Real Money Trading (RMT) is the buying and selling of in-game data (items, characters, etc.) in exchange for real life currency. This type of activity is prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Action will be taken against users who have initiated RMT transactions, as well as users who join RMT transactions.

Items and gil obtained through illegal programs and RMT activity greatly affect the in-game economy and disrupt the game's balance. Also, illegal programs may contain viruses and spyware that harm the user. This can be very dangerous, as it may result in data hacking and compromised access.

If you are receiving messages from Real Money Traders in-game, you can report them by accessing the Support Desk (either with the ESC key or by typing “/supportdesk” into the chat bar) and checking under the FAQ section for the topic “How do I report an RMT Advert?”
