Final Fantasy 14 is a subscription game, but it is currently overrun with spam bots that are shouting annoying “offers” at us. In response, Square Enix has now introduced new countermeasures. Furthermore, we can now stock up on stylish Chinese clothes.
“Special offer! Lots of Gil for very little real money!!!! BUY NOW!!!! @[email protected]” Players of Final Fantasy have had to endure such sayings in the chat for some time now when the spam bots are back. It’s pretty annoying, and until now, you could only block these spam jokers individually or awkwardly report them as a “bug report” via an online form on the game’s website. Both were not very helpful.
Therefore, the developers at Square Enix have implemented a feature with the latest patch 3.4 that allows us to report annoying spammers directly. The system then automatically checks if the person is a spammer, and if so, a virtual muzzle is placed on them, and they are effectively silenced. On the other hand, those who troll around and misbehave can be sent straight to the virtual jail by GMs via report.
Silk Dresses from the Middle Kingdom
In addition to the new anti-spam function, Final Fantasy 14 now also offers new clothes in the item shop. These garments are completely new and were originally intended exclusively for the Chinese. Therefore, they have a slight Far Eastern style. Meanwhile, Square Enix has also made the Chinese dresses available for the Western market. In addition to the clothes, there’s also a new emote and saddlebags for the Chocobo.
