About the Special Task Force (STF)

The Special Task Force is a full-time team working to ensure a smooth and balanced game environment through the suppression of unethical conduct that negatively impacts users’ FINAL FANTASY XI experience. The STF focuses primarily on the elimination of RMT (real-money trading), use of external programs, and other activities that fall outside the scope of GM supervision. Furthermore, the STF utilizes information from GM reports in developing countermeasures against RMT activities and a wide range of violations.
