'We felt that setting decay periods for Penalty Points would provide users with a clear goal in correcting their behavior, and have decided to implement this system in order to better promote reflection and conscious restraint from repeating past violations,' Square Enix writes. Previously, penalty points never expired, which Square Enix says led to offending accounts committing even more violations.

Square Enix is making more details about the system public in order to help players understand how it works, as well as detailing the new way in which accrued points may be reduced if a significant amount of time has passed since a penalty was issued to the account in question. The changes come alongside an update to a hidden penalty point system, which was used internally by Square Enix to punish accounts that went against the game's rules. 'We apologize for the relatively restrictive nature of these changes compared to how the Party Finder was being used until now, and appreciate your understanding,' a post on the official Final Fantasy XIV website reads. Players can still use the tool to recruit for community groups, Free Companies, or player-run events, but the listings must be categorized as 'Other.' Square Enix will also be prohibiting Party Finder listings that are listed in an improper category. Now Playing: FINAL FANTASY XIV ENDWALKER Full Trailer By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
