Is FF14 worth playing for free?

Absolutely : you have a few limits but you can play until level 70 (Stormblood end) for free with no time limit. It's not a scam, it's just that FF14 is so successful (it's the only MMO RPG that, in DPS class I could do a raid at 1 A.M and not wait for long as example).

Is FF14 noob friendly?

Almost every class is good for beginners. Tank classes are easier than they are in most MMOs, though tank "pressure" is still totally a thing. Most of the dps classes are pretty simple, except for the ones added later that you can't unlock until a higher level anyway. I like Lancer as a starting DPS class.

Why does FFXIV cost money?

The two jobs of post-play or post-sale payments to a company is to (1) pay off the initial development, and (2) make profit such that new content development is possible.

Does FFXIV ban bots?

Trust me bots do get banned. But I think you are partially right, the priority does feel like it's on Gil sellers specifically. There's just way more rmt bots than real players that have been verified as botting. Partly due to rmt being so obvious, and player bots being harder to verify.
