SE Banning players with large amounts of gil?

[Speeral]

Think about how many players were tempted to buy gil in the first few weeks . . . .

7$ per mil
29$ per 10M

for the price of the game you could buy 10M worth of gil, probably have enough run dungeons till your fingers bled . . .

at those prices I am absolutely positive many bought, and bought a few times thinking it was safe. then that gil circulated and now we are here . . .

I am also pretty sure there were many players who had no interaction with rmt, not mentioning hacked accounts. Deep down i do feel/think/personal opinion many many many took advantage of the cheap gil and bought quite a bit.

End of the day in all of this there was going to be collatoral damage, and it is players choice roll with the punch or not sub to the game.

For me I rolled with the punch after my account was hacked and cleaned out, and I am still playing with having re earned 200k or the 900 taken from me. All of that gil re earned is new server gil also :P go craft leve's

All this talk of sanctioning crafters and gathers make me afraid to invest time in this game. SE really bungled this re-release. I don't think I will be playing much anymore if they are taking 99% of what crafters/gathers earned legitimately.

If you never broke any rules, you should NEVER have negative actions taken against your account.


Real classy SE

I won't be paying for my sub if this isn't dealt with, not affected myself but it's not acceptable.

According to the CS rep I talked to they are powerless and your only real shot is to open an ingame ticket to the GM's. The question is how long it will take before I have to resub..on the fence about resubbing just to find out they can't do anything either. This whole scenario has just been handled so poorly..it's bad enough being wrongfully banned for 7 days but to not even get an actual investigation? Also it was such an automated process to the point that my retainer's still had their gil so people who may have avoided the 8mil barrier had retainer gil stocked up as to avoid having coin directly on your character.

Edit: They replied ingame with talk to the phone people. Really? So go back and forth endlessly until what?

Right, because listening to ppl whining about sanctions (who are *always* innocent of course) is a perfectly reasonable method of acquiring the truth. Fact is, everyone says they are innocent. They are not. You dont have to be a genius to realize you are making far more gil than should be possible. But because ppl are profiting from it, they try to convince themselves that its all totally legit. Its hard to turn away anything that gives you a huge benefit, even if all common sense tells you that you should.

Willful blindness is a very real psychological trap used to justify behavior. Ppl will tell themselves anything if it means justifying a huge profit.

120k from allagans and questing in two weeks worth of time. But of course I must be lying and proclaiming my innocence to save those millions of gil I have stashed away.. such fail logic. Some people ARE innocent. SE is guilty of using a gauntlet instead of a glove.

120k in two weeks =/= 8+ million in a month. You only serve to prove the point.
