I believe it's just people with a large amount of Gil. I started playing on Gilgamesh as soon as phase 4 / early release came out with the intent of getting a gathering class to 50 and then to start crafting ASAP in order to make myself ton's of Gil so that I wouldn't have to worry about any money issues when I started leveling my Disciples of War / Magic. I made over 10 million gil this way in the first few weeks the server came out, because everyone was in a mad rush to get their relic items created. (Hundreds upon hundreds of players on one of the most populated servers looking to the only 1-2 Crafters on the entire server that can make the relic weapon they need = tons of profit).

I never made a 2 star recipe item on that character, EVER. After the initial rush and prices died down, I decided to start on the new server that opened with my friends because they could not get onto Gilgamesh since it was always full.

I haven't played on my Gilgamesh character in over two weeks, and I still got suspended.

Good riddance, I say.

What reason would I have to buy Gil, having multiple crafting classes at 50 and also a 50 miner? I made PLENTY of profit by starting gathering / crafting first, their was/is absolutely no reason for me to buy Gil. You can look up both my characters, "Lalafell Lafell" and "Fate Forever" to see just how active I was in crafting and gathering.

This is pretty troubling to me. I make hundreds of K daily and can make 1 star items for almost all DoH classes. I've been eyeing two-star gear and starting to gather materia and HQ equip I need for it.

If I start producing 2 star gear and making serious gil, am I going to be banned too? seriously i would like an answer?

I'm just trying to save up for my own large house when the time comes.

Most of these people are either Win sellers, who sell a win run for 500K and higher, and chest farmers, who have abused the current system to gather High value mats people pay high amount of gil for by joining groups and making people who want to run the dungeon leave so they can continue to harass another goup they will join to continue their chest farming.

Ah, so it looks like 8 figures is the magic number. I can think of a few people I know who will get hit by this on Coeurl, and who will be immensely displeased with SE. If I had chosen something less useless than ARM for my first 50, I'd probably be one of the people banned, ha.

Edit2: I just got off the phone with support. The support fellow (very helpful) let me know that the account is banned for 72 hours for RMT investigation. He put me on hold for a few minutes and came back to let me know that his colleagues are all dealing with calls about this as well - his best guess is that they blanket banned folks with a lot of gil and will be figuring out which are RMT and which aren't. This is a terrible way of going about this, but it's better than directly being banned for the titular reason

Saw this on the redit topic a few minutes ago

10m is the auto ban not 1m else all crafters would be banned

I guess it's time to file this under the "Can you believe SE actually did this?" category.

Well, I haven't gotten any emails yet, but 10mil blanket ban would be beyond stupid - I started 2.0 with more than that, and I am not even one of the rich crafters :/

Nice to know they're combating the RMT banks, sorry for the legit earners, i think a few of our craft LS will be going offline for 3 days.

Relax guys if you are innocent they most probably release u in a day... Hopefully this destroy those who bot farm.
