Seems we got a gil buyer over here.
Nah just kidding. I'm also good with buying $1 bills for $100 in real life to show off how rich I am. I want the other kids to see who's cool around town.
yea and in real life you can shoot fireballs out of your hand right? comparing anything in this game to rl is just wrong.
also i didn't say that was the reason they were buying them just a guess, i don't know why people want them so bad but i just know that they do and will pay allot for them!
Yea because we all know how accurate SE is with their bans right? i have had a nearly full blacklist since EA and not one of them has Deleted next to their names, the gold bots shout for hours on end in cities, the mining bots i see never get banned, but anyone who has allot of gil from playing the market or crafting ultra rare items gets auto banned. so yes i have complete faith SE will get this right.
I tell you what if you don't believe me, put up some pieces for similar prices on your server and see what happens.
Ez Pay is also on Excalibur on the Silver Pieces list:

I think you people are missing the point yes it COULD be used as an item to sell for a ridiculous amount because someone bought that much gil, but its not. SE is going after people with 8mil and up of gil on hand I am willing to bet they are NOT checking gil on hand+ value of ITEMS in inventory/retainer/mail. A more accurate reason they are buying these is because its better to over spend on these items and lose the difference than it is to lose the entire account all together. Why should they care if they spend 3mil extra buying up these pieces when losing the account cost them 8mil or more.
edit:
The price for silver pieces on my server is 4000 per an up (NPC for 500)
Gold 39500 per an up (NPC for 2500)
no worse than someone putting up the vanya robe of healing for 750,000/ then 3 days later another one for 800,000/ both sold, so yea people are making money, but the people spending the money or buying it, so its a full circle. Buy gold from gill seller pay 750k for robe, make another robe sell it for 800k because I know people buy gill and will pay that, and now you have an exploited market.
No. No you wouldn't. Because if you did, that would mean you were selling to a bot. This makes you complicit, intentionally or otherwise. The left hand, as it were, does not need to know what the right hand is doing to be culpable for the right hand's crimes. Guilt by association. You shouldn't have let that bot sell to you. If a thief steals an apple from you, you feed the thief and are therefore abetting him. Similarly, if you take money from RMT, you are laundering and are thus similarly complicit.
What? Vanya robe baseline craft cost is around 450,000g on my server (that's JUST the Potash), you're looking at around 500k if you buy up the other mats. You can expect to pay more for an HQ item so 750k-800k is not unreasonable.
Clearly the people that can afford to buy these legitimately are few & far between, but your logic makes no sense at all. It hurts my brain trying to understand what you're getting at.
