SE Banning players with large amounts of gil?

Hopefully these boards will weed out the masses when the free time expires this weekend :D

If you feel so strongly that you are right, please do everything you can to have my account thoroughly investigated by a GM and the results of exactly why I was suspended posted here on this thread.

I'm more than happy for a GM to do this.

It seems they really did...

My main (used to sell HQ accessories/HQ 1 star items, materia etc) had 12.6mil - logged in and it's now 126k.

My alt (selling accessories, mats and materia mostly) had 3.4mil - logged in and still has 3.4mil.

No email or anything.

Will be contacting live chat support again soon, totally ridiculous.

Yeah my main had it's gil exactly divided by 100 I believe so like 12,6xx,xyy to 126,xxx, if that makes sense.

I'm sure some will try "trolling" me and accusations, but my problem is with SE.

Funny thing is, if I actually was a RMT'er, then these "trolls" should also be complaining that my account was returned and that I was left with over 3.5mil.

So no matter if I'm telling the truth or not, SE has a lot to answer for.

Na player here from famirit. I went from 1.2mil (800k from grinding CM, spirit bonding and selling qt3 when they were 70-100k, sold phi tome crafting mats for rest). Logged in, 50k gil.

I can see why they can't tell us what kind of investigation they did...

16mil to 160k..I was calmly waiting for them to do whatever they needed to do and they didn't even investigate me. No RMT, no botting, just entirely too much free time. Like if they actually did investigate the number of transactions are ridiculous and spread throughout the day selling the same genre of items to the masses. I call bullshit on this entire thing, not only was I robbed of 7 days at ground zero gametime, the crucial time, I also got robbed of all the time I've invested thus far after putting off my combat job a while just to focus on making coin. This is not how you treat people, so fucking livid. Can't wait until tomorrow to call NA CS who already are powerless in their own game so I can beg for them to ACTUALLY investigate me until I get brushed aside and wind up quitting. Why invest time in a game that disciplines you for doing too much? Just absolutely ridiculous...

I have a feeling that their reason to remove all your money is that they noticed you profited almost all of it from gil buyers. That's the only reasonable thing I can think of if your alt got to keep everything.

Or maybe the entire process was automated so there was no investigation to begin with, hence why only the main characters were affected. It seems they didn't even bother making their Gil deletion process work across different characters on the same account nor did they make it delete Gil on retainers. The whole business just seem like the kind of out-of-touch behavior SE support has always been famous for. But hey, as far as half of the player population is concerned, you all got what you deserved because apparently, according to SE, they NEVER wrongly suspend anyone in the first place. Ironic how they go out of their way suspending people from the forum for "encouraging others to discriminate against a specific group" when they do the job themselves better than any poster ever could.

That sounds more reasonable to be honest. It definitely is the worst type of process when it comes to something like this. I can understand that they want to save the economy on the servers, but when so many innocent people get caught in between, it's not worth it. They should had been able to investigate it in a more detailed manner and focus on getting innocent people caught to a minimum.
