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
