You may be legit but I'll bet my last gil that some players are able to pay these extortionate prices by buying gill.

Bump just because.
Deleted, of course. As with the prior mega-thread. This one is likely to go soon as well. As if that would stop players from posting about it and starting more and more threads? And wouldn't attract people's attention. (...something something... censorship... something)
ITT: WAY too many people saying "Gils" - Gil is singular AND plural. Would you say monies? No, so don't say gils... FISH have gills, ffxiv does not. (Except pugils... they have gills but that has nothing to do with the game's currency.)

Worst CS ever.
Bump - still waiting for answers.
Yes you would use monies as it is grammatically correct in reference to the plural of money. Gil is a made up word, So Gils could be correct ^_^
Also, agree it isnt hard to make money.
But, and a big but.
When you sell something to another player, whether it's directly or through the Marketboard. You are not creating money, it is just a transference of monies from the buyer to the seller. If you sell items to a NPC vendor then you are creating gil. Or when you do Leves, quests, dungeons that give gil. They are some of the methods to create Gil legitemetly.
The problem is, SE should have a good idea how much Gil could be created within a specific time frame. Say for example a crafter or gatherer is running around with 50 million gil in the first week and SE checked the logs, did the maths and came to the conclusion that only 20 million could have been created legitemetly. Then theres 30 million plus that has been created by illigitemate methods.
So STF suspends teh player with 50 million. The player with the largest amount of exploited gil and rips most of it away. Which brings the balance of the total gil more in line with their calculations of the possible Gil created in the time frame.
Sucks to be the one with 50 million. But, for the overall health of the game. Was needed.
My 2 cents.
