FFXIV conspiracy theory - gil/gold farmers

*EDIT*

Nvm, I'm letting the trolls win this one. It's sad that this forum has some of the same handful of trolls bouncing to every post, trying to cause as much conflict as they can. I came onto this forum to try to have fun and socialize with people, but it seems like it's not going to happen. So I've edited out the original context and am asking everyone to ignore this thread. I'd delete it, but doesn't seem like it's possible. Let it die and make sure not to feed the trolls we have commenting here.

No. There is a literally forum subsection devoted to the number of accounts they ban a week. The game is just popular.

You are trying too hard at this point. :P This is also a very dated theory.

As someone that use to sell currency the reality is companies focus more of the supply side but overtime this tactic has become ineffective because sellers have become smarter but companies have not.

As a seller mine and many other greatest fear is action taken against buyers. The lack of action against buyers fosters an illusion that buying currency is safe for the account holder.

Make sure you realize I put in the threat that it's a fake thing. Obviously it's stuff some people think about or say, but just was a random topic. Maybe very dumb but just a break from the norm. I'm not even here to try to argue on it as would seem too much as if serious. What I will say is anything can be argued or disputed, such as to say the cake is a lie! lol.

Defamation, Libel, Slander and Cyber Smear

Reputation is one of the most important factors that determines the success of a business. How customers and the general public see the business can impact its revenue and its growth. False or misleading information about a company or its product can therefore be devastating. Our Chicago defamation lawyers recognize that defamation law provides a means of recovering damages caused by false statements to the public. If you or your business has suffered damages because of defamatory statements, an experienced business and commercial litigation attorney can help you by identifying the offending statement, establishing its falsity, and pursuing the liable parties to obtain compensation for you.

Jim Morrison said it best: “I've noticed that when people are joking they're usually dead serious, and when they're serious, they're usually pretty funny.”

In other words, whether this thread is meant as a joke or not, this is probably not in your best interest.

Then at this point you are just using the general forums as your own personal blog. I mean the whole it was just a joke thing only goes so far. Random stream of consciousness posts are best left for blogs especially when your intent is to not even have a discussion. I am all for troll posts since sometimes they spark interesting conversations but yeah.

Yep, pretty much this. There are other avenues for that. Like blogs. Heck, you can even have one on the Lodestone itself!

I didn't say I'm not going to have a conversation or have fun. Look at comment where I responded on Lalafell looking like a potato. This is General forum. That means general topics, conversation, and fun. This isn't tech support, feedback, new player help, classes & jobs, gameplay, or any of those types of forums. Each of those have their own that you can access from https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...English-Forums

Only thing I'm saying is I'm not going to argue or take it seriously, as it was meant in humor and I flat out specified that it's not true. So why would I defend it and go off on tangents? That would then be trolling, which I'm not doing.
