High-level crafters beware: You get suspended if you sell to players who bought gil

[Ssuusshhii]

1 mil to make, so 2 mil charge? That's 100% profit, and that's a ton of money as well. Justification?

You mean like real life? Have you ever left your house?

This thread benefits me in that I was going to purchase long FF14 subscription, but now I will not. I will keep it monthly, because I cannot be sure what they will ban for next.

Disregarding the people who bought/sold gil for a moment, did these sweeping bans also affect the botting Disciples of Land?

It's probably obvious by reading this thread that most posters did not major in economics nor law. They did not even minor in these fields, for that matter.

I find that thought rather comforting for the world —the real one, I mean— that these people don't run our banks nor our courts; yet the very thought of them being allowed to vote is unambiguously disturbing at the same time, considering we're mostly operating under the law of the majority —yes, in the real world, again.

I thought the internet would bring education to the masses. Apparently, I was wrong. Or it takes a hell of a longer time than I thought.

The spamming chat bots and the teleporting miners still around I believe saw a few in game before logging.

It appears to only be affecting players with > xxxx gil. Speculation right now is > 8-10 mil is the "investigation" point.

It does not seem very wise to do this over a weekend, that kind of poorly planned dickery is what causes you to lose subscriptions.

It's always the guilty that cry the loudest about their "innocence".

If only this was what happened. Except in this scenario, take away the ban's from any of the hunter/carrier/buyer's/mule's with less than 10 million gil, and add in every non-legacy player with over XXX amount of gil (currently thought to be 8mil+)
