How Gil Sellers / Buyers are doing business (SE Please Track and Do Something)

[Elvine]

I've seen and heard about the character name "Ez Pay" on multiple servers. Square Enix needs to back track the Retainers and their owners that were selling Allagan xxxx Pieces to Ez Pay and start handing out some bans.

Servers "Ez Pay" that have been confirmed on here.

• Gilgamesh
• Cactaur
• Ultros
• Moogle
• Midgardsormr
• Excalibur
• Hyperion

Just checked on my server(Coeurl) and yeah I see some guy named Ez two buying about 2M worth of silver pieces just today at 12:44 AM Est. Also see some other buyers for absurd prices that cannot be legitimate players.

why sell them for that amount though when you can never convert them into gil for anywhere near that amount?

[LiadansWhisper]

This doesn't appear to be going on on Balmung, anyway.

That's the point. It's Gold Sellers that are buying them.

These people are obviously buying Gil from Gil Sellers. It's not the point that they won't be able to convert them. They are trying to avoid being detected or punished by SE. Players can play the "dumb card" and say they can't control if someone wants to drastically over pay for an items worth.

And here I was thinking on putting up some of my items for a ridiculous price to save retainers space. Such a relief I hadn't...

There is (was?) apparently an exploit where you could use these, and another item, at a vendor to get 3.33 times the return, rinse, repeat. I never did it, and don't know exactly how it worked, but when i heard about it, i expected waves of bannings, and hey look!

I don't think there's much of a problem listing things for high prices... it's that people (RMT) are buying said overpriced items and millions of Gil are being exchanged.

Wouldn't want some RMT to accidentally buy my stuff
