SE Banning players with large amounts of gil?

[Minigae]

Your friend was buying gil. These lies pop up every time there is a ban wave from the so-called innocent but it is always people that know damn well they cheated in some way. Should permanent ban the suspected account and this guy defending him both. RMT and bots are out of control good job SE lets get some more bans going.

Problem is innocent people do get caught in the net by unknowingly selling items to people who bought gil. Thats where the frustration is coming from, not the people pretending to be innocent. But its a sad fact that its hard to tell the two apart unless SE investigates the accounts, which does lead to some people being suspended.

I agree let's start with YOUR account; you are a level 50 Alchemist, Goldsmith, AND Weaver, you probably sell items on the market board probably for a profit. PROVE that you didn't cheat or bot in some way, PROVE that you didn't sell to an RMT or a gil buyer. Now do you see the problem or do I have to simplify it further? Oh and by the way you can call back in 3-7 days during normal business days/hours wait on hold for over 2 hours only to be told that customer service can't/won't do anything about it.

Sound fun?

Oh my mistake I checked your character again, apparently you have ALL the crafting classes @ 50

Also one of my best friends got banned for having ~400K gil he earned this after busting his tail gathering and crafting for hours each day in order to afford his relic weapon and the FC and Player housing when that comes out. So I ask all of you is this an acceptable solution?

Sorry SE, but I will not be setting up a active subscription for FFXIV. I don't want to play a MMO where they ban first and ask questions later. (Especially with SE bad customer service record.) Who want to play a game where one have to question each action one do and ask oneself if the action may trigger some automatic RMT behavior filter.

SE did exactly the same in XI when I was playing it. SE started to ban people that sold certain items to a certain NPC, just because that some RMT had done the same. This was the tipping point when I stopped paying for my XI subscription back in the days.

I also have tons of gil and I am not worried one bit about a ban because I did everything legit. You bought or sold gil or you botted I am 100 percent sure of this if you got banned. SE is not going around banning people just cause of the amount of gil they have. And btw I have Whm and botony at 50 and blm at 47 if SE was just banning people for their hard work id of been one of the first to get it.

Yeah cause it really make sense to buy 10-15 millions gils and just sit on it doing nothing right? I made a fortune cause i was the only lvl 46+ miner on my server for several days, I didn't sell any 2 stars HQ stuff and still made a million per day selling DS ores at 13k a pop, gold sand and gold ores at 9k, mining pet at 15k, grade 3 matter at 4k, not to mention the gils I made from being the first to unlock electrum and cobalt too as well as HQ rare mats. You have no clue what you are talking about so I suggest you just slowly walk away.

I'm not sure how you can be 100% sure. Especially since you'd have to call everyone here who claimed they earned it legit a liar. Does KevinC's situation sound so outlandish? Does mine?

I took the time to read all 26 pages of this thread thus far. Jacotto its either your world has no other 2-star capable crafter besides you for you to make 10+mill simply through commissions because on Cactuar, although I can HQ 2-stars, I'm just dime in a dozen of 2-star crafters. Its around 500k worth of materials for a 900k craft, so a net profit of 400k. You claim you made 10+mill from crafting 2-stars, you would've had to have well over 100 customers who all had millions of Gil. My point is, in a game this big, for you to secure 100+ of the richest people your world, seems a little far fetched.
