SE is suspect

[Skivvy]

Was your friend telling the truth or the "office manager" ?

Hate to split hairs here, but she definitely was not my friend. I was glad to see her go :X

And the manager had the right of it. Check fraud was involved, and there was absolutely no effort involved in hiding who cashed the check (she changed the recipient to herself and endorsed the back). No denying that one.


I think it's always easiest to hate on the person who calls the shots, be it a manager, or to get back on point, SE with all the bannings. I would assume a good number of people deserve to be banned but are telling a different tale to their mates.

Just sayin this is the way they always handled it in FFXI...

Everyone from the RMT's all the way down the foodchain to the people who unknowingly received bought gil through legitimate sales on the AH got banned...

You are giving SE too much credit. The most likely scenario is that SE did run a character search that had the wrong criteria for picking up RMT characters, and banned everyone the search returned without doing a manual double check on the search result.

Which leads back to the other posts floating around that say they are banning people with over a certain amount of gil. Which is targeting legacy players, wanting to break everyone down to a peasant levels of gil. Classic american govt tactics.

Its just another plan by the man to keep a brotha down.

Not saying everyone who has been banned deserved it (maybe they did, maybe they didn't..who knows!), but people do have a tendency to lie when they get caught and punished for misdoings.

Fun story. A coworker of mine got fired for stealing a good chunk of money from the company. When she was leaving, she told everyone that she was let go due to a lack of work. A few of her office friends were pissed at the manager until the real story came out.

Aye I agree with you there with your story.
Gold buyers will fabricate anything to make it seem like they got banned for another reason.
They just want to cause a stir of trouble, to get back at SE for banning their illegal activity.

The problem with your theory is that they are doing this on the Non-legacy servers. If you where on a legacy server and got banned then I would have to think you deserved it for some reason.

got hacked (i assume, was never able to log in to verify), so whoever was in charge of my character prolly did something.

What's with the title. Broken is english?

Why you asking me? ask square enix.

Did you ask Square Enix about your theory?

As has been stated, SE has no use for your gil. they would only take it if you acquired it inappropriately.

SE is not interested in reducing population. More population = more profit.

Do you think they would really say?...

I just happen to be a conspiracy theorist by nature. So im tossing ideas out there and see how they stick up to criticism. Aint got nothing else to do cause im waiting for ban removal atm.

And no, i did not acquire anything inappropriately.

I wouldn't really expect you to say so.
