Does SE check these things?

I would like to think so.

This thread has my support. The more support it get's the quick it gets to the attention of Square.

Honestly if they actually did ban legit players in the last wave(where some got banned for having too much gil) then they really need to work something out. I can guarantee anyone who is buying or selling those tin-gold pieces on the ah for such absurd prices is doing nothing other than buying/selling gil, no legit player can really be that stupid to buy one of these at such price.

If what it takes is looking at the log of every server and seeing who is buying and selling these items and flat out banning every single one of them(unless the items are actually going for vendor value...why people do this who knows) then it needs to be done. There has to be a way for square to see which retainers belong to who and just forego the process of looking to see what they've done, just flat out ban these people. If people start doing the same exact thing to random mats then do the same thing to them, do not give these people the chance to continue.

Well that would just make too much sense now wouldn't it? Obviously there has to be intricate ways of going around telling whether or not this really is a gil seller, why ban his account now when it can be done a week or 2 from now when they're 100% sure and he's already done more dmg than any dmg control can ever undo.

It's the same thing they've done in other games.

You contact them to buy gold and send online payment. The seller tells you to set up a store with X amount of pieces of trash and the price to put up for each piece. Seller goes into your store slowly buying each piece one by one, which transfers the gold from them to you, like you purchased.

In other games, there was no record of who bought what on public display, or even any record at all. So it would be very simple for SE to spot the gil sellers and buyers in this case and ban them. Other players will also be able to see just who is buying gil on their server. <-- Quite funny.

Sadly, unless you know the retainer owners .. we wouldn't be able to figure out who actually is buying gil. That being said SE can track that info though.....
