SE Banning players with large amounts of gil?

[Xikaz]

Rule #1 of bans.

Every single person banned for legitimate reasons (buying gil, botting, exploiting, etc.) will claim innocence 100% of the time in order to scare up mass hysteria and try to get their ban overturned, or simply to spite the company that caught them with their hand in the cookie jar.

Do innocent people occasionally get banned? Yes
Should you believe every single person claiming to be banned wrongfully? Definitely not

This is all sad but true and makes it far far worse for the ones who have genuinely done nothing wrong.

I surpassed the 15 Million gil mark today.
Hopefully i don't wake up in the morning banned.


Would be my best guess at the moment.

Doesn't apply to legacy

Thread lacks common sense. Let's think about this logically.

This economy does not create millions of legit gil. If it did there wouldn't be an economy problem. This means that it should be impossible for a large amount of ppl to make millions of legit gil. There just isn't that much surplus.

The only way for that amount of gil to be created is from rmt. Rmt generate millions of gil, which is transferred to a player, which is then transferred to you when you sell a 2 star item for millions.

Basically "rich" players possess a lot of illegal gil, hence investigation.

which is SE's fault not the crafters fault. And i have made over 100k from leves, im not the only person 10 people doing the same = 1mil, so the economy can have millions

[Meleoffs]

All 99 of my leves can generate 1.5 mil gil easily

Wait, what?

The highest gil reward from any leve I've seen varies randomly between 650-750 and allows a triple turn-in. HQ items boost it up to ~2100 gil x 3 = 6300 gil per leve. Of course these are lvl 45 tradecraft leves so your profit is closer to 3 or 4k. Even when speaking about pure gil generation though, 100 leves will only net you 630k.

Where is this 15k gil leve?

[Riv]

Lots of Legacy players started them game with well over 1 mil.....

How many times does it have to be repeated that this is happening on non-legacy servers? Do people even bother to read past page one before replying?

The best part is that I can't escape the RMT whispers or the gil spam on my server. I somehow doubt they did any ban waves at all on Balmung (as we're legacy), but if they did, they sure did miss the bulk of the RMT guys.
