An Official Notice is NEEDED - why did SE suspend those with high ammounts of Gil.

[Ed_N_Ants]

So far this is what I've received:

"Notice of Account Suspension due to Breach of the FINAL FANTASY XIV User Agreement"

I would check your email when I was suspended from the forum not from the game... I received a email from the dev's that stated the same thing and then what I did wrong and how long I was suspended for... Not saying it is gonna be the same for ingame suspensions but I am sure that they would handle them the same... They don't have bots freezing accounts they have people and they should be emailing you with the reason why you were suspended...

[scarebearz]

The reason claims that I was involved in RMT or botting, yet I have done neither. (I'm not expecting everyone on here to believe me, but would like a GM to take a look at my account)

No time scale was given.

Any official word on this would be nice...

Yup I got the same thing, that's what I deserver from being server first top miner I presume right?

The community might be a little more forgiving(even the ones suspended) if you actually managed to remove the RMT's.

If you've been keeping track with the prices of gil for the last week, you'll see that the price has skyrocketed. (1m gil @ $10 -> 1m gil @ $50) The only way this would've happened if there was some mass RMT bans. Unfortunately, a lot of innocent people got hit by this which is rather upsetting.

Sacrificing legit players gameplay to ban RMT's is NOT an option.

And the fact that Gil spammers and teleporting stealthed Lalafell mining bots are still rampart in the game shows how ineffective there ban was. Removing gil from the RMT's isn't a huge issue as they have endless bots making more, an infinite source. Square Enix should be looking at fixing the acquiring of such Gil in the first place. The fact that these bots have been reported from there inception and they are still playing is disgusting. And how the hell they didn't have spam filters in place on release and the currently implemented ones ineffective is downright incompetent.

I'm more concerned if I get suspended with no reason for a whole week each month. I'll switch to another game pretty fast if they do this each month and I bet a lot of other players will too which is sad because I really wanted this game to succeed. Actually this week I don't mind much cause I have a crap ton of things to do in rl but they still freeze my account for a week which is aprox 3.75$ (not a big deal but if it's each month, i'll just go spend my money elsewhere)

The only impact this seems to have had on the RMT'ers, is it has allowed them to considerably up their prices...

So it seems only the legit players are actually losing out.

What's sad is, within the next few days there'll be an announcement on the main page. They'll puff up their chests and pat eachother on the backs and say how they banned 4000 accounts and removed 80 bagillion gil from the RMT market.
And all the RMT will do is charge more, make the same profit, and continue on as usual.

Yeah and in 1 month will they suspend everyone again?

Yea that's the next concern. Once our accounts have been unsuspended. What's to stop the same suspension happening in 2 days times?
