SE Banning players with large amounts of gil?

[KevinC]

What purpose is whining without you guys doing any action going to serve? If you are indeed innocent and a gaming company does this to you DONT PLAY THEIR GAMES EVERY AGAIN.... There needs to be a stop to this kind of crap and if you just blindly accept like a slave dog that you are and continue to play their games they will CONTINUE to do this... Stop being such pansies and speak with your wallets and get the fanboi out of your blood FFS

Trust me I won't stay and even players that didn't get caught in this mess should be worried too, nothing will prevent them from nuking legit players again next month

Indeed, they're about to alienate a lot of people with this issue.

I'm personally very worried and wary of even touching anything gil-related in this game ─selling tomestone items, let alone gathering or crafting products. Since I can't know the provenance of other's gils, and since selling to a cheater (RMT customer) is handled as if it were cheating in and out of itself (the legit seller being sanctioned in terms of play days during the so-called "investigation", and later on stripped off in-game possessions when deemed innocent, i.e. deprived of most of his gils without ever getting back the sold items), the only logical course is to stay away from the economy and not buy/sell anything from/to other players.

If we believe all witness reports in this thread, it seems that even people owning less that 200k, who made their money with chest coins or even quests, seem to have been affected by this. Therefore I'm not even sure that playing is safe at the moment.

This is all quite problematic for a MMORPG if one can't use the in-game currency for fear of being illegitimately sanctioned by the very publisher itself. Should the witnesses/victims in the thread speak the truth, never have I seen such a mind-numbingly unprofessional and detrimental handling of RMT matters. At this rate, the cure is worse than the disease.

Just look here and on reddit how many people are disgusted by this. If there was only 1 player angry about this I would understand if no one would believe him but now there's A LOT of players speaking out. I hope everyone realize how bad SE screwed and I would be very scared to be hit myself if I have a lot of gils. Hell I made more than 100k from the quests with NPCs, do the NPCs buy gils too now?
