Why Was the Official Statement Ignored?

Counterfiet currency is counterfeit. This is your memo: all gils invovled in RMT activites are counterfeit currency. In reality, any business receiving counterfeit currency is a loss they have to take.

Actually no it is not counterfeit. Counterfeit is fake money made to look like real money. RMT money is real money produced by the game. The RMT sites just set up bots to grind large stock piles of money or hack accounts to steal real Gil. In real life, you accept a loss because there are ways you can check if the money is counterfeit or not. In FFXIV you have no way to know if the Gil is produced by RMT or by a legit player. Also in real life there is insurance to protect you from things like this. Have not seen a Gil insurance salesman in FFXIV yet.


Oh and another thing. SE operates and manages the market boards in the game. They take a tax from you for the right to use the market boards. It is them who accepts the RMT money for an item then transfers this Gil to your retainer. This means it is there fault for accepting RMT Gil not the players. Just another reason this was such a horrible and heinous action by SE.
