SE Banning players with large amounts of gil?

[Kaedan94]

blah blah blah

Your wife shouldn't have sold items for ridiculously outrageous prices that only people who buy RMT'd gil would be able to afford. It sounds cliche, but crafters who did that were asking for it. I have 50 BSM, 50 ARM, and 50 GSM and I've never sold things for ridiculously high prices, have many millions of gil, and was not suspended despite having many millions of gil. Why? Because people didn't buy my goods with RMT gil because I didn't put them up at unreasonable prices.

No way. A legacy player with millions of gil!? What a rare sight.

You should know better than most the cost of making lvl 70 gear. If a crafter on a new server spends days playing 10+ hours to become the first one capable of HQing some darksteel or astral stuff he should be punished?

People only start buying coke and other ingredients when they have all the (FAR cheaper) darklight they want. This means the first 9/18 ingredients that crafter buys will cost him over 100k each. At this point he probably has 1.5 million minimum. So you're telling me if he HQs something he spent over a million to try to make, and he sells it for a profit to other crazy people like himself who rushed to the end, he is asking to be banned?


The amount of short sighted dicks who condone the flippant banning of anyone who plays differently than themselves on this forum is staggering. I wasn't banned either but I haven't even heard of anyone getting banned on a legacy server.

Jealous people defending SE, when they can clearly see SE is in the wrong currently.

Those with a lot of gil got punished, while those with quite a lot now have more than we had to begin with, as they could still sell during the week suspension.

Is it their turn to be suspended? How long will this go on for?

We have the right to list items for whatever price we wish, people don;t have to buy them.

Most the items I sold to make millions were under 50k, most being around 5-10k.

I am in contact with the gaming press about this. Post your stories here:

Long Story short, last few pages turned into a White Knight Trench battle with name calling and stuff. So I guess that is one of the reasons. OR.. Lalafell Assassins.

Bad rumors are bad. I made my GIL legitimately and I didn't get banned. I have much more than the people who claimed that they were "banned".

Then screenshot your wealth.
For all we know you are some random trying to defend SE and just say you got XYZ wealth.

And you are on Legacy, you don't count.

I have crossed the elusive 10mil point sometime ago and I have yet to receive an auto ban or lock on mine account. Earned legit; I spend a lot of time crafting and selling on the markets, typically pulling over a mil a day, sometimes more if I want.

So, it would seem, SE more then likely looks at large 500k+ transactions rather then small 25k-50k ones: which is what I usually sell at. Though I am quite certain that at least a 10% of the gil I currently hold was, at some-point, attained from ill gotten means given how much bad money is floating around.

11mill+ and going up every day so far and no problems, hardcore crafter made my money mostly out Vanya and heavy darksteel especially on the weekends I can made 1mill+ is the demand is high on gear and mats, during the week I just sit on revenant toll and spam my services I can make from meld and crafting like 100k a day on commissions

The first wave of suspensions was on the 27th September, for those that had 8-10mil+ "on hand" on non-legacy servers.

Therefore you were probably below that when it happened, luckily for yourselves, but it may happen again..
