SE Banning players with large amounts of gil?

[El_Brujo]

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..

it doesn't make any senses and SE need to pull their sh1t together is like saying every crafter stop crafting, stop selling your mats in the Ah and if you going to sell something sell it for 1 gill to a npc or you will be banned for selling in the Ah for a high price ??? wheres my freedom why I sub for a game that is threatening about selling stuff in the Ah ??? wtf if I go run cm 9 times and craft a vanya piece and put it for 9999999999 Is theres any problem ?

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.

Screenshot your proof that you were banned because SE is evil. For all we know you are just some random trying to attack SE and just say you got banned for XYZ reason.

I've been a SE fan for years, until all this started happening.

Be as in-denial as you like, but this has happened and will likely happen again, unless SE actually look into it with actual GM's.

I like the game, but the Customer Support is very very lacking currently.

It needs sorting out badly.

In-game GMs just tell me to contact them by phone or live chat. Unfortunatly chat doesn't seem to exist anymore (I only get the e-mail support) and I work all week so I doubt I can hang on the phone 2 hours

Please stop concern trolling.

1,000,000 gil! How could somebody make that much money! People with over 500k should be banned!!!!!

Are you kidding me?
I have over 500K and I am only level 46....
You are obviously terrible at making money....
Either that or you spend it on retarded stuff like hookers and crack.

[KevinC]

Funny, phone support tells me I have to ask a GM for official confirmation on anything.

were you able to contact a GM in-game?

That is.. kinda insulting... I spent a good amount of gils on M lalafell gigolos and M Roe lap dancers..

Both are humble professions.. I am paying to help feed their families.

And.. you intrested in being the top model for this winter's F miqo'te backpack?

I suspect a portion of the bannings where gil was lost probably fell in the area many people are not even thinking about and it has nothing to do with crafting or gil.

Another group and possibly the larger group were people that used the speed runs to make real money by selling currency to known RMT for cash.

Another smaller group may have been high tier buyers.

A couple of times SE announced of unintentional situations. Violation of those situations would result in an investigation, and possible banning or Account Rollback
2 areas I think this issue may have occurred.
1. AK had speed runs, after the announcement it was unintentional, people were warned to not do the speedruns/circumvent intended design or there could be consequences.
2. The boss (eg Chimera, Hydra etc.) where certain actions could be taken to cause the monster to freeze and then continue to kill it.'

Here is an example of 1 of those warnings, I am sure many did not take it seriously.

This issue is currently under investigation. If a player willfully continues to battle an immobilized monster, the player will be in violation of the user agreement. The game logs of violators will be investigated, and those who are found to be in violation may be subject to punishment, such as a character data rollback or account termination. Please do not try to take advantage of this issue.

In the event that a monster is accidentally rendered immobile, we please ask that all members of the party leave the instance before re-attempting.

It was also later discovered people were doing the same thing for Titan.

The combination of the 2 is probably what many of these people got lassoed into.
So their account got fully or partially rolled back. The banning was during investigation.
