Here's how people made millions in 1 month, my story.

I do.


If I choose to invest my playtime into making Gil legitimately, I definitely don't want to have to be concerned that SE will take it all away for no good reason. That is just bad policy.

To the OP, I hope you were able to petition this and get a fair resolution. I would really like to know if you did, because if you did not, this is not a game I want to invest my time into.

No I wasn't, I tried to call them and they told me to submit a ticket in-game. When I did, the in-game support told me to call them. Then I did another ticket stating the phone support told me to contact them and they sent me another reply telling me to phone them. I pretty much gave up at this point and cancelled my sub. GL if you ever need assistance...

oh people didn't get rich from the HUGE WAVE of gil sellers selling a mil for 4$? that's what I heard they were shouting

Some players probly did but Ì doubt that anyone that bought gils online would get 8+ millions and just sit on it.

Plus I doubt someone claiming his innocence for more than 2 weeks now and trying everything he can to get his account re-investigated is a cheater.

What probly happened is some players bought gils, then got items on the market and then the seller was flagged. It's been posted a lot of reddit and even someone here last week stated he bought gils online and was still being able to log on (his post got deleted) thus proving they did absolutly no investigation. All we got were automated messages, no screenshots or logs of "what they found" (people shouting too much get their chat log as screenshot in the suspension e-mail).

Bots don't do leve's (loads more exp if he used all his for mining) nor would they optimise their time mining.

And you can't forget all of the gil you get from leaves. If these guys saved all of their 180ish leaves for 45-50, that's a pretty good chunk of change. The high level leaves give up to 500 gil a pop. You can sometimes also get triple from multi turn in leaves. So that's 90k gil without any triples, they could have conceivably even doubled that if they got lucky on leave selection and cherry picked.

Of course if you had more than twice as much gil from leaves than was possible, like this person:


people might think you used the exploit they just patched that allows you to massively duplicate leave turnins and cheat yourself a pile of gil and a pile of level 50s.

I invite you to take a pencil and a piece of paper. As well as everyone else who can't seem to figure how people made millions in 1 month. I'll even do the math for you, you just need to copy what I'm gonna write and just say OOOOOOOOOhhh I get it! But please feel free to ask me for more explanation if need be.

*removed BS*

Now don't come at me saying 99% was corrupted, it's tottaly impossible, that would even include money from quests. SE screwed up hard, did no investigation at all and just took 99% gils off of lots of player. If we had been caught red handed, our account would have been banned.

so in short, you where an over charging dirty merchant, ok cool, thanks for the tips *tosses paper in the trashcan*

Oh god I'm such a monster! Would you please be so kind to provide me the link with the prices chart of the mats for launch please? Jealousy at its finest. Guess I should have worked my ass off to be server first and then hand out everything free...

Sure you had to pay a price, but bots and RMT are now 100% gone from the game. And only the rich had to pay the price, so really, what price was paid at all? Sounds like a perfect solution to me.

Sorry to break it too you, but Bots and RMTs are not 100% gone from the game. Besides, Why should the OP have to suffer, be it if there is truth in his case, and lose all his hard earned ingame money. There is no logic behind SE action on this. They are STILL investigating innocent people that were banned for being hacked.. I know this because I have a really close RL friend that is going through this right now. It has been upwards of 2 weeks + since he got hacked/suspended. I guess the point I am getting to is, Because of RMTs/Hackers/Botters and SE's method of dealing with this. There are a lot of people really upset, and feel let down. And even more people that have and will continue to stop playing this game.

As one of the early 50 crafter's on cactuar, specifically Armorer.

I can honestly say I probably bought a considerable amount of your ores off the market. Could turn them into nuggets and insta-sell for 30k+.
I can also say there were others I personally know that did this.... and that no way in hell was my gil tainted as it was also from the same market boards, quests, etc.

I was never banned nor my gil taken away, simply because I was under some X amount of gil when they did the wipe.

The amount of ignorant/blind fanboy people in all of these threads supporting SE blows my mind.

If SE intended to wipe RMT gil out of servers by ripping it out of legitimate players' hands, then they should've gone through the steps to determine exactly which transactions were RMT-tainted and ONLY take that gil... not that ridiculous divide-your-money-by-100 thing they ended up doing. The marketplace holds records of the RMT transactions and the gil amounts therein. That's the part that really comes off as unfair to the player. I've seen comparisons to real-life counterfeit situations... yes in real-life you would not keep counterfeit money you mistakenly received, but the police wouldn't divide your bank account by 100 to decide what of your own money you get to keep afterwards...
