Art for Gil: Against TOS?

[Hyunckel]

A player can send any amount of gil he/she chooses to anyone for any reason so yes this would be allowed.

What ISNT allowed in regards to the TOS is to demand real life money for ingame services regardless what they are.

So the Artist would be ok because they aren't offering "any in-game currency, accounts, characters, in-game services, or in-game virtual items."

However the person purchasing the Art would fall foul of the TOS because they are?

If it's not against ToS, every other RL service could be offered for Gil as well?

Wait, wasn't there this girl in FFXI who....? O.o

Directly from the ToS:

2.2 Real Money Trading, Farming and Power-Leveling. You may not sell, purchase or exchange for real-world money or value any in-game currency, accounts, characters, in-game services, or in-game virtual items.

I mean so cute that it's their own TOS. But of course it's ok because it's them selling it......~

Hmm I wonder...
If somone makes a bet with someone when they're drunk, can they pay him/her with gil instead of real money or is it againt ToS?
Asking for a friend...

Guys, all things said though... SE can't read minds. If you don't advertise it in shouts and don't talk about it in mails or on here, I doubt they could fathom why the gil is being sent. Helping out a friend / a random person, simply because you're nice - plausible deniability, imo.

Aslong as the the buyer and seller is dealing in Gil then its perfectly fine.

Its when the seller demands real money or the buyer offers it where it goes against TOS.

The reason that rule even exists is to prevent third parties from profiting off of SE's (or really any online) game. An artist is not making real money off of selling art for gil.

it clearly says "you" may not, not "we" may not
the wording excludes themselves from the rule

It's against the ToS because there is no control of that comission on the RL part. People could use comissions as an excuse for real money instead of art, for gil in game, and that's where SE has no control over it, hence labeling it RMT (even if it's not) just to avoid having to deal with the posibilities. You could always do it privatedly (as not making forum threads for comissions or advertising around).
