Is buying gil legitimate

[Black91CRX]

if SE discovers you have purchased said gil for real money, your account will not only be suspended, but completely deleted. RMT harms the legitimate economy in the game and ultimately ends up costing you as a player. So ignore the temptation to deal with the devil so to speak.

I was under the impression that only the sellers were perma banned, the buyers merely suspended.

No the buyers also get banned, my friend got banned because he had a friend (they are not close anymore) log into his account buy gil then mail it to his character. My friend got banned his friend got ill-gotten gains. ;-;
