How Gil Sellers / Buyers are doing business (SE Please Track and Do Something)

[Vivi_Bushido]

Wouldn't want some RMT to accidentally buy my stuff

I don't think RMT is necessarily buying random stuff for high amount of prices. I think this is probably more to easily trade gil between their accounts faster as you can only exchange 1mil at a time.


It's most likely:

A customer purchases gil on a website. EZ pay asks you to list Allagan pieces or another item. You tell them your retainer name, and then he buys your items instead of sending by mail or trade. Since this is a complete exchange over the MB; it would be harder to track the source of the gil and the paying customer wouldn't get flagged as a gil buyer since the purchase was made through the market.

name your retainer Ez Pay' and see if they buy your pieces for that amount

SE don't care, they are not going to start banning people who buy gil because they would lose their monthly subscription. With regards to gil sellers they don't see them as spoiling the game in any way unless they are bots running dungeons. Se's philosophy is if someone buys gil so they can improve their gameplay let them buy it, better that than someone quitting the game because they can't progress any further. It's annoying, it's cheating and it should be stopped but hey, SE are on a win win situation here.

Those items are not always bought by RMT. On my server, some ppl buy them before changing server. Since you can't keep more than 1.5m or something (don't remember the exact amount) they try to convert as many gils as possible in demi-materia and allagan coins. So when they are in their new server they can just sell them to NPC and get a % of their gils back (lower than original amount but still higher than 1.5m).

Is RMT buying and selling Allagan pieces still a problem on other servers like it was 3 years ago? On Balmung this isn't an issue.

Just checked the MB myself, didn't see anything odd. However for all I know they could also be doing the thing with Elemental shards or other "junk" items.

Take off your tinfoil hat and go have a look at the Lodestone where every month SE is banning hundreds of accounts for RMT. Sellers and buyers both.

You seriously think SE kiss goodbye 100's of subscriptions each month. You are deluded. The banned accounts are the ones advertising Gil sellers, they just keep coming back with new names.

You clearly didn't do what the first 5 words of my reply said to do.
