[Shougun]

Unless things have changed, trading gil for art commision is not allowed.

So its probably not a good idea to make requests in the OF.

Greetings!

This thread was brought to my attention, along with the other thread that was linked. I wanted to clarify the policies related to real money trading, farming, and power leveling, since this thread does place a slightly different viewpoint on the discussion. While the creation of art can carry a different connotation than real money in terms of something to exchange for gil, your skills and the results of their application (in this case, art) are considered something of real world value. When considering it under this view, the exchange of art for in game currency would be considered a violation of the rules and may result in account actions.

I hope that this helps clarify this question about the application of our policies.

So that's that then though.. Can't officially trade gil for art lol. Seems a bit ...meh.. I guess, but maybe there is some legal thing they wanted to avoid and it's easier this way when things get reported like "they promised me huge soft luscious eyes and these are so flat, I want a refund" and GM is like "............/facedesk".

At least so long as people are not trading it for cash I don't really, personally, care what they do with their gil. Could go to the mall and trade gil for hugs, whatever lol. But yeah, don't get in trouble for something as silly as that XD.

Correct, with emphasis on "officially". There have been Party Finder listings with Twitch links that offer free drawings but include ads for real money commissions as well as requests for donations on the page and then of course you have the ever-present content sales for real money. Nothing has been done about those.
