    Actually I see more gil buyers with lvl 50 DoW/DoM with only 15 sub class needed wearing full 2 stars HQ gear and didn't even complete castrum/amdapor keep before (needed it for story)

    I met 3 of them already...and god they where bad like Bard with full 2star inc weapon doing 75 dps only on bosses....(this was in AK)

    How's that any worse than wearing only raid gear though?

    Some people choose to craft instead of raiding, obviously they will then have the best crafted gear but not much raid gear.
    The same thing is true for raiders.

    When the game opened there were some people smart enough to buy cheap items from the npc's, such are orange juice, chestnuts and lentils, chicken eggs etc and sell them for a huge mark-up to questers who did not know these were items from an NPC.

    They used this gil to pay for mats etc to level their crafts to 50 using mostly leve's and then reaped in the easy gil by selling the first higher level/HQ crafted items at huge mark-ups.

    Calling them cheats because they used their heads and you did not is ridiculous.

    For the record I was not one of these smart people, but I did get my GSM to 50 as soon as I could (Miner at 42, my BLM at 39) and the gil from market sales early on was very good.

    Most who craft in order to make gil, did so because later on it would help their main class (BLM for me), I think you'll find most gil buyers don't craft, because guess what? They don't *need* to.

    Exactly, they not not likely to waste their time crafting, but usually want to get right into "end game" stuff.

    if you check my levels in my classes you would notice I am also a 50 weaver, 48 gsm, and like 31 miner n 27 fisher. I am all over the place, with 2 level 40 whm n scholar/summoner n 50 paladin. I was not one of those people but at least by the time I hit 50 I had 500k gil after selling allagans from quest rewards n getting my gear through dungeons from open beta and early access playing. I know how to play but some I have watched and have not used a few of these tactics and I ain't asking are they cheating when I know some who really are cheating.

    I am asking is there a way for SE to look back and say yeah they bought gil cause they received this much from this person who got this much from this person and boom connected to gil farmer... or so on, like is there a way for them to track it, in investigation, not to hear people who don't know how people cheat by buying gil, cause I had money once upon a time to waste myself and bought gold in other mmo's n tons of them but do things legit cause I got caught and noticed it was more waste then benefit and I know that the previous mmo's I did it on caught me even after I stopped, so I want to know if SE does deep investigation and punishes these individuals. think people are getting a bit off track and more defensive.

    You have bought gold before. You're just as bad.

    I bought gold in mmo's years ago because I was new to them and I thought it was a legit way to do it. Not like I read terms of service and I wanted to be useful to other players fast since I was behind everyone and wanted to be caught up in the game. There is no legit reason for why I did it of course cause it was still wrong but after being punished and losing my account. I found that it was a good thing that they suspended me and banned the account. I was glad they punished me and taught me a lesson cause I was practically abusing the system. I just agree that others should have to be punished also instead of abusing the system and play the game as it is meant to be played.

    your missing the whole point... I know what I have used buying gold or whatever for in mmo's and I never used it for buying gear. I used it to progress in crafting cause I have always loved crafting then the actual gameplay and making stuff... people getting off subject to defend just a investigation of peoples account -_-

    To be honest I'm finding your writing rather hard to follow, but your saying you bought gold and used it for crafting? If that is true, then it makes no sense to me anyway.

    I'm not defending SE investigating peoples accounts, I wish they would and hurry up about it, rather than auto-suspending people en mass and taking forever for a real person to actually investigate the accounts.

    Exactly, people like the OP are the reason legit players are being screwed and the game economy is in ruins.

    I blame the buyers more than I blame the sellers.
