Maybe it is time for an offical statement from SE.. Regarding the loss of gils..

[Alhanelem]

I do agree that most do not always tell the truth, which is unfortunate, and yes you would have to take it at face value. However, he has been returned to game and was given a full clear, but was not compensated in anyway for lost of gil or play time.

If your suspension was with merit but not serious enough for an outright ban, they aren't going to compensate you.

Fine, don't return play time as it was only a couple of days no big lose.
But I see this as in game theft of gil on SE's end. If I did this to someone they would ban me. So SE, you need to ban your account then.

Hehe... remember the UA that you agreed to? I don't know how you could have missed a statement that was bolded, underlined, in all caps, in it's own section, at the beginning.

Alhanelem the complaint is that Square-Enix's investigation seems to be on par with yours.

1. Keff posted it was a real life friend's and not his. Keff was not suspended.

2. Square-Enix themselves posted they banned anyone that was found guilty.

3. Square-Enix suspended anyone they considered a suspect.

4. Square-Enix returned to play anyone who was not involved in RMT.

5. Square-Enix removed lot of gil from people who were not involved.

6. People want their gil back as they were cleared of any wrong doing

Disclaimer: I haven't had my account suspended have not lost any gil and as far as I know I do not know anyone who has. I have made some pretty decent money crafting, but am by any means rich (I put it into the free company bank along with other free company members as we want to buy a big ol free company house). I am just posting a summary and by no means mean to offend Mr. Alhanelem's or Square-Enix investigation skills. (Political Correctness<tm>)
