Why Was the Official Statement Ignored?

I don't want to go too far into this, so I'll keep it short. Real life isn't the same as this game.

That was my point, sorry for the wall of text that might have obscured the part where I said "The thing is, this isn't real life". I went back and bolded it.

I was making the comparison for the sake of showing that many people feel angry because they assume real world logic applies here, when in reality (is that an oxymoron?) it simply does not work the same way. I mean I'd blow my top too if I lost 99% of my money, but I would understand why it had to happen.

I agree with the OP. SE doesn't need to explain themselves because they already did. 568 accounts out of hundreds of thousands of accounts were suspended. To me they did an excellent job because of these accounts they seized an exouberant amount of Gil. Now of these accounts suspended and or banned only a small handful were people that come to this forum and QQ...which tells me SE hit the nail on the head. To the ones QQing get over it already, SE did what the community asked them to do and are continuing the battle of RMT. You guys mad Gil was taken are doing nothing but stirring the pot and being hippocrits by demanding SE to do something then whine when they do.

Oh and you don't make 300k Gil from leveling 1-50 unless I'm about to make about 150k in less than a level an a half... I did fates, quests, msq to level 49. I only have 350k and about 200k came from the AH. Your QQ about being left 100k doesn't add up either IMO.

With housing on the horizon you can bet people are going to try to buy rtm Gil. Esp if SE makes the cost to high. They can't make the correct price for the housing if there is so much rtm inflating to economy.
