Here's how people made millions in 1 month, my story.

Most world currencies are not backed by anything. They are just pieces of paper/coins with no intrinsic value.

Financial derivatives do not represent any real objects. The US derivatives market totals something like $600 trillion which is more than 10x the world GDP.


All of these still have value because people collectively place 'faith' in the system. If I spent many many hours acquiring a currency which is deemed real enough to warrant rampant RMT only to have it stripped away I'd feel robbed as well.

The major difference being: you can physically buy food, clothing, housing, and anything you want in the "real world" with physical money. If one can't see that, there's no helping him/her. I agree that all currency is basically made up, but let's not exaggerate or blur the lines between reality and a video game.

If the guy made the Gil completely legit like he says he did then he should be given it back. People who are in here trying to tell him he cheated without any actual proof need to stfu. I fell for you OP, i would prolly quit the game in you're position.

Any and all gil that was made by questing should be returned. Same with the items he sold but it won't be becasue SE didn't bothered to look. If I'm the first to be the highest lvl craftsman/gatherer on server you're dame right I'm gonna corner the market. Am I wrong for doing so? I don't think so. And its funny that people are saying the since there are lvl 50s running around they don't need to buy from the market. The short answer to that is, PEOPLE ARE LAZY! I hate crafting but I'm doing it so I won't have to pay someone else to do it. But as everyone that has used the MB knows if I can get it from there , I'm gonna buy it if I'm LAZY that day. He had the market cornered and people that grinded to 50 DoW/M, either through being LAZY, or just out of convenience, bought from him. Not everyone bought there gil in EA. I didn't run into gil spammers until the end of the first week of official launch. Ok I'm rambling I'm done

The more I read these stories the more I'm certain you cheated in some fashion. SE knows how, so thats good enough for me.

The proof is in the ban and the gil wipe done by an entity that has all the proof in the world.

I've played enough games ans seen enough crap pulled by companies to know they aren't always right. Infact a lot of the time their wrong, they have to answer to nobody so they can do as they please to an extent, I haven't seen a single person post about being suspended and returning with all their Gil intact. Until I do I believe SE have just done as they pleased.

i call BS right after you said you was farming mils off of darksteel at lv42, i have a 50 miner an i know for a fact that without Truth of Mountian, you wouldve been to lucky to even get 1 successful attempt off of the unspoiled node, and most of the time wouldve jsut got "You Obtain Nothing".

Sorry buddy but you're a total noob.

At 46 you can start mining timed nodes, I never said lvl 42. In addition, the DS always spawn under the same OUT OF REACH line, you just need to use 3 swing to make it pop, then pop your 50% gathering skill and you get 3 more shoots letting you mine 9 ores... Learn to play before posting

[KevinC]

And then ppl who bought your ore at 13k each go charge 9999999 Gil for their craft (at least they have to cover the mat cost) and since only Gil buyer can afford that,all the crafters who bought ore from you are filled with RMT gil. Of course they will keep buying your ore again, so eventual RMT flow back into your pocket.

Actually they were buying them to make a nugget for their relics, there were no 2 stars items 2 weeks after launch, tomes mats were not for sell yet (on my server that is), not to mention I couldn't even provide the HQ ores. Please try to think before posting even if it seem really really hard.

I cancelled don't worry. I still can't believe SE didn't post anything about asking us to let them know if we think it was a mistake so they could investigate again. Phone support tells us to ask in-game and then the GM in-game tells us to call them...
