Why not to do well in the game

We had a member which attained Money Cap in our FC through auction house manipulation and a lot of crafting. Needless to say we had enough for housing. During the patch square takes it away to "Balance the Economy".

Ye , smart market players may have had fun at beginning. Expecially legacy ones selling lv50 stuff and lv70 stuff as soon as they got mats on first days

1 person didn't manipulate the AH or craft so much to attain gil cap that fast, not with so many restrictions with how many items you can hold/sell and such. You're looking at needing to sell thousands, possibly tens of thousands of items to do so.

So, how did he really get all that money? Think about it for a sec, and you'll see that there's a reason he lost it all.

You have proof the person did that we'll through the ah alone? Even pics would be something.

Well, I guess that's one subtle way to imply RMT on his behalf.

Your friend did not obtain gil cap through AH manipulation and crafting. Not possible without either buying or selling with RMT'd gil. Hell, they even wrote on the Housing patch notes that if RMT gil is involved with your housing purchase, it will be confiscated.

Sorry, but even assuming the best about your friend and trusting he didn't buy gil, he put products up at ridiculous prices which only RMT funded characters could afford. It's his own fault.

Ok, why does market pricing have anything to do with stripping the Gil not related to the purchase? Why should using the AH be a economical death trap?

You can't buy your way to the gil cap via RMTs; it would be tens of thousands of dollars.

I have no idea who in your FC could possibly have that much gil.

Because one of the ways RMT trades their gil is by putting items up for ridiculous amounts.

Please read the key word: RIDICULOUS I said that in my post you quoted too.

If you put up an item for 1 million+ gil, you're literally asking for it to be bought with RMT gil.
