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".

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 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.
