Gil Farming, RMT, and Housing - How Can We Feel Safe?

[Novari]

We're not concerned about people within our company being personally involved in wrong doing, but we all use the market board to sell things that we craft or gather and we've sold a few primal runs. What our concern is is that we can't possibly know how that gil was acquired. Is that something we could potentially be penalized and have our house confiscated for? Or will actions be targeted against actual wrong doers instead of the accidental and unwitting beneficiaries.

It would be a pretty huge disappointment if all of us worked hard to earn gil in a variety of ways for a large house to enjoy only to find ourselves being penalized for another's illicit activities.

My FC of four people have been able to collect 800k each since 2.1 first came out. It is not difficult to use in game fountains for Gil, no matter how much people like to QQ about it. Also, selling runs is perfectly legitimate I don't even know why people are still QQing about that.

To OP, sorry but there isn't anything you can do about it. It's no different than how counterfeit money can be taken away from you without reimbursement. Your only option is just to go through with your plans and hope that you don't get shafted by other dishonest people. That's basically how we're forced to live our day to day lives.

A large house of 150m would only take you a little under 4 years at that rate.

Just throwin a random like. Couldn't care less about housing because its entirely useless but these guys are from a linkshell im in so yeah <3

Otherwise, I think SE gonna "scan" how you re earnin money. Not how people that gave you actually acquired some.

generate your gil through ingame fountains. Dungeons, dailies, guildleves, etc. any money that is just a shuffling of wealth, ie marketwards, preying on peoples desperation (selling runs), and other player to player gil will always be suspect. Not to sound rude but if you get your money through legitimate means, you should have no issues.

All I hear is that crafting and selling items is illegitimate.

That aside, SE can't go seizing houses considering that everything you sell on the marketboard has the potential to be bought with "shaddy" gil. This would result in every single house being seized and alot of ppl unsubscribing to the game and possible games in SE's future. It would be terrible for business.
