Let us trade more then 1 million gil at one time.

[Puresin]

It's kinda ridiculous that we can't trade more than 1 million gil at a time.

Most things now cost well over 1 million gil and someone is taking a risk by trading several million gil to a stranger before getting the item. The alternative is the crafter trades the item after the first trade and risks not getting the remainder of the gil.

I think a limit of 10 or 20 million per trade is more reasonable.

This limit was put in place partially to mitigate the amount of money that RMTs could exchange without having to go through the process several times. There are other reasons as well, but this is the most prominent reason among them.

I know why the limit was put in place. It has done nothing to stop RMT. Now, due to inflation, the 1 million limit is an archaic design. It needs to be increased to keep up with inflation. 1 million was okay back when people barely had that. Now most people have several million gil and 1 million gil is not a reasonable limit.

Also trading massive amounts of gil can send suspicions to your character as an rmt gil seller. SE has issues with that stuff and players get banned for no reason because of stuff like that.

I have traded massive amounts of gil to my wife who then in turn gave it to my alt for a guild house. I would like to know who else has been banned by doing a legitimate exchange such as myself.

Wait getting banned for this is a thing! I'll be moving my main to a new server in teh coming days and because i can't take my gil with me, and I can't find a single thing that isn't cheaper on the server I'm moving to, I was going to get a friend to help me transfer my gil to my alt that is remaining on Sarg.

I could end up getting banned for this ?

I can't really say for certain on that, but I have heard rumors and stories of some players being flagged when they move around/obtain a lot of gil in a short amount of time.

I wouldn't worry too much. I've traded large sums of gil around my Free Company and Square had me change my password before logging in shortly thereafter (I assume as a built in safeguard in case your account was hacked), but a password change was the end of it. Businesses, as a general rule, want to make money and a ban effectively ends the money making, so its unlikely they will ban someone without proper cause.

Most RMT stories I've heard about (from buyers, mind you) involved getting the money by overpricing an item on the marketboards. Because nothing is preventing you from charging some millions for an item noone want anyway, and nothing is preventing you from buying that overpriced useless item either.


The 1m gil limit is just useless.

[AskaRay]

Why are you trading more than that without the marketboard...
