Then you have not looked closely enough. They are typically a new forum user (made this year) and have a character with all crafters/gatherers leveled and 1 job leveled to 90. They are in a Free Company and are the only person in it, slowly ranking it up and often use the same second name as their main, although not always. Their character appearance is often the same or similar to their main, although not always.

If you don't know why someone would do this, let's just say they could make a lot of gil that way and work out the rest from there.

The accounts with the traits I described tend to make half the topics in this forum (and have for a very long time). Just SE banned a whole lot of them the other day as well as some of their new ones they tried to use in their place.
