SE Banning players with large amounts of gil?

[Lissandra]

Okay, the title of this thread gave me a scare so I immediately went to try and log in. All is fine for me. I have more than 1 million, but this was accumulated in 1.0, and I have not done anything shady.

Your friend was buying gil. These lies pop up every time there is a ban wave from the so-called innocent but it is always people that know damn well they cheated in some way. Should permanent ban the suspected account and this guy defending him both. RMT and bots are out of control good job SE lets get some more bans going.

Problem is innocent people do get caught in the net by unknowingly selling items to people who bought gil. Thats where the frustration is coming from, not the people pretending to be innocent. But its a sad fact that its hard to tell the two apart unless SE investigates the accounts, which does lead to some people being suspended.

I made about 300k this morning just assimilating materia, it's not hard to make gil...

[Alhanelem]

I don't think there's any truth to this. SE is smart enough to know that having gil doesn't make you an RMT. Trading large amounts of gil for nothing in return though, can be suspect. They use a system to track where gil is being sent around and stuff (they called it RMTPWN3R 2.0 in FFXI or something like that) in order to identify who is likely RMT.

Kinda suspicious how they start banning after Legacy players subscribe for 3 months to get the floating mount...

I agree let's start with YOUR account; you are a level 50 Alchemist, Goldsmith, AND Weaver, you probably sell items on the market board probably for a profit. PROVE that you didn't cheat or bot in some way, PROVE that you didn't sell to an RMT or a gil buyer. Now do you see the problem or do I have to simplify it further? Oh and by the way you can call back in 3-7 days during normal business days/hours wait on hold for over 2 hours only to be told that customer service can't/won't do anything about it.

Sound fun?

Oh my mistake I checked your character again, apparently you have ALL the crafting classes @ 50

Also one of my best friends got banned for having ~400K gil he earned this after busting his tail gathering and crafting for hours each day in order to afford his relic weapon and the FC and Player housing when that comes out. So I ask all of you is this an acceptable solution?

[Selyndria]

I have about 500k and it's all from crafting and farming. 1,000,000 gil is probably only a wee away for me. If they ban people with over a million then I guess they will be wiping out a lot of ppl.

It seems from initial reports that the magic numbers are

• >8m for August non-legacy servers
• >2m for servers released September 12th or Sepember 4th.

I'm quoting this because people later in the thread seem to have not read it. So, here it is a second time!

[Reika]

Actually I think it is on people with well over 1mil gil on new servers. They know legacy server people came over with shit tons of gil, unless someone knows some legacy server people that got suspended?

[Aphraell]

In every MMO I've played there will always be people who know how to "play" the Markets through buying and selling low/high, crafting or who know how to monopolise a specific market. I've been one of those people.

Now I'm being banned(temporally) because I'm good at it?

When my account is restored, once investigated, I want a new minion "RMT Ouija Doll"
