An Official Notice is NEEDED - why did SE suspend those with high ammounts of Gil.

[scarebearz]

And all the RMT will do is charge more, make the same profit, and continue on as usual.

Yeah exactly, they can just keep hacking more and more accounts it seems, so it wont affect them in the slightest.

Meanwhile lots of genuine players are locked out of the game.

I don't know how this is 'OK' for Square to do this to their customers. Their support is lazy, disables account without proper causes, and doesn't inform the victims as to why they were disabled. I smell a class action law suit coming soon.

The real question is, did your crafts BUY MATS off the market? The Webbing Ban (net ban, carpet bans, etc) seems to stim from banning those "helping botters get gil"

Example: Botter farms up 30K lightning shards. Player1 who is Level 50 in 3 "attack classes" decides to take up Weaving, needing A TON of lightning shards, being "rich" Player1 buys Lightning shards from Botter, unknowingly, thus giving the bot Gil - to sell for real money in their giant scheme.

Unknowingly to Player1 - who just wanted to work his craft up in the first place - and then BAM - banned, because the system detected you as getting Gil to Gil Sellers.


Least that's the way things SEEM to be going.. might be completely coincidental though. Iam a crafter (all crafts, all harvests) and I have yet to be suspended. I deal in high volume of everything, but never buy goods from "obviously untrusted sources"

Granted I have less then 500K - but still, makes you wonder.

I don't buy anything from market except some HQ rare mats for quest (like a HQ bat fang or something like that and I only buy 1)

Once I hit lvl 50 GSM and started making gil from crafting, I stopped mining (at lvl 42 miner) and bought nearly all my mats off the market. Shards/Ores/Fleece/Tomb Mats etc etc.

[Freyar]

I'll.. make sure to shed some gil before I approach anything above 750k.

They already announced anyone with 8MIL GIL or higher would be banned for 72 hours until proven otherwise that they are NOT a Gil seller.

It was announced 2 weeks ago and at PAX

[scarebearz]

I've never seen this announcement, could you provide a link please?

Because announcing it to PAX is the best way to reach your audience. YUP! Not Twitter, Not Facebook, not the lodestone, not the forums, not the launcher.
