Banned For Too Much Gil Flow

SE still refuse to Ban me for the good sake of Asura. /sigh

im sure if you ask them nicely..

I don't know why they ban RMT. That's like $12.95 x 2500 per month that they could be getting, and the rest of us don't care.

the 1% out there cares, and the 99% is too busy getting trolled by Tanaka because He care about the 1%.

it used to matter big time years ago, but yeah now not so much.

It's not 12.95. It's actually 0.00. Most RMT use the free trials.

then how does banning them work if the investigation is supposed to be 90 days?

again not true. You cant trade, send tells, hold more than 100k, access expansion areas or buy from bazaars on trial accounts

surprised RMT farms havent tried to take over cruor camps 24/7. 18 toons, getting 150k cruor/hr on the low end. 24/7 over the course of one month is ~4.5 billion gil. earned legitimately.

sounds like you have some experience with this

Oh they changed that then. Or maybe not, lol. I'm going mostly by heresy.

They have lol I've seen it

BURN THEM! BURN THEM!

SHES A WITCH!

Didn't they stop offering trial accounts?

Aye you used to be able to, but when they started abusing them to send gilselling tells 24/7 they got rid of free trial and when they brought them back they were all restricted n stuffs

Technically Casino's run by players are not part of the game content so they are just doing their job. If you got 18mil irl and no paper trail the FBI would be on your *** so I dnt see how tis any different. It is extreme and they should have investigated it but it is what it is.

Should I calm down on the chocobo blinkers >.>??

Back what, idk 2.5 years ago my old Dynamis ls leader got the ban hammer for alledged RMT. But "he said" and I haven't ever had a reason to doubt him before, that the only thing he can think of that got him flagged/banned would have been Gil transfer between different mule accounts that were all billed on his same credit card. And possibly giving officers the Gil to purchase hour glasses for runs he could not be present for.

Fast forward to today when people have 18 accounts in Abyssea crour farming for weeks at a time and funneling HUGE amounts of Gil to one or two main accounts and don't get banned. There's really no real way to know if people are telling the truth about what they actually did and what they were accused of when they got banned. It would take an actual insider to give the exact details of what happens in an "investigation" and how some get "flagged" and others don't. I just know I don't take any chances myself. Any time I have over 500k transfer between me and anyone else I ALWAYS tell in some form of chat where the Gil came from and what it is I am purchasing. That way I at least know that if I am being monitored there is a logical explanation for what I am doing. This may not be worth a hill of beans in an "investigation" but it gives me peace of mind.

To the OP, I can see why they would single out your account due to the large amounts of people you come into contact with, transferring so many different amounts of Gil between different accounts. Casinos may be fun and very profitable but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why you would get banned. The Gil police and third party police have always been blood thirsty. There's no reason to think otherwise for Casinos.

I doubt it. Unless, of course, you're selling the proceeds for real money...

You probabbly got banned for something else, i know people that have more than 500millions and nothing... Know someone that makes 10-30 millions selling leech spot everyday all day and nothing... You probabbly did something else.

lol MARIO MONTI WORKS FOR SQUARE ENIX....this world really sux...never in a game u cant spent money without getting controlled couse government want all for his ????? stuff steal all what honest men do every day doing his own works...bah i think this month ill give up my both chars so SE will never get my money...
gj SE really

What is this casino you speak of? I wish to acquire 18m from it.

Maybe trading large amounts of gil (and no items or anything) back and forth with a Lv1 with no gear shouting in Jeuno for hours raised some flags?

The OP had to have done something aside from just operating a Casino. I know someone personally that ran a Casino in Wg for over a year, 4 days/week. He's bored with it now, but built a relic with the earnings and had enough left to build another to stage 5.
It all boils down to the investigation following being flagged. SE flags thousands of accounts each month. Thousands. It's the investigation that follows that determines if you're violating the ToS.

dam didn't think 3,000+ people would even look at this post let alone comment...
point taken im an average game player and dont sell gil for real money i have a real job...
but just letting people know ive played the game 5 years plus and havn't done anything different in those 5 years besides playing the casino last week which i regret now

just letting people know that ^ and becareful

and above post it wasn't something else that i did

Yeah here on Cerb theres this one character that's been spamming FC parties for the past month, charging people to leech but only giving them a fraction of what they paid for. Then from what I've seen transfering gil through the AH to other accounts, most of them having such random names.
