RMT Countermeasures o_O

[Stanislav]

with the amount of time put into my char
it aint funny tyhat they even consider it..

[savageboy]

they have already, maybe 100 accounts on shiva from legit old time hk players have been perma banned with no reasons given...ppl with multiple hundred crafts, players from day 1, even a pal from my ls with 8 lvl 75's and a lot more 60's

there is actually a reason but its still pretty unfair

[BRP]

Hmm, you never know if they RMTed or not. It could be possible that they did, and SE isn't just a bunch of fools. However, it can go both ways.

RMT Countermeasures

Since the end of last year, item values have risen astronomically on all Worlds due to the manipulation of prices by a small percentage of the player base. The development team and the GMs carried out a detailed investigation of this problem, and discovered the existence of a group using illicit methods to produce large amounts of gil that are later sold in the real world (Real Money Trading). We would like to take this opportunity to outline the measures that have been taken to correct this issue.

Interesting. De we have a rebuttal?

Square never does anything. Emo, whine, cry. Emo, whine, cry, bitch, moan, complain.

Square did something, but it isn't enough. They let RMT happen to keep me in my black pit of darkest despair.

Sometimes I cut my self to relive the pain. He, he, he, he, toot.

Seriously, what does it fucking take to make people happy? "They didn't ban the gilfarmers." Well, at least they removed 300,000,000,000 gil from the servers to reduce the hella-death inflation. That is approximately 9,375,000,000 gil from each server. Nine billion three hundred seventy five million gil gone forever from your server and my server.

People complain about how much everything costs and when Square tries to fix it, people complain ever more. I am more than happy to point out when Square makes a mistake, this is not one. Yes, they could go further and hopefully they will, but at least they did this.

Now, the 300billion gil question is how many of the people who sit on these and other boards all day complaining about gilfarmers will sell their gil to IGE? I guess the real question is how fast will they sell their gil to IGE?

This is the most important post in this thread[/quote:465f8]

The funny part is that I saw some of my old "friends" who quit this game for another game log on to sell all of their gear so they could RMT the gil.

Wait, no. That's not really "funny", that's more like "back-stabbingly predictable".

[Kuponut]

This new countermeasure is retarded

GM was msging people on my friend list asking if I work for IGE..

Our LS mule is on my account and it has a lot of gil on it.. and I send out gil to people in 10 20 30mil amounts

Wow.. if they start banning people on accident would be retarded.

So um... because of their new "RMT Countermeasures" .... They are banning legit accounts, simply because they have lots of gil on a low level character? Please tell me that something as ridiculous as that is not true.

That's like the worst way of handling it that they could even possibly consider doing.

Yeah, that was a side effect of the "RMT countermeasures" I didn't see coming, but I supposed I should have. Nice to know those people have put a price on friendship, loyalty and integrity. Those are the accounts that need to be banned, too bad its probably already too late.

Guy I know got like 3000usd out of his gil atleast. Can't exactly blame him if he's quitting anyways.

Nicer if it was given away to people ingame to stop the RMT, but ah well, money is money I guess

I wonder if that is why on Midgardsormr, Scorpion Harness dropped from 16 million gil, to 12 million gil in two transactions, and that Verm. Cloak dropped to 15 mil, and still had 11 on AH (last I checked).

Sadly, I am a cynic, because that is what the world made me. A cynic is an optimist whose rose-colored glasses were snatched away, thrown to the ground, and stomped into the dirt immediately improving his/her vision. One of my mottos is: "Always expect the worst from people and you will never be disappointed." I have to admit that deep down I did not want to believe that people that I used to consider friends would sell gil.

I guess it is amusing, how much some people used to hate Longlyboy and the other gil sellers have become the same exact thing.

(And yeah, I am desperately trying to shame some people out of RMTing so I can keep some respect for them.)
