Square-Enix Bans Players for Gardening in FFXI

Yeah I've played on and off since 2004, and I've seen the prices of items fluctuate directly as a result of the gil seller vs the GM moderating activity. More gil selling, prices go up, more GM activity prices crash. I'm guessing this is due to the gil sellers that specialize in crafting, that they want to get their craft of specialty up to maximum level as soon as possible so they are willing to buy materials at the auction house for more, which creates a supply-and-demand bottleneck.xmetatr0nx said:
(For example; I remember when I was starting out clothcrafting in 2004 and how hard it was to get cotton to level on (I did not know a the time about harvesting or taking it from mandragoras with a thief job). It would be so frusterating as a level 30 white mage to get through the level stage where cotton was required, so buying cotton was very expensive.)
But it seems surprizing to me that they don't have a tagging system in place with the automated system that can trace the origins of gold. It shouldn't be too hard to notice that gold is coming from the sale of ore grown by a character attached to the same account. Strange.
That would nEVEr happen would it? BRB gotta go set my training skills. Now all I have to do is remember to log on Saturday and update my training.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Yeah lots of people are doing their thesis/dissertations on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_economyxmetatr0nx said:
Nah, I doubt they'd EVEr get that idea. You'd have to have a player run economy for a start.Delmar Wynn said:
You guys need to let this Skynet thing go. Machines are our freinds. They're not going to rise up and overthrow humanity then render them into protien soup to feed their organic batteries.

Square Enix does NOT have a process in place where these regular players who were falsely accused of RMT can protest their banning and get their accounts back. If they are able to get through to customer service and the customer service person allows them to talk to a manager they might get to send off a message, but then they will be told to wait maybe SE will get back to them maybe not. It took upwards of three months for some players to get their accounts back after they were hacked and that was with SE admitting the accounts were hacked and needed to be returned.
There has been no acknowledgment from SE about the recent bannings and none of the people that have been banned are reporting any contact from SE.

You can see here, where player testing shows how dumb their auto STF truly is. http://www.bluegartrls.com/forum/78095-warning-proud-beard.html
