I have been thinking a lot lately about how gil sellers operate. Some *** hack into people's accounts. Others utilize fishing bots or mining bots. Some simply use bot farmers. I know SE does more than any other MMO company out there to ban these people and impliment measures to hinder their progress, but it still doesn't add up. Wouldn't they be able to impliment code that would regularly yet randomly scan for bot code and auto-ban all accounts that use them, making bots extinct? Couldn't they do more to prevent the BroGame /tell adverts?
Then it hit me. It dawned on me like a nice cup of Folger's coffee...the best part of waking up you know. What if the companies that do this gil selling crap and SE are one and the same? Think about it. SE gets people to buy the game and pay monthly subscriptions (two sources of revenue). Then some people buy gil from them (another source of revenue). Then they ban their accounts for using "third party software" and probably take the gil back before deleting the character. The whole thing is a cycle that perpetually puts money in the hands of SE. Those who are too honest (like me) to engage in gil buying my find their accounts haXx0red by a "third party".
I say conspiracy of epic proportions! What say you?

Old theory. I remember rumors of this years ago. SE can just make gil for one. So the only purpose of using a gilselling group is so that they dont have deal with anything but a random paycheck from them ie deniability. And the only way to be able to scan for any non HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE bot would be to scan the persons computer. Which is just slightly illegal. Oh and the best part of waking up is going back to bed

This exactly.
I always figure it was a few of the SE staff taking advantage of it and making an extra buck...this will be my opinion sticking to it. Damn it, give us some gils bro!!! arrggg..

RMT = negative publicity. No company wants that when they are trying to sell their products
SE doesn't sell gil ... but they will make you pay 10$ for a body piece. :/

Regardless of how hard they are to get, you can get some extremely sweet gear from the ACP keys.

SE just sells useless jewlery, a plastic number generator for sweet in game bonuses. It's too late to sell their own currency since that'd leave everyone slighted for all the years they already progressed without resorting to RMT.

Na, I <3 conspiracy theories ;) The actualities of the situation should be existing though.
As Barti said, if SE wanted to sell gil, they would market it themselves. Why pay hundreds of chinese people $2 an hour to farm gil 24-7 when they already have literally a limitless supply of it? Especially with the risks involved in associating with something that they are cleary opposed to. It would be catastrophic if it ever got leaked out.
And seriously, about the selling gil to people then banning their account to get the gil back? Me thinks that a years worth of let's just say $13.95 a month would make them more money than the $40 (example, not sure how much gil is, and depends on the amount they have) they would get out of the gil they get back. Just my .02 cents

Itd be HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE to be the same company whoever getting paychecks from said gilsellers is a fairly effective way to wash your hands of the dirty parts of it
SE is not doubt in my mind working with the rmt. first of all with the free trial they could make it so you cant send tells to anyone enless they send you one first. as for what Oric said they wouldnt make their own gil becuase that would mess with the ecnomeys and if everyone if buying 1mil then gil would be worthless so paying jp to farm is a better way. as for the deleteing of chars that is just to keep the amount of gil and a stable amount

There are fun conspiracies and there are these kind. If you can't figure out why this is so stupid, then you have 0 concept of business and either need to educate yourself or stab yourself in the throat with an ice pick.

Quite simply, keeping everyone happy and playing for as long as possible while paying their monthly fees and introducing tasty new gear or appealing in game bonuses from purchasable items is far more profitable than shady RMT business will ever be.

He's referring to the shitty expansion with next to 0 content that people will only buy now because they want the body piece you get at the end of the missions. That and the mog satchel are how SE gets away with their own RMT operation. The only people that actually need the security token for security reasons are the people who have to call tech support to find the power button on a computer and wonder if they can eat the mog satchel.
In an unrelated note, the next mini expansion will cost $100 and the final mission reward will be an augmentable weapon that will allow you to augment "Occasionally attacks 2 to 8 times." It will have 3 missions, 2 of which are cutscenes.
If you think about it, SE makes good money off gilsellers. Each time they ban the seller, the seller has to purchase another copy of their game for registration codes. If the gilseller operates in any expansion areas, they have to buy a copy of that, too, each time they're banned. Gilsellers probably account for a great deal of SE's physical product revenue. It's in their interest to hunt these *** down quickly. :D

No.
First of all your an idiot.
Secondly, you don't understand the concept of FREE TRIAL.
