Do FFXIV Gil Buyers Get Banned

The question is concerned about by almost all FFXIV Gil buyers. It can not be answered simply "yes" or "no", because SE did ban some accounts with large amounts of Gil on Sep. 28, 2013. The ban case has caused a wide range of discussion and got SE into much trouble. However, since then, SE never ban FFXIV Gil buyers in the past three months, in the meantime, SE is irregularly keeping ban of GIL farmers.

Why Buy FFXIV Gil?

Currency is more important in FFXIV than in any other MMORPG. As you know, there is almost no Gil drop, and it is worthless if you sell materials and gear to vendors. Therefore, as an enterprising adventurer, it is necessary to buy Gil if you do not have time to farm materials by yourself. Actually, it is the same as any other MMORPG.

Has Anyone Been Banned for Buying Gil?

I have been playing games since 2000 and selling game currency since 2004, and I have never heard of players’ accounts getting banned because they bought currency. For example, if Blizzard banned gold buyers, most of the players would already have been banned, for there are millions of players who have bought gold; in that case, the game WoW would have died already.

For SE’s other game, FFXI, a player who talked about this ban case said: “I knew a number of people who bought gil in ffxi and never even received a warning about it unless they talked about it openly/bought very large quantities.”

Hundreds and thousands of FFXIV players have bought FFXIV Gil from our site Mmogah.com since the first release of Final Fantasy XIV in 2010, and we have never heard of any one of them getting banned because they bought FFXIV Gil from us. Furthermore, millions of players have bought FFXIV Gil from innumerable other sites and players. If SE bans all of them, you can guess what will happen.

So, I think the reason why SE banned some accounts with a large amount of Gil before is that SE made a false judgement: it mistakenly thought those accounts were farmers.

Conclusion

As stated above, in my opinion, FFXIV Gil buyers won’t get banned.
