RMT in FFXIV

[lotrodude]

I have read on these forums that several have been banned for Real Money Trading in FFXIV. I also noticed that there are plenty of people selling gil. I get spammed all day long from people wanting to sell gil. So, since I like dealing in online currency (just as a hobby - not a business) I decided to find out how they do it without getting their accounts banned. So, I purchased 3-5 million gil from 5 different sellers on my bot account just to see how they do it. All of them, without exception, mailed the gil through the ingame mailbox in increments of 1 million gil at a time. They send me a friend request, I accept, and they mail the gil. I have done this 5 different times over the past few weeks, and I have not received a single notice from SOE.

Wait for the next blanket ban. You'll know more then.

No problem. If I was afraid of losing the account, then I wouldn't be botting. What is the sense in making millions of gil if you never take the risk of selling some of it?

Whats the sense of making millions and time if you are going to take a major risk for likely less than you paid for the account?
