FFXI Market Forecasting

Ron = Jesus?

In recent FFXI related news...

We would like to report the termination today of multiple accounts held by
players involved in the usage of third-party tools or cheats, or engaged in RMT
(Real Money Trading) activities.

Based on the results of our investigation, over 3400 PlayOnline accounts
were terminated while over 500 accounts were temporarily suspended.Details of
the violations are as follows:

- Usage of tools that allow enhanced character movement.
Approx. 600 cases

- Usage of tools that circumvent game mechanics with respect to the timing
of ability use, etc. in certain areas or at points where Notorious Monsters
appear.
Approx. 200 cases

-Using cheats to automatically repeat a particular action.
Approx. 2200 cases
*The above number reflects the total number of accounts banned within the
period of a month. This does not include individual cases handled by GMs.

- Accounts from people that were previously confirmed to have RMT
connections, or that had violated the user agreements but re-subscribed to
PlayOnline.
Approx. 900 cases

The termination of these accounts has led to the removal of
approximately 2.8 billion gil from circulation.

What does this mean? Continue to see falling prices. The power of gil should gradually get stronger in the next few months, with items liquidating accross the server. However, be aware, with less GS/bots, we have less buyers of craft consumables and sellers of top-tier items.

Good or bad? Depends on how you see things.
