54 accounts that engaged in illicit activities have been given a temporary ban, and 12 accounts have been permanently banned.


I dont think this is anything to worry about. i bet the 54 temp bans where people TPing in turn 6-9. the 12 perma where probably ones that got temp banned the first time around. 54 accounts is nothing.. i have 32 accounts my self lol and none touched. no need to be up in arms here. lol

Wow 32 accounts? Care to share how you do or is it just a bottomless hole money wise?

Wow 32 accounts? Care to share how you do or is it just a bottomless hole money wise?

Just think about it a minute.

4 Accounts runs Wanderer's Palace 24 hours a day 7 days a week with an average of 20k gil per hour per character (or more I think his was 28k per hour?).

Thats millions of gils per week for 4 accounts

Now what do you do with such a fountain of gil?
You sell it to Gil sellers.

Gil Sellers need supplies of Gil and they dont do it all by themselves.
You get paid for the gil you sell them, which they then sell at a profit.

Do that, Times 8 (32 accounts) and you can be sure your accounts, bot subscriptions and whatever computer upgrades were needed - are all paid for and probably with extras in his case.

I'm just starting but I'm not planning on selling the gil, just make my own to supply myself so I'm not going all out to have 32 accounts.

Start with 4 and go from there, see how the experience goes and maybe eventually enlarge the operation.

It does say it will last a MINIMUM of 72 hours.

[ben773]

Two users banned here, on my account I didn't teleport on hunts, did duty runs for novus though.
My friends account was used to teleport on hunts, however they didn't do novus or duties.

[random73]

What do you mean duty runs for novus ?

[ben773]

Lost city runs, however party makeup was correct and tbh that was quite a while ago now in comparison to my friends use of teleport in hunts (not obvious ones either, always away from players, in safe parties).

We never used in game chat to communicate, always voice chat.

[random73]

were your account banned before ? That's one reason I can think of. If your group were banned before, their tp hunt might have dragged your character down with them.

[ben773]

Yeah I originally got suspended for second coil, my own fault obviously, however I can't pin point the cause for a permanent ban. I took part in hunts normally, and tbh in the last month I haven't really used minion much at all, except to maybe assist mode.

My friend has received the 72 hour min ban, and I have a permanent ban, even though I technically did less haha :)

[random73]

SE probably just bin you all together since you were caught last time together. They probably just assume you all tp in coil, now you all tp in hunt together.

You should try hard to appeal your ban.
