I myself have never bought nor sold gil, so I qualify under this prerequisite of yours.
You know what? While the MPKing that's going on is really, REALLY wrong, it's not even the worst of it.
The worst part?
SE IS DOING NOTHING TO THESE PEOPLE.
In one of the other threads concerning the actions of the Flying/Huixiang LS, there was a chatlog posted by Moreana. I happen to know Moreana, and would feel secure in betting money that the log was displayed without transformation.
(Note: For the sake of argument and simplicity, I'm just going to assume the chatlog mentioned was indeed 100% correct. I understand that others might not assume the same, so keep this in mind when you read the following.)
If you read the chatlog of the first MPK on Simurgh, you'll see that a GM was -already- watching. So we KNOW that the GMs are well aware of what is happening. Granted, the players' conduct in speaking to the GM may have been out of line, but the fact of the matter is, the GM didn't show even so much as an acknowledgment that the MPK even happened. What was he(she?) worried about?
Aww. The pwayers hurt da widdle GM's feewings.
That's like a cop standing there watching a robbery, and refusing to do anything because the guy behind the counter, the one WITH THE GUN POINTED AT HIS HEAD, said, "Come on, god dammit, aren't you going to help me?" to him.
I don't know about any of you guys, but I am becoming severely disenchanted with the actions of SE and the GMs that they employ... really fast. While probably not the best thing to shout at the time, one of the MPK'd players was shouting about how GMs claim to be fair, yet won't do their goddamned job.
Aside from their lack of grammar, I couldn't have said it better myself.
All I have to say is, Square Enix - you need to get your **** straight, FAST. I have three accounts myself (one for me, one for my brother, and one I took over as a mule account when one of my friends quit, before you people start saying "account buyer" and crap like that). I enjoy the game, I've put countless hours into building levels and relationships and helping my friends out... but I refuse to be a part of something that treats its customers like giant walking dollars with keyboards.
Get your act together, or I can guarantee the removal of at least four accounts (not to mention the hundreds of others that I'm sure they'll lose soon), which will end up costing you $67.80 a month. Sure, it's chump change to you... but multiply that by more and more people leaving in disgust.
Not so pretty now, is it?
/rant off
Sigh... I'm just sick and tired of how SE claims to do things to help us, and then when in the very face of conflict, seems to sit back and do nothing.
On top of this, I'm actually considering boycotting -all- SE products. I know it sounds extreme, but that's how utterly ridiculous I think this is.
To those of you who have read all the way down to here, congratulations and thank you for your time. I would be glad to discuss things with you.
To those of you who read six lines of my post and are going to quote me and whine over what little you read, get bent.
Ah, don't you just love nice people? XD
