That is what the development team said two months ago, right after Square Enix announced the upcoming release of Final Fantasy XI Gil. Although the news was embraced across the MMO universe, many FFXI players voiced concern over how this would affect their game. The development team reacted quickly, saying they already had a years worth of updates all planned out, and that they had no intention of stopping after that.

In the weeks following the announcement -- a time when Square Enix should have been reassuring its FFXI GIL fanbase -- scores of players were suddenly banned from Vanadiel. They temporarily banned droves of players for selling gardened goods to NPCs. Then they started banning people who did so little as to change their billing information. Then, with their playerbase already in frenzy about Ffxi Gil, they changed their longtime billing rules with less than one day of notice.

Whether they are trying to crush RMT or simply trying to make accounts more secure, the folks at Square Enix have dealt some serious collateral damage to their fans through this wave of hastily implemented security measures about Ffxi Gil.

Many of these players were reinstated, but Square Enix never gave an official explanation as to why the bannings took place. Through conversation on various forums, players began to realize that most that had been banned had gardening mules on their accounts. Players suspect the bannings were an unintended result of Square Enixs patented "RMT-PWNER," an automated program designed to punish and ban RMT. Meanwhile, in Japan, a player can stroll into any number of convenience stores and throw down a little cash for electronic "Web Money" to fuel their account about Ffxi Gil. There is no signature or ID required; you can buy it like any old bag of squid-flavored chips.
