On the Market board sales history logs I occasionally see items for millions of gil, for something that rarely sells or is even priced above a few thousand. A specific example, without naming the item, is a purchase history showing one transaction for an item that rarely sells for more than 5,000 gil, having been purchased for over 33 million gil.
To me, that reeks of the possibility that RMT-related gil is being laundered. I've been reporting the most extreme instances showing millions of gil trading hands. It's so blatant that I'm not sure if there are legitimate reasons for seeing transactions of this type. Perhaps it's the only way to move gil between two toons on the same account? Since I only have one toon, I've never tried to use in-game mail for that purpose, and don't even know if it's possible to do so.
If there are legitimate reasons for this type of Market activity, I'll quit reporting it. After all, Square-Enix certainly has the tools to scan and detect that type of pricing disparity without having to rely on incidental player reports.
Continue reporting, or not? Thanks in advance!
