This is true. It's against the rules. Maybe he shouldn't be allowed to come back. However, maybe if SE had started enforcing that long ago a lot of people wouldn't have sold their accounts. This is just speculation as I hadn't thought of that angle before. However, I bet if SE was enforcing this the amount of accounts available on the market would decrease. As I said, I am against selling and especially buying accounts but, given this guys circumstances, I can understand why he did such. And he admitted to it which is also a decent thing of him to do. Unfortunately in a game as big as Final Fantasy, or within a company the size of SE you cannot begin making exceptions for some people based on their reason for taking part in a prohibited act, however, if I had to pass judgement here, I'd say his behavior was selfish, but excusable only due to the severity of his conflict. Of course under any other circumstances, i.e, wanted more spending money, etc. I would frown upon this act much more. This however, simply deserves a slap on the wrist and some disaproving words.
