It could very well be that enough people have complained about lost gil over these sort of transactions and SE decided to cover themselves in the event that someone decides that they are partly liable due to it happening within the game.(02-13-2015, 05:42 PM)Warren Castille Wrote: Just for the record: I've paid plenty of artists here who just... stopped posting.

I don't want to turn it into a witch hunt or make accusations, but paying someone and having them vanish isn't new. It won't change if things are arranged in PM.
Another reason why I dont have confidence in  offering commissions because it's likely that I'll break promises that I can't keep due to IRL times.
