Salvage Bans v 2.0

[Suteru]

At least of the recent bans in this thread have been for speedhacking. Pretty consistent, no?

Glad to see more justice is being served. Thank you Square Enix!

I'll ban him too

[Draylo]

I'll ban him too

Would be nice, for both of them lol

[vivbiibasjiu]

Would be nice if you got banned from FFXI... again!

Oh man Vivii is slipping. Usually the self righteous comes out much faster

I thought LM-31 was billing issue. I'm fairly certain I got that error a handful of times on my alt when I used to play.

The e-mail I got specifically mentioned cheating/botting for the reasoning.

Did you not know that fleehacking was a bannable offence? Do you need a drawing making it "more outlined"? Do you need Leonardo Da Vinci to sketch it up for you?

You both should get GED's before posting. Common sense should tell you that my question had nothing to do with wondering why I was even in trouble at all. Of course I should be, I openly admitted to breaking rules. jfc

The questioning comes from how they dole out punishments. Some people get a wrist slap to start, some get a full-tilt perma on first time offenses.

You don't get the "unable to change zones" message by flee hacking at 150. Hell, considering the majority of the flee hacks I have seen still consider 100% speed as the old normal speed, setting it at 125 is actually current normal speed. You shouldn't get the "unable to change zones" unless you are going 300+, at which point, yes, you are begging to be caught and banned.

I think the flag hit from some fuckery involving chocobo's. This happened like over 2 years ago. It'd be understandable if they were looking over player logs from awhile back like I earlier theorized, but who really knows what the hell they are doing for sure.

I deserved to be banned, even though I was doing the lightest amount of cheating in a long considerable amount of time. Just merely saying that they need to be consistent on how they issue them.

Fuckery involving chocobos? What were you doing? Illegal chocobo cock-fighting pits in the back alleys of Jeuno?

Nope, it's been pretty obvious they've been coming down hard on fleehacking/etc. I don't think there's been anyone recently that's gotten a temp ban that hasn't been followed soon after by a perma.

Wait that's illegal?

Just think, back in VII Chocobo Fuckery was encouraged...

Two out of three accounts just got hit with the hammer when I woke up this morning. All three have been running around at 67% plus including salvage but the one that got banned has been used to clip through some walls a couple times. I cheat and I admit the fact but I'm shocked it took this long for them to get me.

[Tidis]

I'm still curious, are they just permabanning now?

Just wondering if I dodged a bullet and got a 72hr when they were in a more forgiving mood, for the record I stopped all the clipper nonsense after the 72hr ban.

[fantasticdan]

How long ago did you get 72hr? I had friends get temped->permaed in succession without even logging into the game in-between.

[Tidis]

It was 3 months ago, the bastards billed me and then banned me the next day.

Friend just got permabanned this morning.
He never got a temp ban before, he clippered through a Boyahda floor yesterday.
He doesn't know if someone saw him and reported him or if there's an autodetect tool running, whatever it is it's seems obvious it's hardly a coincidence that he clippered yesterday.

Once more I think it's save to invite people to caution when it comes to use such tools. I still believe SE has some form of data-detection that's currently being automatized.
It's not perfect, but it has a certain degree of accuracy for sure.


He did use some stuff (nothing big) in the past, but he didn't use anything at all these last months, because he was scared of the continuous volleys of bans. Yesterday was basically the first time in a long time.
Hardly a coincidence. Really smells like something automated to me.

[BerenTebogo]

Why would he use it in the midst of huge banning waves for using clipper?

Like holy fucking Darwinism, Batman

[fantasticdan]

Because the game is basically over and who cares?

[BerenTebogo]

Anyone still paying the monthly fee obviously.

Tired argument is tired.

Please, spare us your cynical comments.
Yes, you're right, he's been pretty stupid.
No, we don't like to be reminded about that.
We lost a dear friend, we're all pretty sad atm.

He probably been so fucking stupid because he felt safe about the fact he never got tempbanned or anything before, so he probably thought "worst that can happen for a small thing like this, I get temp".


Yes, he's been cluelessy dumb.
I just hope this will help other people, share these words among your friends if you care for them...
