Salvage Bans v 2.0

[dasva]

SE isn't banning anyone with their severe lack of FFXI subs..

Oh they will my ban over something that didn't even happen makes that apparent with no warning or 3day first makes that clear. They just wont do mass bannings. Plus I think half the reason they decided to change there mind and say they would rollback and give me the account back was the threat of losing my other accounts too

[NynJa]

I'm still surprised that people don't care that there are hacked afterglows/billions of gil in items in circulation but they do care about a salvage bug oh well I give up

Its not just the salvage shit, its every massive exploit, that according to you, the whole "ffxi black market" knows about, and SE does nothing, and just hopes it stays swept under the rug so they dont have to ban a couple accounts or patch the damn shit.

[D44kpunk]

wasn't the whole FFXI market, not to "name drop" but just cair/bryth/mafai/a few others. either way it fucked the economy pretty hard over the last couple months

edit: bryth didn't do it, just knew of it
edit2: its patched now to clarify

[Darkmagi]

Was this the changing the npc resale value thing? I heard from sources that someone made over $100k from said exploit.

[D44kpunk]

It was a buffer overflow. Essentially they could pull any reward item from certain zones by completing an unrelated quest in the same zone. Think after glow bonanza moogles etc. I didn't do it personally but this is how it was described to me. The same people putting their ichor into negative and infinitely npcing rubber harnesses all this stuff is why ffxi economy is broken right now. most of the sellable items came from the sparks npc

[vagus]

Do FFXI accounts still sell? With these banning a curious if people are selling them.

[Brill Weave]

I've reported everyone here who has blatantly admitted to cheating to the Special Task Force. You're the reason this game is dying. Enjoy your bans

I will be thoroughly disappointed if this is the only post this guy makes.

guess that explains the 15 odd mythics in cair's pic from the completed relic/mythic thread then. cool from a "let's see how much we can break the game" perspective i guess, but man would that kill any incentive to continue playing.

[Altnob]

While I don't condone cheating in FFXI all of this is rather interesting. Afterglows being created by players, infinite dynamis and respawning Salvage II bosses over and over. I wonder what else is out there.

I'm innocent

Resale price isn't changable (that I know of) but a markup is possible, and will get you banned. A former dev had this happen and I think this is what made him quit.

Im more disappointed that starcade doesnt have any rantings about this. I miss them.

I figured that was from cruor bot gil capping, plus maybe the ASE assault thingy or whatever it was that let you just click the post to get completion. Ugh lol

FFXI is dying because FFXIV is a thing now, not because of people cheating a BS system. Alex should be easy as fuck to obtain in 2014, lol. Niggas still on that alexandrite grind doe, much respect. Such a broken waste of time.

Well now you've gone and done summoned him.

dis nigga Sho...

(not specifically in reply to you, kyte)
exploit's an exploit's an exploit. effectively it just proves one thing:

these things happen all the time and will continue to happen. just need to deal with it or stop playing if it bothers you so much. there'll never be a time at this stage in XI's life where using third party "assistance" or loopholes in the system won't give someone a clearcut advantage; you either find them and take advantage of them yourself, or "revel" in your "legitimacy" for having done it your way without any cheats. I'm sure there's a divide in the playerbase between who cares about which one and who doesn't, but that type of polarization is just human nature. personally find myself in camp B since I don't see any point in achieving a long term goal like a mythic without actually putting in the effort, but I can see why others would prefer camp A.

So the thread on the official forums has made one thing clear. Pchan is still a bat shit stupid person.

Didn't you buy your account? I saw the username Altnob recently on rmt forums. lol

[bechyni]

Yeah he did

Judging by the posts/threads he's made, it seems hard to believe he didnt buy his account.

I think it will be in the back of peoples minds that this may have screwed them over. Players say cost for X is too high, but the people cheating inflate the numbers so it doesn't look as bad as it may be. Even though SE has said that they wouldn't reduce the amount of items needed for stuff, there is always the part will wonder if they would have if everything was done legit.
