So! SE suspended 2000 accounts...

[SupHammer]

I fishbot daily, constantly run at +7% speed, pos assaults, I've been to Halvung testing grounds and that undersea place... in fact i use every hack but a vokebot. My account is still up and running. I haven't been on this week much, and I wasn't on last night at all. I can assure you they haven't been "collecting evidence for the last month" as previously suggested.

I bet they just told 20 GMs that if they found 100 hackers they would get a cookie.

So far my theory is working out. Those that were banned and claimed to be ONLY using windower are running in a windowed mode that is different from the resolution on their desktop.

My res was different

Your sig is fucking disgusting and your name is already 1.5 inches to the left...

[Dank]

My resolutions were all different, and no ban here.

[Raineer]

looks like a ban to me.

Yes, that's a ban. Basically, it's gone. You can hope they'll reconsider, but ultimately it's gone for good. In this case, nows the time pay for your son's college RMT'ing all the gear you have muled

8)

I know a lot of that could be just out of spite and/or greed, but it just seems retarded to contribute right back to what caused your ban to begin with. Yeah, RMT =/= hacks, but they tend to go hand in hand. Please dude, don't be Berticus.

RMT doesn't have anything to do with this really, if they really wanted to get rid of RMT they'd fucking police sky for an hour every day. 500,000 accounts x $12.95 + mules is a fuckton of money to not be able to put 1 to 2 human beings solely in charge of just wandering around sky on one server a day for a couple weeks and seeing just what the hell goes on.

As a poster eluded to above, I'm happy for this...lets me go play wow guilt-free hehe

[Norelco]

FFXI Reso: 1024x768
Windower Reso: 1024x768

And I'm completely fine.

Also, I'd like to point out that they think using movement enchancing tools ENCOURAGES RMT. Uhh... how? Fucking retards.

They took a page from good ol President Bush on that one

My ffxi resolution is 1024x768 with a desktop of 1280x1024.. not banned.

Movement enhancing tools are used by RMT to get around sky, to do ENM, and to kite while manaburning stuff.

People want SE to fight RMT.. they are hitting gilsellers hard in two ways this month.. you people should be happy.

3 ways actually. They're going after the RMT choco digging jerks as well with the upcoming digging changes.

[Khamsin]

Have any of you that did get banned ever had a GM call against you (or, if no GM has ever talked to you, do you think its possible someone might have attempted to call a GM on you before)?

I lol'ed

[Matricide]

the only consistency with the bannings/suspensions is inconsistency.

[ertyu]

I didnt read the entire thread cause its too many pages but Kujata seems ok.. only one person got suspended from my LS who was probably speed hacking, but what seems to have the biggest hit is the gil sellers. I dont see a single one of them on I like this so far

edit: and my res is different from my background

[MisterBob]

Gil sellers just returned to Ulli's Aery on Fenrir.

So far my theory is working out. Those that were banned and claimed to be ONLY using windower are running in a windowed mode that is different from the resolution on their desktop.

I never stated what my desktop reso was... only FFXI and Windower.

I think you're confused what is meant by FFXI resolution.

FFXI actually has 2 resolutions. 1 is called the "overlay" resolution which determines the size of your chat window, game menus, etc.

The 2nd is the background resoltuion. This determines how nice or shitty your game looks (characters, terrain, etc). This Resolution doesn't mean jack squat for anything except whether your video card can handle it.

I think the problem is that there's 3 resolutions involved.

1. Windows Resolution - right click desktop, choose properties.
2. Windower Resolution - see Windower.ini
3. FFXI Resolution - see Overlay Resolution in FFXI Config (or read from registry)

Can all 3 of these be different? I know they can all be the same (mine are) but what happens if 2 is different from 3? You get a high-res overlay in a smaller-res window?

[Taj]

Just confirming that they're not suspending people for using Windower. If you got suspended, either admit you were Speed/Movement hacking or shut the fuck up because nobody cares.

[Cephius]

I'm surpirsed no one pointed out that rahskala's view into the future was more accurate than we thought, even if it was only a few days and not a year:

[Carnelia]

Pandemonium Sky RMT have all gone MIA....and a simple /sea all bas rank 6 turns up almost entirely legitimate players.

I guess lets hope they got banned and it's not some dumb gilseller vacation day or something.

[Gulkeeva]

I think about 80% of the ffxi community uses windower most likely that are on a PC.

2000 outa what like 30 servers isn't to many. Maybe its for something else they did...?

Oh and most all the RMT on ym server incluidng the new 20-30 person army of army at korrecle tunnel are alive and well, also the blm and smn alliances.

[Raineer]

loooooooooooooooooool

This was posted on our server forums:

Thought you guys might like to know this:

people who got (LM-17) message are temp banned

People who got (LM-11) are perma banned, no comming back for you.

This info was given by a GM (^_^)

So I go back and check, now I'm temp-banned (my login message is also changed to temp ban instead of GTFOCLOSED)

Yes, I know lol. =\

1. Not 1024x768
2. 1024x768
3. 1024x768

[Abbadon]

I play constantly between Strider/Mazurka run-speeds using FleeTool for the last three weeks or so. I use windower, and the PC/NPC.exe tools help me track exact spawn times for when I mine.
I've never placed a GM call before, or spoken to one.
My accounts are just fine. My roomate, who uses ONLY windower, was suspended.
