Action Taken Against Third-Party Tool Users (Sep. 26)

[grunion]

Basically as soon as he picked up the phone he had an annoyed and dickhead-ish tone.

when i called about my account, the person i talked to was easily the rudest customer service person i've talked to in my entire life.
CS: All decisions are final.
grunion: but you could have made a mistake
CS: WE NEVER MAKE MISTAKES! (yelled in a really angry way)
grunion: that's a first in human history. congrats
yeah he was a real jerk. it was so bad it was kind of amazing.

Way to loose player base.

lol, it's lose, not loose. i guess you cut english class to skill up parry?

[Vannis]

Does the temp suspension stop at JP midnight ... or NA?

[Charitwo]

Everything is centered around JP midnight

ninja edit: i.e. 8 A.M PST

[Vannis]

wooot im back in, midnight PST ftw!

[McTaru]

I got suspended but is it safe to use windower? and i mean just windower not the whole tools/exploits etc..

[Dank]

My friend and I both got suspended and are both back on with windower. I guess we will see if it is safe.

[McTaru]

ffxi sux without windower.. but isnt one time suspension then perma banned? how would u check if it is safe?

[Dank]

I'll let you know when/if they ban me lol.

Windower is a TOS violation and as such will never be completely safe. You can play the odds and assume Windower alone is safer than Windower without a load of extra cheats. You can feel safer if you believe SE cannot nor ever will be able to detect Windower use, or be seriously interested in banning people for it.

Regardless. Think of it as speeding. Depending on your jurisdiction and whether or not you've been targeted for other offenses, it's unlikely you're going to get pulled over for going 5 or 10 miles over the limit; fairly certain if you show up on the radar flying along at 110 mph.

Personally I'd be thrilled if there were separate servers for console and PC players. Damn you all and your long macros anyway. :p

Only if they give the PC servers a graphics overhaul...

Seems a very fair trade-off to me... you get better graphics, I get a game relatively free of botters, exploiters, hackers and cao ni ma gilfarmers. Not that at least some shady activities couldn't theoretically occur on consoles, but realistically, who'd choose PS2 or 360 to cheat on when the PC offers such superior tools?

[Krandor]

There would definetly still be gilsellers on a PS2 onry server..

Want to elaborate? I'm getting a mental picture of some kid in China juggling 6 controllers and a claim macro at Ulli and it doesn't compute.

Of course anyone on a console could farm gil and sell it; that's a given. But RMT crafting, for example, would be a joke without synthbots. As would 24/7 black sole fishing, if there really had to be some poor soul present and accounted for on the other end of the rod. There's no question the RMT process would be far more difficult, slower and more expensive to operate without the "resources" available on PC.

Dude have you ever heard of a game genie?

Seriously if you think people can't cheat on a ps2 you're an idiot.

When in doubt, name-call... that works.

Nothing out there for console comes close to the tools currently available for PC. Seriously, if you think PS2 cheats are the equivalent of Windower and its plug-ins, you're... somebody with a different opinion, and you're welcome to it.

Much as I'd like to see them, separate servers for console and PC aren't going to happen, so it's in the realm of the theoretical anyway. No reason to froth at the mouth. Dude.

lol like I said you're an idiot

You probably don't even realize that EVERY tool available for pc players is available for use on ps2 via networking.

It's not opinion, it's fact.

I would actually save up to buy a good pc and the pc version if it meant capes would be visible. lol

[spooky]

omg enough with the capes already! :D

[DeadLegend]

it's all I want ; ;

[spooky]

I bet even if they did put it in, the novelty(sp?) would wear off quickly.
Try just wearing a Cape IRL whlie playing instead. >.>
