thats taj...

and WOW AT SE NERFING THE FISHBOTS
That was totally out of left field.

[Lordender]

k so they removed the rmt fishbots that made money in those areas now how about the gil they created? ;;

[Skjie]

Would also explain why the servers had to go down (RE: Changing fishing & synths)

[Tordall]

I'm not sure that was Taj, I've been having a random freeze/crash problem since about the last update. Although I thought it was related to a driver I updated about the same time.

That didn't hit the black sole bots did it?

[Similli]

This thread is either fucking hilarious to Taj right now or he's sitting at his computer crying about you all ragging him...

Anyways if you look back at the thread everyone asked Taj for some entertainment, we didn't ask for him to help us discover exploits and patch them so that we could all be safe from the Chinamen. He gave us some entertainment, there was never some hidden moral agenda of his. Take it for what it is, a funny thread about D/Cing a bunch of RMT and Besieged retards and either be pissed because you can't play for 2 hours or go download some pron.

[Senoska]

True way to see if it was fixed: Have Taj log on and try, if it works, it wasn't fixed, if it doesn't they fixed it

Gyahhhhh my smithing skillups!....

[divisortheory]

plz don't remove anymore gil from the economy

[Terrance]

Not a surprise they nerfed fishbots, again.
And MPKing the fishbots is only a new thing for NAs, JPN players have been doing it for quite a while, check out tune ache.

Wonder whats next. AE botting quadev?

No, think of it as a "Rusty Cap Nerf, Part 2".

Seriously, none of my stuff is selling ;-;

[Toth]

Their analogies required zero reading between the lines and yet it still flew over your head, Toth?

A problem was introduced by Taj. Prior to him using it, no one had knowledge of it (although claiming that you did have knowledge after the fact is easy enough to do, not so easy to prove); and he proceeded to abuse the problem which he introduced, at the expense of RMTs and legit players alike. He is jailed, and he unveils the solution to the problem, and now easily led people such as yourself view him as a martyr.

Forgive me for not equating getting dced from a god damn video game to a potential death scenario. Nothing got over my head, thank you.

[TsingTao]

Hurray for SE not just tackling the Batilla botters but nailing them in a few other areas. I only expected something to prevent the afk armies along the coast what with how long other areas have been ignored.

LOL @ all the other random angst this thread contained as well. Amusing reading after lunch.

[Nystul]

Oh for fucks sake toth it's an analogy. I am NOT equating death with server downtime. I'm relating the concept that the problem was created and fixed not just simply fixed. The idea that the mechanic was the savior is laughable because he caused the problem.

If you were any more silly you'd next say "omg stupid analogy no mechanic would ever cut the brake line in front of you!!!" jesus it's just a fucking fictional comparison. Can't see the damned forest for the trees.

To quote Yogi Berra:

"I want to thank you for making this day necessary."


good christ now I'm pissed off. I can't believe I acutally just explained something that should be patently obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense. I had alread been in a shitty mood but holy fuck. It takes a special kind of asshole to be the person that tries to pick apart the veracity of a fucking analogy while actively ignoring the actual point of it.

You're actually making me want a cigarette for the first time since god damned august. Afk, gonna go outside and find some kittens that I can kick around for a bit.

[TrueZero]

puplol

[Not Kuno]

IF YOU DIE IN FFXI YOU DIE FOREALZ

Holy shit, no way?!!! That's brilliant!!!!

But yeah at the rate SE is smacking down RMT mules and everything prices are tanking. Everytime I list something I come back a day later to find it hasn't sold and now the price is a couple K less than what I had it listed for last time
