Oh noes! GMs making people drop Snowmen!

I find that rude and unnecessary, and probably untrue for a handful of them. :/

I mean seriously, how would you feel if it was you? Think about it. Don't give the "wouldn't happen to me cause I don't 3rd pty, go to websites, give out info" and it just randomly happened to you somehow ?


Be ironic if someone came around on your 'account got stolen' post and said 'retards deserve this shit.' lol

be serious here, if there was some 'hack in the servers' hundreds of accounts would be ransacked per day, and many of the known rich people would of been hacked already.

If you got hacked, you either A) gave your info to someone you didnt know or not too good friends with in RL or B) downloaded malware.

In either case, you screwed up.

You dont just get 'Randomly hacked' without SOME form of information leadering the hacker to your user/pass.

When SE comes out and says 'we got hacked, sorry you lost your accounts', then ill say I was wrong.


Yes SE's ways of helping customers in getting their accounts back after being stolen is fucking idiotic and retarded and should be changed, but that doesnt change the fact its the users fault they got hacked.

Was reading this thread lol...
I just got jacked this morning and I never did A or B.... all my scans came up clean... Is it still my fault?

btw 3 minutes til Se's useless customer support opens (/em knows he is now screwed out of ffxi forever....)

You didn't happen to visit some-page did you?

Sorry for the big delay, no I didn't go to Somepageisevildotcom.... I use alla

On another note, I "discussed" with SE technical support for almost 2 hours that day why they wouldn't help me. I say "discussed" as in each time I hit a dead end I asked for the next higher up in management. I didn't get far up the chain, but the third guy I talked to I had told him that the answers I was getting were completely unacceptable and I was not going to stand for it. I said furthermore I am a paying customer, youre business is built on serving those who pay you and I fealt that therefore I should be valued a little more than the rmt that stole my account. I told him that I would be notifying the Better business bureau of my transactions with this company and would be seeking legal course of action for some sort of compensation for my 4 years of waste (I have played ffxi since the day it hit US stores). Lastly I said that word of mouth is still one of the biggest forms of marketing and that I would utilize it to make sure my friends and family never bought SE and anything from its parent company again. After that I hung up.

I realize that legal action will yield nothing but it must of worked in some fashion because yesterday afternoon I got a call from Square-Enix regarding my account. I was told that my account password had been reset and the person responsible was "no longer able to play ffxi with the account they had registered."

Even better news, when I logged back in, all my items except my gil were intact..... so I only lost a whole 26k gil lol, well that and they 30k sitting in my deliv box...... guess this rmt was too retarded too steal my items first.....

Why they won't help people without a very irrational arguement is beyond me. If you ask me, this wasn't worth my time and I am VERY seriously considering quitting anyway.

What irks me the most is that supposedly (according to them, in some places) selling your account is illegal and that it's supposed to be non transferable, heck, you can't even update member's name without contacting SE. But then they come up with the argument that the account now belongs to "someone else" and no longer "yours" and that that's the reason they can't give accounts back?

So...have they announced when I can go request those snowmen? I tossed mine after talking with Shadowrunner, ; ; but they were so cool.

[Catrina]

I'd say on the 18th

ty, I've been sad since my mog house now only has a bed and my certificates, ; ;. It needs some holiday spice.

Sounds like a psychiatrist's office.

P.S. FIGHT THE POWER!

I am going to guess the 31st, since you got them off of the new-year's rats.

[Shadowrunner]

I know this is a necrobump, but I wanted to take the time to thank the appropriate people.

We had to throw the snowmen out, sad to say.

However today when I checked my Delivery Box, I received 3 wonderful new snowmen directly delivered to me from ==MHMU==, free of charge. I'd like to thank them, considering I really didn't expect to get them back for free, rather to do the simple quest again.

So... thanks! <3
