If it's true surely you can google it and prove you're not a bullshitter, no? stfu idiot, SE said no such thing, you've either made that up, or a quote has gone through a game of chinese whisper and when it got to you it came out as a pile of shit nonsense. you are a total wanker you know that right?

Don't quote things you can't prove or backup fuck tard.

I'm glad he reset your post count. One being the fact that in the last 15 hours you were about to surpass me when I've had this account for months lol.

Na, SE did say they intended it to be a DD and not a tank. Sorry that I don't wanna take the time to look it up for you

[D44kpunk]

Didn't you try to equate this to real life earlier too with the teacher and notes example?

If you go back and read the post it was the person i quoted that had used the teacher example and I just expanded on it.. Also I didn't say "LOL RL ISN'T FFXI" I just said the little thingy I said about beta testing.

FOUND IT!

4 stages of happniess
 anticipate with pleasure,
 savor the moment as I experience it,
 express my happiness to myself or others, and
 reflect on a happy memory.

Your on the second stage.

You don't have 5 minutes to find this famous quote, instead of ranting on about jobs being exploited for tanking with shadows, just to justify the salvage glitch, nuff said about you moron.

[Zigfried]

you agree to an at-will contract every single time you log into this game. In said contract you agree to not exploit glitches and hacks. why the fuck are you still QQing? So it was a programing bug. Guess what, you said you would not abuse said bugs and glitches when you logged in. fuck you, get over it.

SE has the right to ban you for what ever reason they see fit. You do not own your character. You rent it monthly.

Sorry for the late reply. I went to sleep after waiting on hold that long, just woke up a little while ago. Just to hear from the source, yep, it's perma. Not the way I wanted to go out, but kay-sar-a, sa-ra. I had fun, despite the developers. I already picked out the TV I plan to get, the Pioneer PDP-5020FD. I'd get a larger one but I don't have room in my place. Thanks to everyone who's provided their condolences. For everyone that pointed out the SE banned me over and over, thank you for pointing out the obvious, I can assure you I've noticed. No, I'm not upset or really that sad. I believe it to be an unmeasured response, but that's my humble opinion.

I am leaving the game, but I'm happy to say I'm leaving the game as one of the most accomplished individuals. I can say w/o a doubt, I couldn't of had a better group to play with. I'm proud of our LS, what we accomplished, how far we came from day 1 till now. As far as the LS is concerned, I have no regrets. We accomplished a great deal for a shell of 25. If I had to pick a time for the LS to go out, I can't think of a better one. We were in our prime, at our best. The atmosphere in the shell was positive, and I was excited to get up everyday and do what we did. I tried my hardest to make decisions that I thought were fair, never tried to play favorites on loot decisions, and always tried to make sure I never became one of the LS leaders who took everything before their member. In every good HNM shell, there is a calculated risk and reward. My LS took the gamble and lost. But never reget rolling the dice.

As for me, I'm not going to commit suicide, or whatever else you guys have been cooking up in those heads of yours. SE made their decision, even if I don't agree with it, I have no option but to respect it. I could be upset or angry over it, but what good would that do? I would much rather celebrate the accomplishments then dwell on the defeats. I don't plan on playing another MMO, and now that Minidragon is gone, I don't plan on playing this one either. My simple regrets, I never got to parse one of our Amano sams with my Apoc after getting the Armada, Mar's, and a couple minor HQ's. I came really close last time, and I think I could match or beat him this time around. I didn't get to finish the Burtgang, I was joking with the LS about how if I were to finish the Burtgang, I would instantly enter a CS with the FFXI credits rolling. I was at least happy to know that I was going to finish it. I don't think there would have been any obstacles that I couldn't overcome in the making of that weapon. My last regret, was not capping merits. I was about 216 merits from capping all jobs out for merits.

Just to clear a few things up (lot's of strange rumors about me) and some neat facts:

I am the original owner of the account.

I am from the US.

No, I'm not a virgin.

Yes, I have friends.

Yes, I have seen the sun.

I'm actually a pretty normal person, I just happen to play a video game for a few more hours a day then average MMO players. I go out with friends, and have BBQs, play poker on rare occasions.

I did not buy gil in this game. Believe what you want, but I honestly didn't.

I did at one point use the gardening exploit to amass a great quantity of Fire, Ice and Thunder ore. I had over 40 gardening mules at that point between 3 accounts. My ‘other’ major indiscretion.

At the peak of inflation, I dropped on accident a stage 3 relic katana worth about 200mil at the time. There was no way to recover it.

I spent about 1,000,000,000 on my first relic. Had I saved that gil, I would very likely have many more relics today.

Most of my relics were self funded, the only one that I received help on was the Horn, and NiN helped me complete it.

Most of the gil I used to unlock relics is the remnants of fortune I amassed during the inflation.

I did receive a great deal of accounts from previous Iron members, and one from a old JP friend.

I did at points trade away accounts for gil, but never for cash. I couldn't afford keeping all of the accounts, so I picked the ones that benefited the LS the most to hold on to. This was also one of the major sources of gil for the most recent relic, and the burt.

I did not receive my D-ring from Iron or NiN, I got it in a Japanese HNM shell for my Ninja, the only other tanks there were a pld that had gotten one the week before, and a taru ninja who hasn't played in a long time. It was the first NA D-ring on the server and the last NA D-ring for a year.

To the best of my knowledge, I was the first NA character on any server with a Maat's cap. I was for sure, the first Maat's cap on our server. When the Maat's cap was released, I only had 2x75's, 1x37, and I was in the middle of leveling rng at about 50.

There have always been a great deal of rumors about how I treated my LS. I never kicked someone out for missing a single event, I was strict on attendance, but not that strict. I respected everyone I played with, and I never tried to take anything that I don't think everyone would agree I earned. I had a great deal of gear, but I honestly didn't solo lot much of anything in the shell. I passed a huge amount of rare gear to LS members, and always tried my hardest to avoid being selfish.

I never stole from the LS bank, however I will most likely be keeping the remainder of the bank, which isn't much. We had just bought several Salvage bodies worth of Khroma and brought it back to the server, so was a little on the low side.

I never botted on Minidragon. I did on mules, but never on my main.






I would like to end on a good note. I loved playing this game. It was really the people that I got to play with that made me excited to logon every day. Even despite all of the flaws, and SE going out of its way to alienate its player base. The people are what made this game fun for me. So I want to give a shout out to everyone that made this game that much better.

Narse (Apathy of Remora): One of the nicest guys I've met in this game. Deeply concerned for the wellbeing of his shell, and a very dedicated player. I have an amazing amount of respect for you and what your shell has accomplished. I wish you guys nothing but the best in your future endeavors.

Saibankan (AD of Bismrack): You've been a good friend and have helped us on countless relics. I'll miss talking with you about our achievements and goals. I'm sorry a great deal of the currency you sold us will go to waste now, but I hope we at least got the most out of it while we had it.

Tredvolt (the ex-leader of Iron): I didn't agree with everything you did, but watching you helped me shape NiN into the LS it is today. I learned a great deal from your successes, and mistakes. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so.

To the friends (and enemies) in Foreal: We butted heads a great deal, but at very least it made endgame on Bismarck exciting. It really would have been boring with out you.

All of my old friends in Iron: I tried my best to carry the torch for the shell. We accomplished everything that I wish Iron could have been. I just hope that our LS is not forgotten so easily.

To all of the people who watched and supported the shell. I thank you. I know I was never perfect, but I always tried to be a leader worth respecting. I did the best I could to live up to those principles. And for better or worse, I have no regrets about our shell. I'm sorry I didn't get around to listing everyone, there are so many more people that have influenced me in this game. Just know that I am truly grateful to of played with every one that helped shape the shell or supported us from afar.

Finally, to the men and women that I had the distinct privilege of playing with everyday. To all the Nine Inch Ninjas members, past and present, thank you for all your time and hard work. We set a very high standard for people to follow. We built something that was unique and fun. I have nothing but the utmost respect for each and every one of the people I played with. I couldn't have asked for a better shell, or a nicer group of people. I loved leading this shell more then any single other accomplishment in this game. It brought me a great deal of pride to see us succeed. It was truly you guys that made this game fun for me, and your absence is with out a doubt a great blow to the FFXI community. I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.

good lord...

To be fair it does make more sense if you know how long :Ni spells originally took to cast. So it wasn't completely crazy when SE said they didn't intend for nin to tank.

[D44kpunk]

I feel so dumb posting back to you people because your responses to what I'm saying are so.. naive? Didn't say that SE couldn't ban people, with the recent change in the ToS they've pretty much said "fuck you, we do what we want." Still isn't right for them to ban people for a problem they caused.

[majriti]

im kinda sad about a few ppl who lost there accnts here, perma or suspended...
im sorry to all the ppl who never thought SE would do this.
but a note to all the ppl from shiva, we have seen countless number of accounts banned.
you all should know by now that takin advantage of SE mistakes will always result in bannings.....


and to the fallen TSD members....may you rest in peace with Jackz !

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...HaveaDream.jpg
lordy lordy banned at last, banned at last..........


god its a good thing i never wanna go back to shiva, i hate you all lmao

[Rocl]

NO ONE FUCKING CARES THAT YOU'RE "MOVING ON LOL"

"Great blow to the FFXI community" yeah ok you're not an arrogant ass at all

Quick, someone compile all these fucking "goodbye" posts and making a fucking Bible of how not to cheat at vidya games and get upset when you're banned from playing them by someone other than your mother.

(fuck yeah, does that count for alliteration points?)

[Koyangi]

LOL, Wopa's high and mighty being banned is wonderful news, and I'm mostly happy to see gone those other's touting their horns of how the duping thing "wasnt a big deal but I got 3 full sets!" attitude.

[Ashira]

Good god. My computer blows up and look what happens.

Seriously only got to like page 25 (on 50ppp of course!) of this.

Wanted to say a few things, though:

SE knew about this a long time before it became so very public and they finally fixed it. People talked about how they themselves reported it ages ago in the last thread when it got patched. How the "this many people knew and NEVER REPORTED IT" got repeated as much as it did within 40 pages and never corrected is beyond me. The basic odds are stacked against that many people knowing and NEVER saying anything.

My condolences to my friends on Odin, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Also, Snitch, it's pretty commonly well remembered the comments from SE about NIN not being intended to be a tank. Stop making yourself look like more of an idiot.
