I am not here to judge these ppl but I can't help thinking what would have happened to me if I didn't leave Seraphi and was still doing Salvage with them.Midgardsormr-11
Jamibian (Aegis)
Avy (Yoichi)(Apoc)
Zoicite
Daz
Ysukie
Redbun
Nunuu
To be honest I don't think some of them deserve permaban. Daz, Ysukie, Nunuu and Redbun are dedicated players and they helped me build my own salvage group 2 years ago when noone would join because I am not from a big HNMLS. I trusted them and we had a great time working as a team until they decided to leave BJ to start their own salvage group for some really stupid reasons. Before they left, Ysukie/Nunuu/Rebun all have 4/5 Usukane, Daz has full Marduk and Morrigan's Robe (which was never upgraded as far as I know) and another player with 4/5 Ares set whose name should not be revealed since he was not involved in the cheat. Daz left because he felt BJ should never do double run and Ysukie's gang left because I "forced" them to do at least ONE ZNM per week.
We lost 2 MNK tank, one BRD and another backline job which completely crippled us. At one point BJ was down to 5 members and we almost disbanded. Luckily ppl decided to stay and rebuild the LS. 6 months later we are back on track, with enough ppl to do double run consistently and have made some decent progress in ZNM. More importantly we never discover the dup cheat. I can't imagine being resposible for this mess and get ppl banned because of my action.
When SE announeced the ban it immediately reminds me of Ysukie's salvage group. They seem to have unusual drop rate - double Macha's slops, Macha's coat etc within weeks of starting their salvage group, for a new group they seem to be doing exceptionally well in term of clearing NMs + megaboss. It's obvious now they probably duplicate cells to make salvage runs easier.
My heart sank when I saw their names on the list. If they haven't left us I would have found out the cheat, used it to improve drop rate and got banned myself. What happened to them really shocked me because as a Buddhist I am a firm believer in karma. I just hope they only get temp banned, there are other cheaters on Midgardsormr who deserve a perma ban more than these ppl.
ffs......... too bad your name isn't on that list...
but im very glad to see the biggest retard on Midgard like Jamibian or Avy on that list... or that fucking wuss Zoicite...
perma or not.. they deserve it! (Except Corwen!!)
owell... too bad you didn't know about this glitch/bug....
Given the people banned vs those still around and on confirmed temp leave, its hard to say why some got banned and some got a light warning.
Whatever the case, half my LS is gone and the half that's left is quitting. Fuck SE for this, all the people who are participating in 'lol i told you so' I hope you enjoy your shell of a game.
The only message that this sends out is that if SE are capable of checking for exploits/cheats then you will get banned if you use them.
There are some idiotic posts within this thread from both the people that got lm17d and those that are enjoying this banfst.
Im experiencing both side, i know of atleast one friend that has had lm17 that is a nice guy that i know for a fact has never done anything shady before (be it botting, rmting, mpking etc) hopefuly he only receives a temp ban but then on the other side there are people that are getting exactly what they deserve.
Ryko phrased it best
Day two
Good morning all! Good to see this thread is still going. Did you all have fun logging into FFXI last night? I am sure I would of but I was on baby duty. I'm sure I'll get some game time in tonight.
Oh Einherjar this Sunday, yay!
Why do you even bother to post Thorshammer, ppl on Midgardsormr may not like me because I don't take shit from ppl and have no hesitation to kick ppl from my salvage group or xp party. I kicked your brother because you guys sux in salvage and went afk 50% of the time. Name one bad thing I have done that matches what you and your precious amibition LS have done. Oops I just remember you left Midgard because you got kicked from a bot LS lol.
You have no place bitching on me, being one of the biggest botters and server hopper, you are worst than all the ppl appear on the list. You didn't get hit because no salvage group will take you and Nyzul Isle is too hard for you. Too bad you didn't get a chance to use the cheat.
Years of mpk, botting, rmt (guilty!), botting, speed hacking, more botting. And what undoes a fuckton of end-game players?
Non-competitive shit.
OH MAH LORD THATS FUnNY
rofl,...
Nah trick.
Hopefully never but really Idk when the concept remotely interests me again.
Sir, we ask kindly that you wipe your blackness off at the door.

>_> Like really...
It's great being able to log in with the smug feeling that everyone who laughed and riddiculed us anti cheating bastards 2 months ago is now either bye bye, or has bean temp with probably loss of all the gear they got, seriously even though you guys exploited this for over a year in some cases, how much time of your real life did you waste for NOTHING wahahahahahahaha
Tomorrow on CNN.com
"Mass Suicide across the nation"
"Square-Enix top CEO's found murdered in their own homes"
woke up yesterday LM-17 /sadface all i got was denali pants glady toss those fuckers to be unbanned.
lol this is good reading for sure. Feel kinda bad for the ones with a ton of crap that got banned, but hey you cheat you lose there it is.
Just one question, you obviously didn't use this exploit that much to gain many items, but would this teach you a lesson to play fair in the future?
And I'm certainly not justifying your case because you only gained one item, you're still a cheat and deserve whatever is coming to you.
