that may be why my legit friend only got a warning message

and prolly also we used to disband buyer from the other ally, leaving him in lone pt and he still got the drops(which we didnt know on our side lmao). we sell like a few pieces before the bug is fixed......... i wonder if our buyer in that period got banned lmao

LOL yeah, apparently someone on Ramuh contacted one of my friends asking them if I were banned just because I have a comment in my bazaar about selling salvage pieces.

[Deuce]

Something tells me that they won't be updating salvage drop rates ever. If I'm proven wrong whatever, just my theory though.

[Dimmauk]

Minidragon being banned is just pure lulzfest, ohgod I can't stop laughing.

You obviously like skipping around a lot being as I've stated like 40 times that I didn't get banned, you're a complete idiot, roll backs or item removal would have been better but what it boils down to is SE doesn't care about its player base, sorry if I hurt your feelings by saying so.

And I guess you can't tell by my post that I obviously don't care either. Whether or not you got banned is irrelevant, because the action they took was right. You can argue very vehemently that they don't care about their player base, or you could argue that they just don't care very much for people who don't obey rules.

In the end neither matters because people will be playing till they shut it down.

[Yabby]

Say what you will about people deserving it and whatnot, that part's irrelevant, but removing 500 some people, not to mention the friends of those people who decide to quit, doesn't do much to help the longevity of the community. It's not like people are going to create new accounts now because suddenly they see that SE is a righteous company by doing this.

In my opinion, this is a dying game. Granted, one that my character will probably end up dying with. All I know is the list of veterans is getting smaller and smaller and based on the interest and response to SE's recent attempts to bring something new into the game, it's hard to not feel like they're grasping at straws.

NO ONE CARES IF YOU ARE LEAVING GO AWAY!

And yes if people see SE knocking out the players using glich's (IE Most likely are using bots as well) They will stay. You know how many friends I've lost because they are sick of not getting to fight mobs that are fun? Because gliching and botting dickholes claim it nearly 100% of the time? I'm sorry if SE really found out a way to kill ffxi app.... i know a lot of people that would return to this game to play it like it should be played. This game isn't dead, its not going to die any time soon, no matter how many of the "elite" get banned there is always 100 people ready to fill their shoes. get over it, your not important, your friends are not important, go ride a fucking bike.

Proof: It's a Japanese RPG. 0.01% = "Rich, deep gameplay that'll have you hooked for hours! IGN gives this a 8.7!"

Ok if you don't care about the topic then why are you posting on it? Have nothing better to do? Either way I'm sure you could be finding something more productive to do with your time, to be honest your 5k or whatever posts don't make you a god or something, you can spam forums all you want and no one will read your pointless bullshit. If you don't care, go away.

[Valle]

Like I said it was a botched job on SE's part, why ban a person for 1 item and let people with many pieces just walk away with nothing. Seriously they have too many screw ups in this crap.

If they cared to search the rest of the chat log yes. If they wanted to actually do this the right way, they should have looked up all the drops and see if the dropped item went to more than one person or not; and kept track of the number of drops instead of just pummeling many people with the ban stick. Yeah I know it would take many work hours and time, but a respectable company would do that to cover up their fuck up which in all honesty is what SE did in the first place.

Wait what? Did they let many people go or did they just ban anyone who broke alliance? I'm confused.

[Tagus]

I do. I'm in no way saying these guys were in the right for doing something like this; however I think this whole crap was antagonized by the crappy drop rate to begin with. Like I said it was a botched job on SE's part, why ban a person for 1 item and let people with many pieces just walk away with nothing. Seriously they have too many screw ups in this crap.

It definitely stems from a shit drop rate, but that's FFXI in a nutshell. I agree with you on the point that the crappy drop rates created a rarity in the item and encouraged people to use this dupe. The thing that gets me is, SE has increased drop rates on items in the past, and we will never know if they would have done this if the people doing the duping had chosen not to. Any negative attitude I may have directed at people that are banned stems from the simple fact that they have made poor choices and been arrogant about their success, which was gained through cheating. I also think it is rediculous that people on my server are now able to kill things (fafnir) that they couldn't do before the bannings because of the bots that those people were using. A majority of players are better off without those individuals in the game, despite anything that they say to the contrary... and I, for one, am enjoying every second of the transition. It was long overdue.

Dammit where's the unicorn news. I gots to know if RH has finally bit it.

[tyven]

shi-

Thanks for the suggestion of checking his IP though, reminded me to check yours and see you've been banned before.

THANK YOU

[Dimmauk]

He is still there. It seems no unicorns where banned. I'm still hoping SE is just going in alphabetical order and hasnt made it to Unicorn yet.

[Xali]

To me what it boils down to is this:

If you didn't think you were cheating, why not tell everyone? Apathy told everyone how they beat PW. If you're doing something that requires a MASSIVE cover-up to keep going for a year+, how do you not think that whatever it is that you're doing is wrong? And ye gods, if you're doing something wrong over that kind of time span, do you REALLY think you can avoid the bans?

Dream on.

Remember back in elementary school when you did projects?
"If you need to ask[about the subject], you probably can't do it."
It's kinda like that.

I'm loving all this. Not so much that it happened a few days after I moved to Asura, but I didn't really move for the endgame in the first place. Fun times.

Wait what? Did they let many people go or did they just ban anyone who broke alliance? I'm confused.

Several people have claimed that they duped a lot of gear, some gear, or 1 piece of gear and only were given a warning. While some who didn't recieve any gear via the glitch, some, to a lot have received temp and perma bans. Personally the people who got perma banned probably deserved it in many cases. I know I did. But that's besides the point. Either way you look at it they either didn't have enough proof to ban some people or it was completely random. I'd probably say that it was more than likely the first of those two.

[DAKPluto]

Whoever banned the snatch/nikki/whatever, thank you.

You're welcome

Only 24 hours though, or until one of the Admins see it and do the perma.

Does not make sense whatsoever. I am in no way being a hypocrite in any shape or form, especially in that paragraph.

Forgive me for tweaking the stick stuck up your ass. Never said I was leaving. Never said I was important. I gave the opinion that overall this is bad for the long-term survival of the community and the game is at least dying in some small capacity. You obviously disagree, here's a cookie for having a differing opinion. It's a wonderful thing isn't it?
