your GF >>>>>>>>>>>> you!!!!!!
she got guts!
ok, now im curious...
to people that got LM-11 or get perma-ed LM-17:
what was your magniude of duping. to what extend have you exploited this shit to get perma-ed? 10000 alex? 50 salvage pieces? tell us since reputation doesnt matter anymore to you.
i think some people can roughly know if they are perma-ed or temp from your "Duping findings"
From my understanding this glitch has been around for quite some time. I know of a few shells on Asura that were using this glitch for the majority of 2008. I was made aware of it a few months before SE. Like the other 900 people I chose to put this to its fullest.
I'm a tad upset, I wont lie and say this doesn't hurt. I've put a lot of time into the game and surely the rewards did not justify this. I really thought I'd go out in a blaze of glory rather then banned for 2 salvage drops.
I do regret the choice to drag others into this mess. I am a leader of a end game shell, and currently hold almost 100% of the shells inventory. Not only did I screw things up for those under my watch, I pulled 6-8 players down with me. To those people I cannot say this enough. I am sorry for what I have done. This is my fault and I accept the blame and anger because of the choice I made.
I am currently unaware of my punishment, though it is more likely I'm part of the 56% that wont see their accounts again. With that being said, I'd encourage those of you taking joy in this to learn the lessons we're learning right now.
I did not cause harm to anyone in this game threw my actions until today. If anything the choice to exploit the drop pool made the majority of us very happy until SE chose to punish us for our actions.
I also would like to refute the idea that I am an immoral person. It's hard to confirm this in such a place as this, but my track record in real life would show I am a man of morals. I've never been fired from a job, never slept around while I was in a relationship, never stolen money, manipulated friends, or committed a crime beyond a simple traffic violation. I don't shit on my neighbors and steal from children. So get over it, I know I will.
Final Fantasy is a game, and like anything in this world there are fanatics to match. While you may love this game as much as I do, I beg you to take your emotion out of the situation and consider what exactly you're putting your time into. Square-Enix has proven time and time again they will protect their creation over what the player base would like it to be. This salvage glitch is not only another example of weight SE's ideals put on there players, but would completely consume the issue in itself.
Either way I saw someone say no one was owning up on the thread, so here you are. Hope you guys can poke some holes in what I said and continue to take joy in the whole situation in general. Really speaks to your higher standard to point fingers and kick others.
It seems Bismarck hit sorta hard but checking place just 5 min then loging off doesn't give me whole pic but my friends saying on other servers like Hades,Asura,Carbuncle and lakshimi have hit pretty hard.
God Dammit, Kin...
Kinda surprised Kaeko got booted.
On the Carby server >.> what I think is kinda odd about the people that are banned, temp or perm, are people from LS' that can easily handle the salvage run full on and legit. >.> Not the ones that struggle to have a solid member base. So they just didn't want to waste anymore time on the runs? :/ Not slinging mud, just find it interesting.
Bismarck was hit fairly hard by this, yes.
Btw since the JP players knew about this longer then the NA did anyone know how many of them got banned if any?
I don't feel like like reading through 30+ pages... ;/
So Niki was all "I won't get touched"..and got owned by these bans as well..hmm. Thats a lot of people from just Phoenix alone.
JPs weren't punished, they were simply told "NA FFXI Player Nuking time, so now JP have chance at endgame again, GWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" JPs = warning letter onry.
Jesus all of Merc basically got thwacked.
If only there was youtube embedding...
YouTube - Kansas Carry on my Wayward son
nuuuu Bismarck
I gonna have to go home and Besieged now....ass candy prolly gone already
There's no joy in kicking someone when they are down. The simple fact that you acknowledged that the actions hurt people aside from yourself is all that any legit player ever wants. That puts you on a much much higher tier than people who are saying that they are entitled to a pass.
Maybe in life they are not generally immoral people, but they are, nonetheless, full of shit. They do things like this, get banned, then complain about how it's SE's fault or they had no choice. Taking responsibility for your actions is all the rest of us are asking, and at least you have stepped up to the plate.
/clap
I'm extremely sorry to lose a player like this in the game. This sounds like an ethical and moral person.
You sir, have acted with integrity. You admit your mistake and put yourself out as an act of humiliation. Bravo to you and your heart for your effort.
Thank you for showing me that there are still some decent people out there.
