LM-17

[GeneJackit]

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.

Anyone else find this retarded? Completely over-wrought on such a meaningless subject. No need to give your back story. You make a point that you are decent person outside of the game and what not, and I am sure that is true....no one important is going to judge you one what you did in a speck of a game for four years+...or however long...but you know what? Inside the game you were that immoral person...that jerk...b/c you had HUGE responsibility with everyone elses items. Go fall on a sword somewhere else.

[MrW]

Well, I know I'll miss seein' you runnin' around and bumpin' into walls , MrW!

Haha!

[Hogie]

I really wish i could speculate a list for leviathan but im still at work. Although i have been told a large number of people from Epiphany on Leviathan are gone.

[Riel]

I never used the trick and could give a fuck less. All I can think of:

[GeneJackit]

They shouldn't perma-ban for that especially since by the time they warned against it the damage was allready done.

I've lost the little respect I had left for SE.

whats with the loss of respect? Its their game....play by there rules...they dont need your respect

[Soracloud]

I can see a lot of LSs getting fucked over on this one. A leader who decides to do it with a group that are not in his LS and gets caught duping. The innocent people of the leaders LS can lose their bank and inventory. You cheat, you hurt more then yourself.

Why you make us cry? That no nice

[MogKnight]

I take that back, Lief is still there. D:

[Darkrift]

So do we know of anyone ... like a minidragon... that got banned?


and holy fucking christ it took me a while to read pages 1-37. I read a few ppl asking about mini etc, but no one confirming if im not mistaken if they got perma or not.

[Rhinox]

And I'm proud to be an American, since at least SquareEnix hates me. I'll proudly stand up and dupe my salvage gearzzzzzz, for the LLLLMMMMMM-177777777777!

fuck, you're annoying.

[Arthars]

if you notice, those "respectable" players that got banned didnt post here YET

prolly will come back after 3 days(if they are not perma banned) and start a whole new thread all by themselves about their victory

[Quixon]

I am Squeelch and I can confirm this rumour.
Those 10 alexandrites are going to cost me quite big.

EDIT: Oh boy I get to REPRESENT OH YEAH. VALEEEEEFOORRRRR

Yhalothar

[drewbixcube]

i'm more suprised about how many people didn't do it than how many people did do it tbh.

[fren.]

Only thing that would make this better is if someone posted some of the replies from the maintenance thread that fixed the duping.

"They won't find shit"

[dbdesigns]

LM-17 awesome b-day present from SE... woot

why are you defending yourself IRL like a saint? I dont see anyone being called a scumbag IRL just cause they duped, in fact im sure the majority of the banned players are genuinely nice ppl IRL. I dont see a comparison with cheating in a videogame to never cheating on your girlfriend or getting fired. Maybe if Megaen Fox would have knocked on your door and offered to suck your cock you wouldv'e done it?

In the words of Al Bundy, 'Its only cheating if you get caught"

"They won't find shit"

"If you didnt know you did not need to know" was my favorite.

YOU ARE CORRECT SUH

[Deuce]

Ehhh f that, cause now the accts aren't pure!

[Waku]

They should just take away all the duped gear and slap a week suspension on them.

Also, lolcheaters.

[Riker]

SE took 85% of the last good remaining players on alexander.

I'll dish out the vitriol here, TYVM. As for finding something retarded, how about rebutting others' posts with half-assed 1-liners while contributing absolutely nothing to original argument either way? Where do you even stand, aside from the troll section?
