The scarlet letter?!
That'll lern 'em real gud.
Imagine all the ppl that went on salvage runs just to buy and might have been banned along with the people doing it
even they get perma titles like "Thieves", they can always form up their own LS
cheaters will regard cheaters as their most loyal friends and will not mock at one another
and that makes a successful LS!
Wow, not only is this example not even logically correct, it isn't even remotely analogous to the issue:
FFXI players pay for the service of playing FFXI. It is SE's responsibility to deliver a working game. The duping glitch was an example of SE failing miserably. The bug was known and reported many, many months before it was fixed. I recall several people mentioning reporting it during the initial findings of it. This is negligence on the part of SE. If someone pays you to take care of their dog, and you forget to put food in its bowl, it's your fucking fault if the dog starves to death or gets sick, etc. If someone comes and steals the dog, guess what it's your fault.
In this case, SE if failing to deliver the product s.t. there are known errors with the game which are left unattended for months and months and months, and rather than acting quickly to restore this, and issuing the players who abused it a stern warning, they wait and wait an wait, and simply ban the majority of the people using it?
Whether it is right or wrong, when an issue is known and ignored it is tacitly condoned.
To put this another way -- let's assume you're in a room with someone else, and you set some rules. Under no circumstances is the other person allowed to "exploit bugs". You don't want him to open the door to the outside and to ensure this, you ask your task force to make sure the deal is sealed and locked shut. Eventually a passerby opens the door from the outside, and it is discovered that the locks completely suck and don't work -- it's just a normal door. He tells you this. The other person in the room, witnessing the door opening, eventually opens it himself and then stares at you for 30 seconds. You say nothing. The other person then continues to open the door and use it. 5 months later you shoot the other person in the head and kill him, stating, "Motherfucker you opened the fucking door."
Ive never botted, never used flee tool or pos tool, never MPK'd anyone(who didnt deserve it muahaha) Ive hardly even used windower, ONLY to 2box a short time. and Ive never stolen from people. Ive appreciated getting to meet and know people from around the world and having our adventures together. However, SE set the tone when they allowed RMT and cheaters to go on for years before they initiated their special fuck you force and now they are like "hahaha what were you thinking? WHAM! banned". After doing salvage for 2years and feeling frustrated and let down from not having any gear, I used the exploit for Usukane Body and Feet and now Im banned. There were people using the exploit to obtain hundreds of millions of gil from sandworm and they were temp. suspended.
Anyway, they are right to ban the deviants, but they have to remember that most of their players are kids and teenagers, not 60yo business men with PHD's who expect legality and such seriousness from a game and theres a better way to repair their careless image than to remove our friends from the game. So if you think that this was a bit harsh, please write to the US accounts manager at;

1,000 players suspended/banned, postage is like 25cents so write a letter for yourself, and/or one for your friends who got banned and let them know what you think.

Hahaha, what a waste![]()
I'm with whoever said earlier that Minidragon might commit suicide if perma banned. x7 Relic Sash and shit, 24/7 LS and you get banned? God damn.
On the flipside I heard Shukudai got the ban after coming back to Carby too.
Exactly, most botters aren't ashamed of botting just like it is obvious when someone with no LS, no crafts etc... buys gil. You saw the whole "Kira is justice" no one gave a shit after it was initially released, the people on the list kept their shells and kept participating in camping etc.... The whole "shame" thing or "mark" them is silly and would never work.
Here is what lost i don't remmber all relic holder so correct me if i'm wrong
