Regarding Malicious Third-Party Programs used in FINAL FANTASY XI (12/24/2009)

[Aksannyi]

they wont ban any of the players. They have no way to track it. So they do not know who to ban.

They said the same thing about the salvage exploit when that warning came out last year. I wouldn't be too certain that they won't.

Should be interesting to watch it unfold. I'll stock up on popcorn.

hahahahaha

My thoughts are that they are going to ban the hell out of people to get them to quit FFXI to go to FFXIV.

Given knowhow of exactly what and how a thirdparty tool does things, I bet they CAN trace it's effects and use.

And a very Merry Christmas it will be.

I hope it's windower. If it's windower it would be a super duper special amazing Christmas.

[grantlogan]

I never understood why SE didn't take action fucking years ago. Oh well, here's to a Super Ban holiday!

[StevenW]

Are they going to ban people who use Windower now...?

If you owned a company like SE would you throw away $1M a year when you barely do anything to make it?

[Xyle]

Ahh, can't think of a better way for SE to say...

Happy Holidays everyone.

At least we know for sure the Muary was S&Ded by SE and he didn't take down the app himself, which was my theory.

[Mandog]

To little to late, if there are any bans due to this announcement it would be more like watching a B rated horror film or a really bad porno film filled with fat chicks with C section scars....

But what if they do... I'm actually nervous now.

[Julian]

Don't see the big deal over this, if people get banned, then good riddance. If you're going to cheat in a game, you should be aware of the possible consequences, and be ready to accept them if the time ever comes.

More like a preview for FFXIV: The Perfection of Banhammer.

But playing with Windower isn't cheating.... unless used with certain plugins

Then use the official SE windowed mode.

Will they ever ban people for windower? Not likely, but who knows? If you're going to use windower, you should also be aware of that possibility and ready to accept the consequences.

I use windower, if they ever ban me for using windower, that's fine with me. I have no intention of ever playing this game without windower and my plugins.

SE windowed mode is garbage.... including that the controller stops functioning when you put the game in the background, and takes 3 sec. after you open the window again to start working...

Doesn't matter, using windower even with no plugins, extended macros, etc is still using a 3rd party program and is a bannable offense if SE ever decides to go after it. So either stop using windower or man the fuck up and accept the consequences if/when they come.
