Dupegate, the aftermath and lack of consequences

[Isola]

If they actually banned 2000 they would say they banned 10,000 thats the problem. They're liars.

If there is a thousand rule breakers and they ban 999 of them, they still did a subpar job. Every single obvious one should be handled. Then actually investigate the not so obvious ones.

Liar is liar, they are liars. You are being lied. That's their job, unfortunately.

Director Fujito also stated stuff like that will continue through the next year because they believed something like that is just a small effect and Asura is still a large population. Even 2.7k online players right now.

Edited: Whatever his main problem is. Something like this will leave dupers alone for sure. I don't defend dupers but you know it's true.

Whatever excuse you want to make for them there is no excuse for letting players continue to sell and use duped medals. There is nothing easier than tracking down duplicated medals like this, especially when he's selling them on the AH. There is a paper trail.

And there is no excuse for letting dragonsrage sell all his items crafted with duped medals as well.

Nqftw officially nearing 10,000 duped medals sold, how the hell is this not addressed.

This breaks the RMT and the cheater-to-purchase-progression culture. It deserves implementation asap.

Instead of trying to put your thread into every other thread, bump your own thread if you care that much about it. They're all stupid ideas.

This thread isn't for that.

I can conceive of three categories of subscribers that would not advocate for evolution within the UI to disrupt the wickedly compromised FFXI economy.

#1 A player that revels in trading gil for increases in power progression.
#2 An individual or organization of individuals that proliferate through either exploiting the players described in #1 or participating in RMT behaviors.
#3 A player that can not conceive the repercussions of past transgressions or the repercussions of allowing the current environment which facilitates disgusting behavior and violations of the FFXI ToS to continue.

[Isola]

You forgot the only important "category"

The ones who know they aren't going to rebuild the whole damn game. End of story.

I don't think ANYTHING (including crafting) should be able to be bought or sold, and strictly based on earning. but I'm also not stupid enough to think they will ever even consider changing the game in any way shape or form economy wise.

Back to the point of THIS thread.

nqftw, an obvious mule/selling account has sold ninety three hundred fake dynamis medals. And you still haven't done anything about it. That's embarrassing. Shameful.

Roughwind, a player who took advantage of the dupe (and got banned) created a new account, and is profiting off his duped gains on this new account, Roughstorm. Absolutely zero consequence for duping billions of gil worth of items.

Kemikalz, a player who took advantage of the dupe (and got banned) created a new account, and is profiting off his duped gains on this new account, Kemikal. Absolutely zero consequence for duping billions of gil worth of items.

Dragonsrage, bought thousands of duped medals and continues to profit from them.

Dozens of players have now bought duped medals and are currently profiting from them. Amarilia, Sotherland, Zeakean, Bonfala, Agwashay, Azeran, Thoril

I completely agree about SE's ineptitude in regards to tracking the dispersal of exploitation of a ToS violation and players laundering through multi-account transfers. The day SE had adequate suspicion of an interface hack they should have slapped a "EX" tag on all items in question and all items associated with the security breech including any crafting material, crafting product or relic upgrade item until they could competently clean up the illegitimate items in question, fully secure the game code, reverted all characters determined to have been actively participating in the interface hack to a fresh creation status (meaning no job levels, no inventory, no gil, no quest completions, no mission completion, no merits, no capacity points). At which point SE could and should have introduced a NPC by which players would acquire the formerly crafted equipment (JSE necks + SU4/5 weapons) by trading in sums of dynamis {D} currency determined by the FFXI director, producer and the SE FFXI dev team.
On the day of the "EX" tag implementation, FFXI team introduces a RoE or multiple RoE for personal currency / dyn {D} loot so that players continuing to enjoy dyn {D} would not be subject to the vintage treasure pool dispersal system.
