What Gives?

[Yygdrasil]

Whats with the new live feed on the POL site?

Whats with the freaky new Moogle in Ru'Lude who's yammering on about "Don't exploit the system, kupo!" and "We're working on fixing it soon".

I can't seem to find info on it anywhere. So... what's going on?

Related to the daily rewards system. There's a moogle nearby every Goblin I assume with the message.

[ShadowHeart]

there is one in batallia gives out same message do not exploit whatever.... but really how is the goblin an exploit?? they give out free rewards daily and by what i seen so far shat ones lol

Someone expolited it using a third-party tool. Basically they rigged the item drops.

In other words could guarantee a Novio Earring, Land King pop or Pandemonium Key.

i cant even figure out what to give them to increase the daily points :s

I've never used a third party tool or cheated in any other way, so I don't know the specifics, but from what I've heard there are a bunch of invisible bats around the goblin that people using third party tools can see and kill to get the drops they want. Supposedly it is fixed already as well, but again, I don't know the specifics, just what people have posted on various forums.

I'm surprised SE even put a Moogle there to be honest, they would usually just watch the cheaters and ban them just like they did with Salvage. It isn't like you can see the invisible bats unless you are a cheater. Personally, I'd like to see a ban tally once this boils over, but I think the numbers might be quite low because SE has put in a trap or two to catch cheaters in the past.

you never get an moggle in juneo that you can target briefly that's not supposed to be there? they're all over the place and often you just stumble on to them without 3rd party progs

I think that is merely a glitch of sorts, as it seems to be the Mog House moogle (be quick enough and you can open the menu they give you in the house). I can't imagine there to be any actual use for a hidden Moogle like that.

To me it has happened I think only in Upper, and Lower Jeuno, and basically at identical spot if I'd eyeball it in my mind right now.

Fair enough. I suppose it is a kinder thing of SE to remind players not to cheat rather then just ninja ban masses of them.

Still, a one and a half hour maintenance over this sucks - but that's on SE, regardless. As harsh as I could be towards people that exploit this sort of thing, it should have never gotten into the game.

People that abused it should get banned. I saw a screenshot of someone doing it and getting the Pandemonium Key then Novio Earring then saying they'll Bazaar it to give it to their real account before SE ban their mule.

Not to forget that one needs third-party programs to be able to abuse it in the first place. ^^;
That's why I am personally surprised that they put the Moogles about... rather generous, yet, confusing to those who use no cheats that allow the 'stuff'.

I'm not judging anyone, just surprised how they would warn players like this, in this kind of a situation.

Taking an advantage of something that anyone and everyone could do, is a bit different as one might not even realise they should be doing it, or that they would imagine they would just "roll-back" and so on. Even in such cases though, it would have to be more or less case specific.

the moogle didn't say i couldn't flee around abyssea, safe!!!
