More then 1/2 the people I know would quit FFXI if windower was shutdown.

02-09-2012, 03:03 AMBabekekeHalf the people who got banned, had Astral burned a SCH or PUP to 75 within a week on a new char. (I'm not sure why PUP since it still needs skilling, but that was a popular choice).Quote:

It's like wiping your ass with your hand your entire life and then discovering toilet paper.

02-09-2012, 03:11 PMSNKNiki was probably the most famous for falling harder then anyone who ever got banned. Hasn't shown his face anywhere on the internet since then or has long since made it a point to never let anyone know who he is now.Quote:

The original LM-17 Thread...Quote:
In November 2008, we discovered an issue that allowed players to create multiple items for certain treasures and rewards in areas such as Salvage and Assault by exploiting the game system.
The issue was fixed during emergency maintenance on November 26, 2008. However, we discovered that some players had already exploited the issue and used it to gain additional items before it was addressed. We then investigated more than a year's worth of logs throughout all areas.
As a result of the investigation, approximately 400 players were temporarily suspended based on the evidence gathered. Approximately 550 players who committed more serious misconduct had their accounts banned.
We are working hard to ensure that these kinds of issues do not occur again in FINAL FANTASY XI. However, if you discover any problems with the game system, please submit a GM call or fill out the feedback e-mail form to report the problems to us, instead of exploiting or spreading the issue.
We thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

The mass amount of QQing and predictions that FFXI was done after this is awesome. -
02-09-2012, 08:49 PMRunespiderAdded to that, 2 years later not only was salvage gear made obsolete but gil made easier to obtain also. So they took massive risks for stuff that would be shortly outdated anyway :DQuote:

Having said that ofc Square did lull people into a false sense of security over this, inaction for years over botting etc and then the holy hammer of banning on this. It was like..."they won't do anything..lets spam this before they fix it" to "I don't believe they banned me, I had 3 relics! the game will be dead without me!" lol -

Speaking of Nikki he hasn't quit infact he is still very vocal on various forums including this one he's just using a diffrent name.

02-10-2012, 12:06 AMRunespiderJust goes to show, when people say "they won't ban people cause it will cost them money" it actually makes them more money. They just buy new codes and resub, win win.Quote:
