So are they banning people on the brew holds?

[Chronofantasy]

they still ban people?! i know when you do a GM call for botting all you get is a nice little"we dont care" msg from the GM's

Don't translate their: "Thank you for your call and we will investigate into this further." as their: "We don't care" message to you. If they say they'll investigate it that means they're actually investigating into whether that character is following the ToS are whether or not they can detect anything wrong from that player. They will often do mass bannings and sometimes players that are detected as botters or RMT will be a part of that mass banning.

when your in south gusta behind a rock for 13 hours casting summons your botting, shit my friend sat in lower jueno for 3 days after abyssea exping his brd to 90 with a skill up bot running in plain sight. ive seen dead people sliding around on the ground in abyssea ive seen people in attowa tele hacking to finish seal quests. not one person i know of has been banned recently for botting in any way.

Edit: to clarify no i dont get that "we will look into it" you get a go to 6 different web pages and submit the complaint to another department when your logged out of ffxi msg.

Yes xbox players can get banned, normal is modded xbox. and handfull get banned like trying say , nothing they did but what game allowed, and there not be rude to other players. if in the game should be ok , if not should be fixed the problem.

About the only way to get banned for botting/cheating is to /sh it jeuno. Which can get you banned even if you did not actually do what you said you did.

Or uh...so i've heard...

That may very well be true, but can you prove it? That's the point I'm trying to make. And the reason for the generic GM message may be because even if GMs do respond to you in person, so to speak - what exactly can they do? Also, I'm fairly certain they get a loooooooot of these calls - "omg that person outclaimed me 3 times in a row, they are botting!!!". If someone cares enough to make a GM call, they ought to care enough to submit a report to the STF. Either way, SE would have to investigate, and in most cases they won't be any the wiser.

As for the dead people sliding on the ground, I see that quite often in laggy places.

Also, Xbox players can get banned for RMT related activities.

Yeah, I'd superficially suspect RMT. I haven't heard of anyone getting banned for brew holding any more than they've been banned for pausing their buffs on FoV books for the last two years.

[Dazusu]

Had 2 people i know got banned for 6 months, only thing they can think they got banned one dude never did damn thing , othere dude did brew holds?

If banned offence then fixed it or tell people not to do brew holds.

Brew holds are use brew and uses treasure chest , conflux , mart any thing get npc talk to. and accident for some people.

You don't get banned for 6 months. That's a complete fabrication. It's either 24, 36, 72 hours, a week or permanent.

are u sure?
well a ban list would be dead ass long if they keep, might be that they say its permanent and u believe it because u can't use it after 4 or 5 months.And after 6months they maybe clean the list to reduce the calculation the server has to do (file size would increase and increase and increase if they don't do it).
i know its speculative but it could be.

happened to me at diablo II the only time i was cheating , its like 6 years ago, and i got banned for maphack.
so i am branded and i've never used cheat/3rd party tools again.
however it showed me perm bann and after approx 6 months i was able to use the key again.

Permanent bans are permanent. There are no 6 month bans.
