So are they banning people on the brew holds?

Wow and I thought I had anger issues sometimes. You're just so full of hate.

I think he's just tilting at windmills, maybe he should go have a nice long chat with Krystal since she's a psychologist and get some help with his anger management issues.

WTF is this shit. There's already been a topic on this and the senior moogle person already said that SE doesn't give a crap atm.

[Starcade]

Oh for crying out loud - it's NOT a bannable offense, it has already been stated by a SE representative in another thread on this very forum that it is known mechanic and by design. Several others have already pointed this out and even posted link/quote in this thread. People need to learn how to read. -.-

Here, again: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...ll=1#post34730

Then they need to reexamine how these players are using that design and EXPLOITING it.

It's an EXPLOIT of the mechanism, and that most certainly IS bannable if they're using that kind of stuff to hold in the manners described.

That's why Square-Enix had a rule on the books that any action taken outside of intended purposes could be considered an exploit and bannable.

And where the hate is deserved, the problem with that is... WHAT?

They said it's working as intended, though~

[noodles355]

This. So much this.

Are you thick or something? Do you honestly think SE doesn't already know this??? It's been reported as an in-game bug on this forum where SE replied, and I repeat, "a KNOWN mechanic and BY DESIGN". It was also said that it doesn't mean adjustments won't be made in the future. I.e. they can't ban people for it because they have straight out said "hey we purposely made it that way". However they will probably nerf this at some point in the future.

Starcade I feel a little sorry for you, having been on the same server for a few years and seeing some awkward things from your Ls(s). I believe even if there were no botters/windower users or whatever you feel is unjust in our FFXI you'd still be as bad as you are now.

Greatguardian no he's just as abrasive and inconsiderate in-game as well. I remember his shell wiping to rani and I'm killing dolls and get a random /tell "TOUCH MY RANI AND I'LL FUCKING GM" from this guy, was a little weird then I laughed as another group stole it.

Dammit, maybe somebody NEEDS to mount that freaking crusade, don't you think???

Oh, I'm sorry I'm not a cheater or an enabler like you.

Your own words show the attitude you have toward cheating and the like -- so don't give me that baloney, because I'm not listening to it.

When most players' idea of "having fun" is to deny the enjoyment of the game to all but themselves and their friends, frankly, I don't give a flying rats patoot about their "having fun" when it involves thousand-dollar bots, RMT, poshacking, Windower, and all else they feel is necessary to have fun.

The only reason I still play this game is to spit at attitudes like yours.

You have to be harmed by it.

Yeah, I guess I'm "thick" to see that people are EXPLOITING that mechanic to possibly extend the amount of time they are under brew so monsters can be held so that more people can kill them?

Hell, you people think I'm so stupid, and even I figured that out in about 4 seconds.

There is a difference (not that a cheater/enabler like you would care -- pick the one you are) between the mechanic being intended and the way people are using it being intended.

Logging hate has the same problem. The mechanic of logging out is intended, but doing so specifically to remove hate is an EXPLOIT.

It was also said that it doesn't mean adjustments won't be made in the future. I.e. they can't ban people for it because they have straight out said "hey we purposely made it that way". However they will probably nerf this at some point in the future.

They said the same thing about Salvage for two years.
