TOS clarification

[Kyte]

There is one prominent member of the broadcast FFXI community (or at least has been for a while) who was banned for Salvage duping and allowed to return.

There was another player who was on my LS when I was on Siren and helped out on a lot of stuff. I eventually found out, though (and that my LS completely withheld the information from me), which basically forced me to report my own account to the STF for any possible malfeasance, and to find another server to play on.

I notice you used to have your character (and maybe still do if you changed your character name) on FFXIAH. Technically that site gathers data in a similar manner as a parser. Do you think you should get banned for using that site?

Uhhh, you're missing part of your statement here. You may wish to edit and try again. If you believe I am using a parser, that definitely is for the Special Task Force to examine, as I said before.

FFXIAH, may I assume? Depends on whether Square-Enix allows it...

Square Enix allows a lot of things. It's still not legit. Even if you stop using FFXIAH, you've already used it. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Several points:

1) We had a discussion about this of the situation regarding the Souleater-KC DRKs running over Absolute Virtue. There's a difference between illegitimacy and illegality (and I think you wish to charge me with the latter, not the former). The Souleater-KC zerg situation was not illegal, but it was declared illegitimate.

2) This is not the first time I've had this discussion with people, as there are people who believe the Wiki is also illegal.

I'd suggest contacting the Special Task Force -- especially because your last statement is completely correct.

Yes I did, I must have been really tired when I wrote that lol

Anywho, the point is that the line between "cheating" and "being legit" or whatever is a little broader than you are giving credit.

I disagree entirely. Any "broadening" is a function of Square-Enix being unwilling to enforce their rules, plus a player-base who has taken great joy in taking advantage of same.
