Please help me! This post is my last resort T_T

Hello,

My name is Arlekiel Dukiel.

Im a fan of FFXIV and well, im a proud legacy member!


I have a small issue, and well this is my last resort T_T and hopefully Tanaka or even some community members can help me T_T


Im from Mexico, and well my computer its somehow outdated.. I try to play at low spec but tbh the game is unplayable for me T_T even at low spec..

Everysingle time I try to play, my pc crashes or turns off because of the heating.

I currently have a pentium 4, and some graphic card (no idea the model).

Im saving for a better computer, but :S well tbh I ended up spending some money in the sub, in order to do my best to try and support the game. Im positive that in December or November im going to have enough money for a new computer.


Well my issue is related to the gobbue mount T_T. I tried to use another graphic card, in order to improve the performance of the game and I ended up burning my friends graphic card and my old graphics card... now im stuck with the inbuilt graphics card... :S I cant run the game and im about to cry... because I love the game and I love final fantasy, im a hardcore fan! and I was trying to do my best in order to get the gobbue mount and well :( now I cant...

With all my issues and my Dino-PC (a friend calls it that way) I was able to get to Pug lvl 24... T_T and I feel so frustrated that im soo closee to get the gobbue mount :(

I dont know what else to say, im writing this because I hope a GM or idk maybe Tanaka can read this, or someone else and maybe someone can help me T_T


Ty so much!


PD: Sorry for my bad english T_T

T_T im so desperate that I dont mind, ty so much!

Is there a way to contact you?
I can be on skype, msn, or whatever you use or want :)

If your PC manages to actually run the game but shuts down because of overheating, you should probably try cleaning the heat sink and fan in it.

I did :( but it used to overheat waaay too much, everytime I was playing FFXIV.

What I used to do, is to play until it shutsdown and then give it like 30 minutes before trying to play again..

But :S well that was before I burnt my graphics card :S now with the unbuilt graphics card its impossible X_X I cant even get to start it

X_X! Ty for your help!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really sorry to read your having trouble with your computer and having a hard time trying to get it to work. I hope to you get your gobbue mount somehow too.
But I'm going to warn you to be careful how to intend to solve this issue and is "not wise" to trust other people on the fourms and give them your account info.
Please be careful Arlekiel.

And if you do happen to do so, and even if it turns out they were honorable and got you your goobue mount and nothings missing or anything... please change your passwords and stuff right after, to make sure you don't leave the temptation up for them.

Good luck with that.

OP is from Balmung if anyone wants to help him get lv30 fast :)

<T_T<

^T_T^

>T_T>

Sorry to hear about your junky computer amigo.
Anyone know if Newegg can ship to Mexico? Or are you just from Mexico and live in elsewhere?

I feel bad for people who couldn't get the goobbue and I wish they gave something like that via a quest in 2.0 for everyone.

The ability to call it instantly everywhere improves the quality of the game and I wish people could enjoy this game. We already have plenty of exclusive event gear don't take away the happy goobbues from everyone.

There are companies out there that 'rent' computers for a month or two?
If there's one near you, that's an option.

Giving out your account information or having it accessed other than yourself is in violation of your user agreement and may end up in the termination of your account all together.

3.1 Sharing Account Information. You may not share your account or login information (such as your Square Enix ID and password) with anyone except your legal guardian, your minor child, or SQUARE ENIX. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and login information, even from your friends and family. If you violate this provision, you may unexpectedly lose access to your account to a third party without recourse against SQUARE ENIX. SQUARE ENIX will not be obliged to credit your SQUARE ENIX Account with Crysta or other points or awards, which may have been used by a third party as a result of the violation of this clause.

I'm sorry about your current circumstances preventing your ability to getting those final few ranks for your mount. But I would not advise you to ask for assistance on this matter in a public forum. Seeing it may put whoever decides to help you at risk of account suspension/termination as well.

Hmm, maybe I can help with that being from Balmung too.

SE will lock account if accessed from different IP and unable to prove identity I think.

It doesn't say anywhere there that Square Enix would terminate an account over sharing the details... it's just a safety measure that makes it clear they're not responsible for any resulting damages/theft.

Rule 3.1 (Account sharing) is under the list of prohibited rules, it states that violating ANY of those rules can end up in account termination.

I'm willing to lvl up character but not using account~.

Rather than asking for help on the forums, I suggest asking for help from a personal friend.

Pay them a visit, bring your game disk and cd key, install it on their presumably better computer, log in with your own creds, get to L30, laugh at game's flaws a bit, get the gobbue horn and eat some nachos.

That way, you're not giving out account info, because you are still the one accessing your account.

If you follow this route make sure your friend is on an unlimited download package and allow up to 5 hours to download and install all the updates

Yea, don't break the ToS guys. He should be taking his game discs or HDD to a friends house.
If you deny that account sharing is against the ToS then check yourself.
Also, lol, OP so cute calling on Tanaka for help.

this topic...
made me smile
but it hurt

You should consider the minimum/required specs before installing a game.

I know it's painful but that's just how it goes. Hopefully 2.0 will be light enough for your pc.

Mexico...... the only place other than Japan where overcoming latency isn't the biggest challenge :3

it's still available until 1.23 a

Lol wow some of you really know how to shit up a thread, either way OP has got his gobbue now, thanks tto Mihaya for helping OP and few people in Balmung that offered help, much appreciated.

We weren't "shitting up" anything, we were clearly stating that this could get him banned, and before buying a game he should check his system reqs to make sure he meets them.

Glad to hear he got his mount! Thanks to the people who helped him out and didn't pointlessly bitch about the ToS.

Sometimes, the rules need to be broken. ;)

Hanging around on these boards every day ... the community really is good. That never includes everyone everywhere, but it is better here than most other places.

Pointless? Some of the things suggested were against ToS. He could have ended up with no access to his account. period. let alone a mount. Nobody is ever above the rules, under no exceptions. I didn't see YOU do anything proactive in this situation either, other than just whining about the people simply reiterating the ToS, to prevent him and others from breaking it and possibly end up loosing their accounts.

"Sometimes the rules need to be broken" ?

People only say that when they are lazy and want to take the easier way to achieving their goals. You make it sound like you have experience in this department.

There are legacy players that haven't made it to lvl 30 yet?

it would be even easier to stfu and let them help the guy with no harm done in the end though

You mean easier to NOT tell him he could possibly lose his entire account due to this? Sure it may not happen, but posting this on the public SE forum, someone with the power might see it, might investigate, and bad things might happen. Again, will they? Who knows. It however still could result in the worst case scenario, losing his account.

I work for a company that deals with gamers and their accounts and such, many people break the ToU and such for this company all the time, and then go ballistic when we can't and won't unban them.

I still think OP knows how to read the ToS. Rules are made to be bent and broken, otherwise isnt fun.

Nobody is getting banned or openly 'broke' any rules (look at how i stated people on balmung helped the OP?), i just offered doesn't mean i did it. Though while obviously people knows what happens, accounts are reviewed on case per case basis and i am sure as hell devs or reps aren't half retarded enough to ban things like this while things like RMT still run rampant.

Yay welldone!

Yea, I dont even recognize the people who cam into this thread and shat all over everything. Its like they saw something they could muck up and got all giddy with epeen excitement.

the ToS is to protect players and SE from legal action. the ToS also clearly states we are not allowed to reverse engineer anything.

This includes doing any testing to figure out how stats effect what. As this is technically reverse engineering. we aren't making profit on it, sure. but it is still technically against the ToS.

this is like a restaurant saying they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. just because they can kick you out at anytime does not mean they will.
------------

That being said it is a bit irresponsible to not check to see if your PC can run the game first. there is a benchmark available online. i would encourage the OP to check for benchmarks before making purchases in the future, especially when buying new games.

Good afternoon folks!

First off, reaching out for help is not a bad thing, but sharing account information can be very dangerous and the Terms of Service does state that sharing account information is not allowed, which is why one should be very careful if they go down that route.

Not only does it break the rules, but you can possible have your accounts compromised. No doubt, some friendly/honest folks helped out our friend, but it was a VERY big risk that was taken. Once you give over your information, you sign away your items, your gil and, possibly, your account. I have seen "best friends", "spouses", "brothers/sisters" and even parents do some nasty things to other players' accounts; taking all the gear then shouting racial slurs or using third party programs are just a few examples. You take a very big risk each and every time you share account information and accounts are lost daily.

I am glad that this event did not turn out poorly and I will be closing this thread as the issue is resolved.

Thank you for your understanding.
