new crafting glitch/hack

[Bodhi_Sattva]

Most disgusting behavior I have seen since this came to light this morning is people defending this behavior on FFXIV reddit. Putting on their junior defense attorney thinking caps and putting out a defense for this obvious criminal activity.

How dare you (they).

This is a community you are actively participating in. What they are doing to circumvent the system can only effect you negatively. For you to support or endorse anything like this or to try and IMAGINE a reason this is acceptable is appalling and speaks volumes for what kind of corrupt moral compass you might have.

This kind of behavior (support or defending it) is wrong.

It is obviously hacking and toxic to the game on so many levels.

Thanks to OP for posting this!

You really shouldn't post this but instead send this straight to SE. I know everyone's feelings about SE's customer service but by people posting screens of this, you got folk looking frantically on how to do it. I only judge this based on the fact that ever since I saw the first screenshot of this, its been happening more frequently. I honestly hate that this sort of thing is even occurring as I struggle to level all my crafts to max.

Oh, if they are stupid enough to do it...
SE is slow and obviously has no way to prevent such hacks from happening yet.
But they are known for banning cheaters pretty reliably, even if it takes a bit longer sometimes.
So, if someone thinks about using these hacks he or she could just uninstall the game right away, because that account will be closed for sure.

you realize the one at 43 is the person who took the snapshot and the person who did the exploit to 50 is another person, right?

all these bots, hackers, gil buyers, and what not.

It greatly discourages me to play FFXIV, I love the game, but there's just to much wrong here.
I lvled my gatherers up the legal way, seeing all these bots teleporting from node to node and getting away with it is just a slap in the face for my hard work.
Everyday I report tons, every single one I encounter, but they keep coming...
Now this new hack, how many more will come?

FFXIV was released to early.
And yet again I will say.... Do what Enmasse does! Enmasse is Tera's publisher, Tera is a poplulair game yet there are no goldspammers to be seen, not bots, no hacks.
Square if you don't want this to fail again do what Enmasse does and find a way to prevent this from happening.

Few things:

1) It involves leves hence on the pay roll
2) going payroll 2 to pay roll 3 = gaining 90k gil
3) Going payroll 3 to payroll 4 = gaining 900k gil

Being as he gained 3 levels and 90k between payroll 2 and 3, he would have had to have gained 1.6million exp, thus gaining levels 20-35, not 20-23.

Then again from 23-34 he gained 900k gil, which would require enough exp to level 3 crafters 1-50 and only gained 11 levels.
