Request to speak to the Senior Game Master

Outstanding! I never post in the forums. I do read. This thread, and you keeping it all real. Good work! I hope it works out for you and your friend. Merry Christmas!

[Rawrrior]

Yeah, they are pretty quick. The Lightning event is coming back in February to celebrate the release of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, so you will get another chance. I missed parts 2, 3 and 4 (I think there were 4 total?) of the Lightning Event due to Finals Week at my University, but I'm glad to be able to get another chance, myself, in a couple months! So don't worry!

Ohh, that's great! hopefully, i'll be able to get in on that, as well as you to!

Outstanding! I never post in the forums. I do read. This thread, and you keeping it all real. Good work! I hope it works out for you and your friend. Merry Christmas!

I hope so to, seeing Jhanaka reply and say they will investigate into his particular case has gotten my hopes back up from it's declining state! But anything can still happen yet >.< Jhanakas reply doesn't mean he will be unbanned, so heres to hoping further! Guhhhhh, the suspense!!

This just tells us all.. That regardless if live, phone call, or any kind of official support can't do anything but give you the same response, keep trying and don't loose hope! You just may never know if you'll get that lucky break!

And Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and seasons greetings to everyone! o.o My co-worker gave me a massage thingy to put on my desk chair for Christmas. Now i want to get home even faster >_<!

Rawrrior, I made a character on your world. Is there a particular active Free Company or Linkshell that you would re-join once you return to the game? I could go ahead and join it; that way, you and I could get in contact more easily in-game when the time comes! I did look up your character on the Lodestone and noticed that you had a FC of your own, so I wasn't sure if there were any others you would know of, or where your other FC members may have migrated to. Or, if you guys aren't so attached to Midgardsormr, you could always join us in Excalibur (although, it's a Legacy server. I think anyone can still join?)--our FC is a Social/Endgame group that is like a close family: very friendly, helpful and active members. ^^ This is all a bit off-topic, but I couldn't find a way to send a private message on these forums or the Lodestone.

Hey! :O!!

Me and Mister made our own FC, Waffle Bandits. We only had 6 members total. 2 left cause of us being inactive (derp), 1 is inactive (best friend who also canceled her account), and 1 who is still active lol. I could get her to invite you in whenever possible if you give me your characters name ! Her name is Shihaku. Whenever she's on, just tell her that Mrs Madam said you can have an invite in. I believe she can invite..

Maybe i'd make a character on there Though, we can never truly ditch Mrs Madam and Mister Sirs. But since that is a legacy server, we probably won't be able to afford anything with the inflated prices o___o!!
Yeah, no way to message on these forums or lodestone ): Best would of been to follow me on lodestone and comment on whatchamacallits.. Blogs. But i can't do any blogs with my account inactive ):

Mahhh i don't know if i should activate my account yet ): Wouldn't really play till i see if Mister Sirs gets unbanned or not.

[Kyousha]

I understand completely. I just want to help in any way I can. ^^ Hopefully this will all be resolved in your favor! Btw, my character's name is Nikori Periyaha (Now in both Excalibur and Midgardsormr).

Well, I gotta get ready for work. I work at Walmart and so it's going to be busy because the store is closing in a little over 3 hours... I'll be there during the madness. But I'll be back in-game/on these forums probably around 11:00 P.M. CST.

I feel for you guys. My wife and I play together to (Hey hey midgardsormr) I knew exactly how to do what he did to. Its was very tempting for myself to try it. Could of even bought a throwaway account (Whats 15 bucks really?) but i couldn't convince myself to do it because i know how this stuff goes down, we are IRL friends with Blizzard GMs, these companies don't play around with stuff like this. Their security between client and server is still pretty unsecure.

Glad to see you at least got a reply, the circumstances really suck for this as he did it with his white hat on and not black like a majority of the people on ownedcore. I wish you guys luck with the GM's and you have Sweet n Sour Chocobos support if he decided to come back! =) (Cecilia says hi!)

Well.. I think i would have expected this to be handled a little better than what it is. I would have never thought such a big company would be handling things like this. We expected a response.. A second chance.. A shot at a superior to have a 1v1 conversation with Mister Sirs privately to see if anything at all can be done about this ban. Not just sit here and not get a single official response or anything..

I mean, is it that hard to ask for a second chance? How can they ignore dedicated players/ fans like this? Even after all these hard times Mister, and even me, are going through just to be able to play again.. Should that tell Square Enix something? That we actually like this game they have pushed out, and even after this problem, we still want to come back to play?

I just don't know why they can't spare some of their time to work something out with him :/ If he gets a second chance, he sure as heck won't be tinkering around with the game anymore, and play it like a normal player.

I wouldn't be as much to complain if Mister Sirs was banned on the spot, instead of being sweeped up in blanket bans because he was following GM Jhanaka's wishes (leaving the spawned money in a 2nd retainer, that remained untouched since he deposited the money in it).

I know for a FACT none of the illegitimate gil was ever touched or removed from the retainer once it was put in, and know for a fact none of it was ever used before he reported it to SE, and i'm sure as heck willing to risk my account for it. We played together, so we would make one another our gear with whatever materials we bought from vendors, got from mobs, or the market.

The most wrong Mister Sirs did was snooping in the coding, and by doing so he found a large game breaking exploit, which he reported to SE, had the Senior GM appear before us in game, emails went back and forth explaining to SE how he did it, step by step. Was he banned for it? No. He was banned cause he did exactly what the Senior GM, Jhanaka told him to do. Leave all the spawned items in the retainer and not to use any of it, and cause of it, got banned when SE pushed out the blanket bans to every server.

So to us, what that told us once he was confronted by Jhanaka and weeks later, was that he did a good thing and wasn't punished for the hacking since it was such a large find. And with that, why can't he be unbanned? For heavens sake we just want to play together again where we left off! ;________;!

Is this really to much to ask with his situation? Yes this as amazed, and angered us both, but we are very much pushing that aside, and trying to get him unbanned to play again! It just boggles me why we can't get a official response, or a second change :/ Not even a mod dropping in and possibly saying something like "tell Mister Sirs to submit a ticket and we will pick it up to discuss the issue" or something.

I don't know how much more i must beg and plea to have him get a second chance :/ When every other official form of support refuses to help, this is where we turned to, with hopes we can get seen.

Again.. Please! D:! I'm not here to bash Square Enix and tell people of what they do or don't do, or to tell you how to feel about them, or to even cancel their accounts, no, we want to be seen, and possibly given a second chance, and have his account unbanned! We want to come back :/ I refuse to play without Misters Sirs. And making a new account, when we made these together.. Are just.. Ugh..

:/

Not jumping to conclusions, that's where the exploit was first discovered. It think the phrase is "lurk moar".

No one has mentioned anything about trying or using anything from "ownedcore?". You should read into a post more carefully before jumping to conclusions.

Not really sure what you mean by lurk moar O.o or have any idea what ownedcore is, and don't really want to know. IRL blizz gms? Those poor souls D: Unless it's not as terrible as i think it may be. Those GMS do seem to have fun when they reply to tickets and such. They are generally nice and helpful. I started playing again once the banning happen. Gotta log on and collect those gifts!

Yeah, we were very happy to get a reply! Now we have to wait patiently till he gets contacted or something. We really only have 1 friend left in FFXIV that we can play with if we are able to play together again, so if we do come back (hopefully) maybe we can group up some time ! I bet things have changed in these past few months. Someone told me mobs now drop gil? And. o.o Who's Cecilia? And.. o_o Hi Cecilia..!!

Hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas today and got what they wanted from Santa Claus !

[Kyousha]

Someone told me mobs now drop gil?

Yep, in dungeons, mobs now drop gil. It's not very much, though. I think it's less than 100 gil per kill? I'm not sure because I don't do dungeons very often, lol. You can still get significantly more gil by crafting and stuff.

Yeah, though selling in the market is hazardous since it can get you banned if you make to much.. Though 100ish per kill isn't bad i think

Mahhhhhhhh we want to plaaaayyy ;_______;

Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas Kyousha!

That is the first place that a specific exploit was leaked. I can confirm that was a completely separate exploit.
