Character Cloning - The New Cheat?

[Takeva]

People are really silly. I know most of you have to be older then 18. It's just an innocent word. When I see people say words I don't like, sometimes offensive words toward me, I giggle.

I'm pretty sure the use of "toon" isn't going anywhere, so should really not pay attention to it. Attacking someone on a word they have possibly used for a while now is really silly.

you know, as much as i hate to say it but i enjoyed your idiotic responses when your 'interpreter' friend went out of town and you had to reply with FFIX gibberish. maybe its time to call him back to make yourself more 'important'!!11!!1

ps. stop being a coward and start logging into your real account. 407 posts from your miner alt is sad.

Mind leaving any personal bs between you two and not use unrelated threads to bring up past arguments?

Anyway, back on subject that has been terribly derailed over one word the OP used, (Seriously guys, if someone is used to calling their characters "toons", they'll keep doing it. Sure, I don't use the term, nor do I like it, but it's immature to bash on someone for it. Stop making up rules on what words you can and can't use.), it could just be a gil seller using a dual boxer. I used to see this a lot in 1.0 where characters called things like Aejhefpej Bkegajkgsd were identical to each other with same gear spawning one on another and then moving around, or some going their own way. It would be crazy though if there was a way to clone your character though, and of course should be fixed soon. I just can't begin to imagine how it'd be possible.

Your title says "character cloning" but then you mention something called a toon. What's a toon? I know the game has no cartoons in it so that can't be what you're referring to. Is it a new mount or something?

usually using some kind of third party software to link the controls to all running clients.

PC game client supports this natively for controllers.

Really? Are you 12?

@Crimen why did you reply to a post that happened one hour ago. People already explained the cheat like 5 times in this thread. Let it die.

Were the names near identical and a bunch of gibberish? Then it was RMT, though i doubt it as RMT usually dont take the time to get to 50 an gear their jobs, unless they were maybe going to sell the accounts. Usually these days they just create a miner an bot-mine a low lv zone for shards. If the names were regular words, then most likely I would say dual-boxer, tho I dont know alot of dual-boxers who have identical jobs/characters goin on, an i'm a dual-boxer myself, i play my character an my wifes character all the time. Most likely, I would say the simplest solution is prolly the best one, so I would bet gil that it was just a coincedence. When zoning in from a tele people can spawn o top of eachother all the time, an its entirely possible that many of them could be wearing same gear. The reason I say this is because, it would be impossible to clone a character. Each character is registered to an account, and each character has a characterID, so logging in 2 of the same character would cause one to logout.

Nope. Why?

[Eekiki]

Yep, good to know THAT'S what you took away from this....

That's what I took away from it, too.

Really? Are you 12?

No. Is that why I don't know what a "toon" is?

Yes.

I'm starting to think this is a lala-complex thing...

[Skivvy]

Sorry I know this is off topic but what is wrong with toon? I really don't get what your issue is...

FF players have this idea that their characters are far better than mere "toons", and typically shun/mock/disregard anyone who uses it. The hate for the word was even stronger in XI. Always made me laugh. They blame the word on the WoW crowd, whom they also despise, but the word was used well before that.
