Elite Hunt with SE ... nothing for free

[Wulfyn]

I think they were hoping for or more friendly helpful community. Players don't pay a sub to then have to pay another player access to stuff. Who knows who is and isn't selling currency? The point ie: like DF is you should help your fellow adventurer, instead of preying on them. When another player deliberately blocks another player from accomplishing a task with demand for gil, you don't see anything wrong with that? Pay me! No? F you I wont tell you where it is and just kill it.

Not sure what game you were playing...

I could say the same for you,

SE dropped the largest banhammer known to existence years after they had all the associated data and information and back-handed witty compliance needed to nail those very successful linkshells who thought needing to Bot/Dupe/Glitch/Abuse was the best idea since sliced bread.

What people don't understand is that this situation could very well be the start of something nasty and game-breaking for the progression of players and the game itself.

The last thing we need is LiveJournals, Tumblrs, Twitters, Facebooks filled with giant speeches made from the top 5% of the game players QQ'ing about how "innocent" their antics were. If you're cheating, you're cheating no way around that.(It did happen by the way. Most cases were beyond pathetic.)

If you're selling runs, it's up to the player to associate themselves with cheaters but if they get caught in the fire, what are they going to say?

"Uhhh, I didn't know?" Yeah good luck getting out of that.

How people run their linkshells is up to them. It's not an issue as some of you people are calling it. They can charge 1 billion gil for entry if they want.

Not sure what game you were playing, but claiming bots were part and parcel of HNM in XI. If you wanted to get hold of any of them consistently you pretty much needed claiming assistance. Or some other shell with bots would beat you to the claim.

Of course this wasn't so much the case later on, but when Kings and Cerb/Khimaira/Tiamat were in full demand, you can bet your ass all of the top shells had people using claim bots. Serket is a daft example, it wasn't worth camping for any serious HNM shell. Nobody cared about NQ behemoth either, the only reason to kill it was to get ToD for the next window. Post Abyssea is was pretty common to see him walking around unclaimed.

And SE did learn from it, they stopped making ground HNM's in XI, or made them harder to bot claim e.g. Ixion and Sandworm.

It's funny because I did FFXI endgame for years during the KB/Fafhogg/Aspid and Dragons era and the most prominent claim botters were the small LS that had in their mind, just like you, that everybody and their mother used them and that was confirmed when the SE did the banhammer of the century in the Aht Urgan expension and yet nearly no one I knew (and I knew the leadership over every LS worth a damn on Bismarck) was banned but lo and behold, so many "innocent" players unfairly banned from their little endgame LS

And it's begun on my server. Just saw someone spamming /shout to advertise selling Rank A and S kills for 100k.

I will ask for double the money if they dont get the kill and get me the reward. I would just stand there doing nothing in the zone since i pay for a service.

I was with you until your said that people that sell runs are cheatear. How do you even get to that conclusion?!

It's an issue when these linksells are monopolizing said content with their zergs (and other things that you all know), even if there's some of them that are legit.

How is this a hunt problem?
People have been selling primal runs and whatnot long time.
