FC fraud?

[Nora_of_Mira]

the latest update says something about fc fraud could an admin or someone from development please explain what this is about and what was done

if they told you what they fixed, the people committing the fraud will figure out a new way to exploit something. Standard procedure from almost all game development companies.

That being said, they didn’t fix the most glaring offender when it comes to FC fraud, which is the ability to promote above one’s own rank. That should be done away with, because a lot of the FC fraud stories I hear about are people promoting themselves (or others) to higher ranks in order to gain access to things like important tabs in the FC chest or the gil, if the leader has a rank of officers that can access it. That issue needs to be addressed because it is highly abused (and it makes zero sense why you can promote someone to a higher rank than yourself, or even promote yourself, in the first place).

I get that, but I'm willing to bet Square considers that the FC's responsibility to work out amongst each other (unless Square stated otherwise).

If people figured out how to dupe items, or mess with the game's code in anyway to fudge rankings (w/e that is even worth), I imagine Square to jump in and hotfix like an angry goose.

Which company wouldn't lol? I know Rockstar fixes money glitch within hours of being found, so people usually releases their founding friday night. Otherwise people that abuse said system get sanctioned one way or another.
