    There’s a packet exploit (which square Enix still hasn’t fixed I see) that allows people to “increase” their Gil amount. But the Gil isn’t “increasing” out of thin air. The “increase” is happening due to basically stealing it from other players. Pretty sad how they prioritize reducing 2B’s bottoms, but don’t prioritize House Botting, Packet Exploits, and the like.

    Have any proof of this? Cuz he's describing getting kicked out like when someone else logs into your character.

    As far as I know, your packet exploit with gil was fixed years ago, that was common around market boards in limsa especially. I don't think I've heard that mentioned since 2014...


    OP likely had a weak password or a compromised account elsewhere with the same username/password.

    What I’m describing does just that. Each character has a medius ID, and (I’m obviously not going to show a full tutorial on the forums on how it works) when you reverse that, and make that ID your own, the player is kicked, but in the process their Gil is stolen.

    This exploit was found recently, and the exploit you’re thinking about isn’t the same thing. I like reverse engineering, but I don’t like it when people use it to cheat or troll players online with it.

    Well I hope you filed a bug report then, cuz it's pretty hard for them to fix something that hasn't been reported.

    Sure did. I personally hope OP’s issue is an account-compromise. But from what I’ve read, I really don’t think so. Whoever did this, I just hope they realize that MMO exploitation that interferes with other player’s gameplay can get them in some serious legal trouble..

    Legal trouble? Over video game currency? Mind to elaborate?

    Also, the OP has many posts about connection issues and errors in his post history. Maybe stealing his neighbours unprotected Wifi or from the Starbucks underneath his appartment..

    Right, because anyone with connectivity problems is a thief.

    Because that’s definitely what’s going on here. Yep. Mhm.

    No. I doubt OP is the Wi-Fi thief you’re claiming him to be. This 100% sounds like he put his login credentials into a website he shouldn’t have, and then suffered the consequences. I’ve seen several people post similar stories, and they were all people who were phished by the Twitch scams.

    Sounds like you're mixing up FO76 with FFXIV. This "theory" of yours, which you're claiming as fact, smells so much like BS that I'm looking around to make sure I'm not actually in a shop with easily destroyed porcelain...
