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.
I’m not sure if the vulnerability you described exists or not. However, the symptoms the OP describes, removed from party, logged in at a different location then was last, missing Gil from both character and retainers, sounds more like a compromised account then what you are describing.

OP,

There has been some good advice here. Provided your account was compromised, you should be able to get a 1 time rollback that will restore most of what you lost, depending how far back they have to go. I would add that you should run a virus scan on your PC in case there is malware that stole your login information.
