Order of the Blue Garter: Open Recruitment Season

[HiirNoivl]

This thread is on fire... someone quick! Get an extinguisher!

[Zozor]

I can't speak for everyone but in my opinion the Blue Garter name is not something that needs to be distanced from the current LS members.

I joined BG in FFXIV, but I remembered them from FFXI and WoW. To me the BG name is synonymous with excellent game play and dedication. The BG named attracted me to the LS.

The core BG players enhance the BG name with each new influx of content in FFXIV, and this builds on an already strong presence in FFXI and WoW.

Obviously there has been a large amount of mud slinging in this thread, but thousands of gamers look to BG for the best strategies. They check BG before making expensive or time-consuming gear choices to ensure that they're maxing out their character as best they can. This is the same now as it was for many years in FFXI and WoW. It has always been a highly public group of people, and focusing on the negative isn't going to tarnish my admiration for all of the things its founding members and current core membership have accomplished.

I'll do it live!

oh lord, another person that doesn't seem to read the TOS and tries to justify the usage of third party tools, even if SE doesn't allow it...

Using third party programs or tools in FINAL FANTASY XIV is strictly prohibited since they allow users to gain an unfair advantage over other players. The use of programs or tools within FINAL FANTASY XIV that allow certain continuous actions to be performed automatically are often referred to as absentee play, which is also prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Additionally, during the course of an absentee play investigation, players may be requested to respond to or comply with a GMs instruction. Failure to do so is consider a violation and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the account.

The following activities are also prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV.
•Modifying, analyzing, integrating and reverse engineering game data
•Utility creation and distribution
•Exploiting SQUARE ENIX programming that does not run as intended to gain profit or damage other players

you conveniently forgot to bold this part.

Also people have been using it for over a year now even posting screens of parser results, yet SE does nothing about it, in fact SE links BG as one of the best gaming communities in official letters.

Cry all you want you are grasping at straws by trying to use a parser as a way of crying hacks

I do provide many services, yes.

[Churchill]

Twentytwo just getting trolled by haters now, not sure why you're even responding lol

[Tricksy]

Why is a linkshell recruitment thread still up on the general forums?? Am I the first to point this out?

[Molly_Millions]

Calling a parser a hack is really grasping at straws guys. I have to agree there. Everyone I know that cares about their performance in-game uses one.

no shit huh?

No one is crying "OMGHAXX!" It's the fact that it still lies under "Third Party Tool" usage against the TOS, it doesn't have to give anyone an unfair advantage, not only that, it analyzes game data, something that was also mentioned in the TOS.
The creators of the parser already had cease and desist orders by SE before anyway.
