[URGENT] Game Exploit that need patching immediately DEATH CLAIMING

[origamikitsune]

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ve-abandonment was the first (of four or five) posts about this that I found, and was posted by Reikia.

Here is what Baccanale (mod) said in the thread Reikia posted about the problem:

"Greetings again, Reika!
Thank you for your patience with waiting for a response to the investigation. After thoroughly investigating the matter, the development team did find this to be a potential problem with the game, and the matter is being worked on at this time. I recommend keeping an eye on both the forums and http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/index.html for any news about any further developments. In addition, it is highly advised that players refrain from replicating this, since it would be considered a very serious violation, and serious action may be taken against players if they are found to be in violation. We greatly appreciate the heads-up! "

I suspect that claiming issues are likely to be part of the new combat system since they haven't been addressed specificly yet.

Well at least they are aware of the issue, however we will still likely need to wait until mid June for patch 1.18 to come out for it to be addressed, I'm just hoping they read this thread as well and see that it is not only an issue, but a serious recurring one. I also made sure to clearly screenshot the specific example of this exploit occurring and those involved, so hopefully they will take that into account too. I'm pretty sure if they took action against the offending individuals it would at least discourage others from attempting it. Even just giving them a firm in game talking to would be enough, Jail is scary, especially when most of them have put a decent amount of time into their characters, they just chose not to claim properly.

That's not the same issue Origamikitsune >.>

This is about people keeping claim on NMs by not returning, not abandoning faction leves and still getting the rewards. I imagine the response would be the same though.

All that needs to be done until a fix happens though is a community rep has to come here and officially state it is a serious violation and that it's a potentially bannable offense. That should scare most of the people away from doing it.
