My friend was hacked while logged in

(all jokes aside, this is not a hacker, this is a bug. Think logical, your retainer has both access to your gil and the marketboard... this is why banks and auctions are always two differant NPC's in most games.)

That is not logical at all.

Now this has me worried. I spent a long time in the gridania market area around the retainer bell right around the time people are reporting this happened. Sorting my inventory and getting rid of some junk. I even had some random person /tell hello to me. I didnt even pay attention to my gil before getting booted for maintenance.

How a game can have such godawful security is beyond me, especially considering SE has 10+ years of experience with MMOs. I honestly have no words, please, please try to defend this somehow, I need the entertainment and cheap laughs.

The same conspiracy of ISPs that make the game lag in order to make SE look bad are now trying to hack the game, thus far the only known defense is having your camera zoomed all the way out.

I know this is irrelevant to the actual report, but I think after this I'm going to feel more furious for every gil spammer that spams me.

Hey, they can't sell you anything if they don't make you poor first.

They removed a lot of the checks in 1.0 to reduce the server latencies. I guess they removed too much.

RMT need to die. They need to be eradicated. The fact that such worthless "people" exist on this planet disgusts me.

To anyone who buys gil: YOU ARE FUNDING THESE VERMIN! If there was no market, these filth wouldn't be infesting us.

Thanks. Every time I speak my mind about them, people look at me weirdly and say I'm too extreme or immature. It sure feels good that I'm not the only one who thinks that account bans are too lenient a punishment for this.

It's obviously not something that could ever practically happen nor be enforced, but I am of the strong opinion that once you wilfully violate people enough, you have to be "taken out of the game". A slap on the wrist leaving you to just inflict suffering on others is no punishment at all.
