My friend was hacked while logged in

So is the summoning bell safe to use again?

Thank god I got AAA! I'm still in good hands!

At least their response is suitably swift this time. Kudos to them.

One should also take note of the fact that the only reason this RMT business exists is because there are people willing to break the rules and buy in-game currency from 3rd parties. If people want to buy something, there is a market for it, legal or not.

Those people are just as guilty in my opinion. To me it's like drug deals. If you buy drugs from a drug dealer you're a criminal. If you sell drugs you are a criminal. If you help traffic drugs for a dealer you're a criminal.

No joke, Not kidding.. but the people who are doing this bot hack need to be shot dead. Not kidding, any hacker who hacks other peoples personal stuff for any reason except helping said person some how needs to be wiped off the face of this planet.

Seems a bit strong advocating murder for anything...

...I'd support something moderately unpleasant happen to them; maybe stub their toe on a concrete step barefoot

I'd support this too. Maybe stepping on a couple of LEGOs as well. That seems appropriate.
That said, hope they get sued or whatever equivalent of law they're liable to. As big of a loophole this was, it's still inexcusable.

No worries, SE called over the priest. He blessed the servers, all evil guys should be gone!

Wow, it's amazing what can happen in such a short amount of time. This literally blew up right after I logged out last night...

This might be the one and only time I say I'm glad I have to wake up at 5am on Fridays to go to work!

So, while sitting at work, I read this entire thread. From 6am-8am is pretty slow for me, basically I just sit here and make sure my employees aren't goofing off until trucks start coming in. I never saw an "Insufficient gil" message pop up while I was playing, so I assume I am good. No one seemed to report money disappearing from their retainer, just off their person, so I'm good there too. I know SE said they will refund the affected, but I haven't heard anyone confirm they have been refunded yet and I am worried about the timetable they plan to use in doing so. I feel sorry for anyone this happened too, truly. I don't know what I would do if I had to break it to everyone in my FC that the money we have been working on SO HARD to amass for housing in December is just gone...
