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.

Any word on how to get our lost monies reimbursed? Maybe I missed the notice... Do we have to contact a GM in game? Will SE mail us our lost money?

They said they would email you then follow up in game with GM chat.

This is a notification about the countermeasures that will be taken for players who were affected by the Market security issue reported from earlier.

For players who were affected, we will notify you through Email Address 1 that is registered on you Square Enix Account after the maintenance have been completed.
After the Email is sent, a Game Master will correspond within the game. Until then, you will be able to play the game as usual. If in any case, our players are logged out when the Game Master corresponds, they will attempt again at a later time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.

...deleted, decided not to post technical details on this in fear of getting myself banned for a theory.

Thanks Jilly. So, I don't need to post a ticket, or do I?

I would say only if you don't get any response at all ...

For further assistance, whether this problem affects you or not, if you do not receive any notification, then please refer to the details concerning this Market issue from the in-game Support Desk

.

But I may just be interpreting it incorrectly.

Umm... WoW had this kind of security at the beginning. Search around, I bet you can find post about people complaining of dupe hacks, packet editing and other various things for every online game.

Yeah... in 2004. Awful rationalization is awful.

Store your gil on your retainer at the inn, til I'm sure this is fixed I won't bedealing with my retainers outside the inn and to be sure to store all but 5K of my gil between both my retainers.

Coupled with the toxic community (the likes of which I have never experienced before), this security mishap clearly pushes me beyond my limits of tolerance.

I can no longer support this game.

Ever played call of duty or any other online game on psn? I have seen far worse attitudes in that game then in FFXIV.

Has anyone got this resolved? I've gotten an email saying that I need to catch up with a GM in game.. also have gotten an mail in game saying the same thing... but after getting off work and logging on around 3pm pst... I've been waiting till now and still no GM has talked to me yet. Would be nice if they let me know what's the time frame to catch a GM on to talk to me, I'm not sure I can wait all day for one to show up sometimes.
