My friend was hacked while logged in

[Zenaku]

People been getting hacked in this game sense release. Now it seem they found a better way to hack you and i'm guessing does not matter if you have a token or not. Seeing how they hacked you while playing lol. SE datacenter been mess up sense release if someone can use cheat engine to get any item in the game they want. Then is it hard to believe that all the people been hacked was just SE issue and not the players? I'm sure some people got hacked by going to rmt site and checking there email and clicking on fake SE emails. But i'm sure most of it is due to SE system being mess up.

I hope they get fix and people get there gil back or this game going to lose a lot of players.

1st off i did not lose any gil but people close to me did, i do hope you all get reimbursed and can continue to play this great game!

On another note though, SE should follow-up on this opportunity. i mean its like some kinda real Thieves struct at peoples money purses while in the marketplace, just like in a real MarketPlace!. if you had your gil in the bank(retainers) you were safe. but if you had it on your self they came along and cut all the fat money purses and walked away none the wiser. This would make a great Story/quest or something. Just saying.

Have fun all ! see yuo in-game

They have, thats why maintenance was performed early last night, and why they didn't tell anyone it was going to be done early so that the Frauds couldn't escalate the hack further. Their IP address have been found and SE is taking legal actions against them. all people who have been effected by this will be contacted in-game by a GM to see about reimbursements

Oooh Legal Action....sounds scary...

No, I mean they need to get a handle on this stuff in its entirety. There are still accounts being hacked, there are still RMT'ers spamming in shouts and tells and there are still a plethora of bots all over the place. In my opinion, they need to stop allowing these hackers/botters/RMT'ers to go around so the STF can follow the crumbs and have their big "sting" operation. They need to implement a zero tolerance policy ASAP, start doling out mass IP bans and squash these peoples accounts for good.

Judging by some forums, PLAYERS in general can actually do quite a lot. XI wasn't 'nearly ruined' by RMT until SE started banning them and IP blocking and they retaliated. I get what you were trying to say but SE took care of the situation in XI fine in terms of RMT, but it was ruined by Players using hacks and mods to "make the game playable."

Did you play XI? The economy was at a point where legit players couldn't afford to buy anything because RMT completely ran the show. Leaping Boots were like 2 million gil. O. Kote were like 8 million gil. On top of that, you had to deal with claim bots. RMT screwed that game up big time for a good while. Either way, it doesn't really matter. This situation is pretty insane, and trying to make excuses for SE is foolish.

I have a token and am on PC for the record. Also I don't see why you risk squat by being online. Just do not go near the summoning bell in town by markets. I don't recall but it is either when you are near it or actually click on it that you'll either lose your money or get an error message about not having enough gil to make a transaction.

Nah, that was more because of Rusty Cap fishing. And legit players where doing that.

Did you play XI?

Yep, still do actually - The only time the economy got screwed up was in 2005 when they sold 1 million gil per $1. That hurt the economy for awhile but players basically requiring you to use Fill mode and clipper which hurt the actual gameplay because they can Pos hack, run through walls and flee to almost every NM (and players, end-game specifically used claim bots too, remember Nasa and its drama?) and such inside and outside of Abyssea (when it got really widely used) was more detrimental to the game than what the RMT did to it. Which is why I said I get what you meant but SE took care of the RMT situation in XI just fine, meaning they'll get a handle on it here, but players ruined XI much more than RMT did.

Rusty Fishing was done by everyone in the know how, also, the Tavanazian Panty resell? Yeah that wasn't RMT. No one is making excuses for SE but simply saying it's not just RMT hurting these games and at the least SE will handle the RMT situation and hopefully quick.
