Sounds like the player you promoted is/was working together with the RMT. With a name like that how could anyone think it wasnt. It does suck that that happened to you guys. Not sure what else I can say then what's been said. Sell and save hopefully you some reimbursement for what was stolen.

While I thought maybe it was RMT related, I don't think it was. The "RMT" looking name has thought put in to it to confuse the reader with the use of I and lowercase L's along with combinations of v's and w's. Most RMT names I've come across are random button mashings of letters on the keyboard or randomly generated names using the naming conventions.

I think this is just some punk kid and his punk friends running scams on people.

Just because the name looks like the crap RMTs come up with doesn't mean it is. Most likely the person who promoted the guy who stole the items/gil are the same person.

yea same thing happend to my fc. they really need to fix this

[Noshpan]

This is most unfortunate, OP. I hope it gets rectified. I honestly never knew it was possible to promote someone to a rank higher than your own (I've played in games where you couldn't promote characters to the same rank as yourself unless you were the guild leader).

I will be passing this information along to the FCs my Miqo'te are in. (My other 6 characters are not in FCs.)

SE needs to stop assuming that all the players will behave and not screw other players over.

Sorry for what happened to you and I hope you get, at least, your gil back.

But I do have a question which I'm kinda confused by:

we gave that FC's leader his own rank so he could form his coil static group.

Why did this guy need a rank just to form a coil static within your group? We have members that create coil statics and they don't need a higher rank given to them to do it. Just a little confused by this...

He wanted a rank to distinguish his group from other people in the free company. His rank was "Static Leader" and his static members were "Static Onions". (We use an Onion Knight theme for ranks).

I didn't think anything of it when we created the extra ranks. I have an alt character on another server who's FC has specialty ranks for crafting/gathering, and other random things.

But I digress, the point of this thread isn't about our failures... it's about fixing this so it doesn't happen to others. There are several people who responded to this thread that didn't know about this.

This

My FC Also uses special titles as ranks for those I truly trust which has individual rights depending on how much I trust them. While I am sure none of them would screw me over my FC is also going through a merge with a FC that splintered off from us around launch and occasionally one of them gets promoted temporarily to a specialized rank to invite the mass of people coming in. I have it set up to prevent this kind of thing from happening but only because I was online when it happened and was notified by their FC leader as soon as he found out.

Well regardless, I am sorry that it happened and I hope that Se is able to rectify the situation.
