SE, Please fix this FC exploit

[Gamer3427]

I would seriously question the person who did the promoting, regardless of the issue of promoting above your own rank. Seriously, that players name didn't throw up any red flags?

They were more than likely in it together, and the OP realizes this, as they mentioned, "The person who did this is still hopping from FC to FC to try and scam them. He begs to be given permissions which will allow him access to their FC chest," in another post. As you pointed out about the name, I'm sure it was likely the 3rd ranked person that they are referring to.....

I figured they were referring to the person who actually stole the gil and items, not the person who they merged FC's with.

Nah. They merged with a smaller FC, and the ex leader of that FC was given promotion rights to assumedly below their rank and they were not given access to take things out of the FC chest. They brought in someone with an obviously RMT name and promoted that person above themselves and that person stole everything.

Heists like this are clearly planned. On the 11th day, it will be executed. This solves nothing.

It does solve it, because it's not SE's job to make poor decisions in anyones Free company, the leader is stop giving the power to promote to others.

Also the power to invite. That's what the application is for if someone wants to join they will, I don't know how many times when i didn't have a FC someone kept tossing me random invites, because you want the FC to be full take a page out of FFXI and have 1 leader its their job to keep things in order not SE's.

All you can do is ask SE to make some fixes and they aren't going to overhaul the whole FC if something sounds great they might consider it.

Though as I said its up to the leader and trust me stop having your members invite and then putting full access to everything that is on you. poor decision making.

There's a reason to have ranks. Dividing up permissions. As a guild leader in other games, its *really* fking annoying having to do all the invites, all the bank work.

Having the system obey hierarchy is perfectly feasible to ask. Otherwise why have ranks?

guild drama lol
pretty stupid that it works like this tho

The leader, myself, and another 2nd in command have sent in player abuse/RMT tickets and have only gotten copy and paste responses back. Part of that response states that they can't do anything about it because "it is working as intended" and that if we want it changed to post on the Lodestone.

We are going to try the STF next to try and get our gil back.

The person who did this is still hopping from FC to FC to try and scam them. He begs to be given permissions which will allow him access to their FC chest.

Lodestone isn't a good place to report anything because it's not monitored.

It solves nothing, if you think you can spot all scammers in 10 days, then that's a fixed image. Crime can be organized even in games, and it isn't always arranged by a bunch of it idiots. The same things would happen, only after a 10-day delay.

It is also SE's fault for implementing a broken system. While we can argue that "you shouldn't give X person ANY rights unless you REALLY trust him", promoting above your own rank is an absurd possibility that should not exist. I feel like this is not even an intended feature, but SE is too lazy to go and rework code so that you can't promote above your own rank.

I'm gonna quote myself for silliness here. I don't know how anyone can agree with a system like this.

Wow. That's like me being a small section chief of a big time company, hiring my frand and then promoting him as the CEO of the whole outfit. We take the money, run, and no country officials think there's anything wrong with the system....

Crazy stuff!

As a side note, if you go into PF and try to warn people about FC robbers, YOU are the one that gets in trouble. The FC robber can report you for public slander, and then YOU are the one that gets temp/perma-banned (based on previous offenses). Clearly SE is trying to promote FC-robbing as a legitimate activity.
