Character Cloning - The New Cheat?

[Castillan]

Was standing in Revenant Toll. This toon logs in. All good. Then I see a second name appear right atop it. All appearance identical. Looked like 1 toon with 2 names. Then one of the toons walks to the side. I inspect them. They both have identical gear. Then another name appears on the first toon, and that new toon walks off to the side, also with identical gear. Then a third.

Looks like someone has found a way to clone toons. Just a heads up.

BTW, these toons were all level 50, with some off mix of crafted and artifact gear. I wasn't watching level 1 toons spawn in, in a city. This was blatant toon duplication of a level 50 toon in Revenant Toll.

Aww, you don't like when people say toon? That's too bad.

you know, as much as i hate to say it but i enjoyed your idiotic responses when your 'interpreter' friend went out of town and you had to reply with FFIX gibberish. maybe its time to call him back to make yourself more 'important'!!11!!1

ps. stop being a coward and start logging into your real account. 407 posts from your miner alt is sad.

Mind leaving any personal bs between you two and not use unrelated threads to bring up past arguments?

Anyway, back on subject that has been terribly derailed over one word the OP used, (Seriously guys, if someone is used to calling their characters "toons", they'll keep doing it. Sure, I don't use the term, nor do I like it, but it's immature to bash on someone for it. Stop making up rules on what words you can and can't use.), it could just be a gil seller using a dual boxer. I used to see this a lot in 1.0 where characters called things like Aejhefpej Bkegajkgsd were identical to each other with same gear spawning one on another and then moving around, or some going their own way. It would be crazy though if there was a way to clone your character though, and of course should be fixed soon. I just can't begin to imagine how it'd be possible.

Could be collection of RMT bots.

It's quite common to see a bunch of them logging in around a delivery Moogle and then logging off.

Similar to the aethytre camps in 1.23.




On a note of opinion, people saying 'toon' is just awful.
I can understand the reasoning, but eugh. "My toon looks like x!" makes me think they're playing a 2006 browser based 2D teenage chat-room.

Yep, good to know THAT'S what you took away from this....

The offense was so glaring I could not see anything else, hence regrettable.

However, reading another poster, it would appear you may have just found multi-boxers, people who pay and play more than one account simultaneously, usually using some kind of third party software to link the controls to all running clients.

Multiboxers can be RMTs as well, but you can't assume because they multibox, they are.

Fine, I will indulge you. Aside from toon/character/avatar, WHAT else would you call a character model in a game. It's just a word. FFS, people are so precious.

Stop you're making me blush.

Just about anything but "toon." Thanks.

There is a portion of the MMO community that feel "Toon" is a derogatory term. As for myself, I refer to call my Dolf as Stormegeddon Dark Lord of All....but...too each his own I suppose.
