Theft and an FC

[Ruri]

Has been an issue since the beginning of MMO's. You give them access to things then there's nothing GM's can do.

I'm sorry this happened to your FC, I really hope SE do something to help you out.

Sadly, like Mihael said, humans are humans. Keeping everything that has a considerable value/importance to the FC under your control is the only way to avoid that kind of thing. Some people will dislike it, others will understand, but if something bad happens, everyone loses.

So sad but this is why our FC leader and only 1 other person has that kind of access to our stuff cause of horror stories like this unfortunately like said before SE can't really do much since the person was given access

Our guildbank in World of Warcraft was robbed by a player who claimed his account had been hacked. We contacted a GM and he returned all our gold and items in minutes. We didn't even have to tell what had been taken.

Perhaps there is a similar system in FF14?

Okay, i see there is a problem. I feel sad for that this can happen.
Technicaly there was no theft at all, the player took what you give him the permission to take it and use it.
I don't want to blame you for this, but we are on the internet. We ar anonymous. And anonymous people do terrible things to anonymous poeple.
The only way to be sure you can trust a person is a personal connection to this person.

This is simply the case why only i and my GF have access to the airships & Chest 1 & 3.

everyone has access @ Chest 2.

We put foods,chocobo dyes craft stuff etc in there. For who ever needs it.
Then we got some funny person stealing it all out and leaving the fc.
No issue for me, i designed it this way, if it happens i just know i got rid of a bad apple for a small small price.

Honestly. to trust people on the internet... No i'll pass usually. unless i know said person a long time and i feel its right.
Often people ask for more permissions, and i'm like why? What is the use for you? "Ehmm.. well i can help you get those mats! and stack up"
Right... We're fine thank you for the offer but i'll pass. yet they keep insisting on higher ranks. No is no.

Happened to us over here. It is shitty but not much can be done. As said by op, SE ignores fc theft.

While yes it's bad, and we've had a theft too, it technically doesn't break the game's rules.. So the GMs can't get involved. Basically, the permissions set allowed them to do this, so Sae's hands are tied.

I hate to see this kind of thing happen on my server, I'm sorry to hear you guys were betrayed by a trusted (former) friend. I hope you all are able to recover from the setback, please exercise caution in your permissions (including who you allow to promote) going forward. Best of luck guys.

I have little faith in mankind after many years of experience. MMOs harbor some of the worst of humanity hiding behind their keyboards/game stations, etc. In FF, I trusted 1 person to have sub access only because she helped me set them up and actually gave me some parts at the beginning. I have known her for a long time and she has shown herself to be honorable. These days I keep my subs/ships, one FC slot and $ locked only to me, the rest I leave open because I don't care, it's there for the taking just don't abuse it Sorry about your losses.
