Theft and an FC

[Blitzace]

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.

the gm service in this game is a joke.

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.

my FC leader didnt check permissions correctly...and logged in one day to find someone had put all the FC house decorations in a single stack by the door....
could have been much worse.
never give more than the permissions that are actually needed.
go read some Eve corporation theft stories.

It's not theft if you gave them permission to do it.
It's a balancing act on giving permissions without seeming too restrictive on your members.

Part of the problem is the default permissions given to newly added ranks. Someone new to FCs trying to run one may not be aware of just how permissive the default settings are. It's almost as bad as Facebook's default settings that will give away very personal information to anyone mining profiles instead of making the personal information settings hidden.

I'd been hoping they would make the changes to rank permissions they said they were working on by now but I guess it's something that has to wait until next expansion.

On one hand, I can understand the frustration of being robbed by players you put your trust into it. A GM should restore the missing items at some point.

But on the other hand, its also the fault of the one, who gives permission to those players. You should never trust people easily. Especially those you dont know. And you should NEVER give everyone the access to everything.


That somehow reminds me of a player who got invited by an FC. But there, he cleared the FC bank (selling almost everything to the next NPC), moved the entire furniture on one place and start eating the FC-bufffood in front of FC members... . And he did this to several FCs xD
