    That's some hardcore hacking. No one can say SE isn't fighting RMT now. Cause this imo means they have grown desperate.
    I'm glad the patch/update corrupted my FF14 install now...
    (Gotta reinstall/redownload and update all of 14...)
    Going to be a few days before I log on, hopefully SE would have taken care of this by then.

    Until then...I'm going to appreciate the Diablo 3 high my buddies are on.
    Off to Sanctuary for me.
    If they are desperate, it likely has little to do with SE to combat it. Sales probably aren't great due to how RMT handle themselves in this game and players being more aware of the dangers or destructive nature of RMT practice. Annoying your target consumer does not promote good advertising. Whether or not it's a real thing is still subject for debate, but the same could have been said with the Friend Request practice from not long ago. It started only on a select few servers, then moved on to many more. SE tends to prefer ignoring their presence for as long as they can though, so I honestly don't have much faith in prevention and/or a timely solution. It's always too little, too late when it comes to QoL and RMT with the devs and their (often) half assed solutions.

    It honestly doesn't seem to be that difficult to mess with the servers. I mean, back during 2.0, it wasn't unheard of to see someone hack their crafting to 50 in minutes. Instant level ups. Hacks in general are common even now. Not all that surprising.
