Time to address the real problem - RMT buyers

[AwesomeJr44]

They're just a small indie company that can barely afford to keep the lights on! How dare you assume they have the ability to do anything more than band-aid fixes?! Shame on you! /s

[Gember]

I do agree with you. People who buy from RMT dealers should face the consequences. They are in fact the reason why Square Enix had to take away the ability to gift mogstation items. The RMT dealers will steal from other players just so they can get a quick buck to serve another.. and its wrong.

You can spend a lot of gil in housing, and the people involved with RMT typically have multiple houses as the system basically not only encourages RMT, but rewards it.

Because you think this is a "mistake" ?

Tons of other mmo's introduce 1st month exploits for their third party resellers / gm friends to make a lot of reserves in the game currency /mats / items to resell and switch /swap exploits and bugs from one month to the other to try to never get the normal playerbase find out these cycles and where to get , for a limited time, abusive amount of currencies.

Happened in Age of conan (lots of scandals around the whole GM echelons and their mods favoritism with high end guilds and so on), Lineage 2, Tantra Online, New World (saw the same Fest of obvious duplication bugs and easy exploits to allow some guilds to make incredible amount of mats / money Exactly like Fallout 76, in aoc, specific old dungeons droping literally gold instead of silver for a few weeks, then that other dungeon is patched but another one does the same, then it's a specific area droping gold instead of silver, then it's changing all the raid boss strats an capacities / way skill works in yakhmar or vistrix one week or patch after the other to render them extra difficult or hard to clear without knowing some exploits or how the changed mechanic work, almost forcing guilds to reprog the raid bosses, but rmt know how to kill them day one still offering then sales for these clears,then it was, in one patch u can duplicate extremely rare and expensive gems into gear slots, by using a specific way with the keyboard and trade window, then this is patched, then this comes back 2 patch later, yada yada yada) Priston Tale, lots and lots of innumerable mmos, old like news, have these "cycles" of exploit picks and supposedly "patching" of said exploit when "found out" (but only if they are found by normal players reporting them and discovering the scam, mind you. Just don't let the normal playerbase profit from it ! it's only our rmt privilege access, PATCH IT NOW !)

I've seen too many examples of these conveniences for rmt users to think, it is "innocent" when it profits only RMT's that have exceptional DAY ONE , just right away, minutes after a patch is out, they have this "newfound" exploit knowledge at the minute and can profit from it a month long before patched. See. It can only come from inside ressources / some GM/ mod / admin giving it out. Only imbeciles and naive people think these are "mistakes", mistakes that keep repeating themselves in various cycles and coming back in further patches... when people forgot these existed after a while, somehow.

I'm curious why people even buy gil. I gave away 16 million about...2 months ago and it was a chore to even get rid of that.

When there's a way where people can get something they want instantly you will always have people who will take the path of least resistance. Yes theoretically its very easy to make money in this game, probably easier than most but it still requires actual effort and knowledge on your part if you're focusing on amassing gil rather than spending it when you're an early player.

They have cash to burn, too lazy to earn gil the normal way but what's funny is those same gil buyers are sometimes usually going to other forums and cry about how their account got hacked because they trusted someone with their info and now that said account is running the bot treadmill now for some over seas seller or some random seller who got caught selling and advertising in chat and was punished and expecting sympathy from the community.

[Avoidy]

Yup, agreed. Seems like the most blatantly obvious solution. Stop "banning" bots who'll just come back tomorrow and easily recoup their losses with cheats, and instead ban people who can't easily replace what they've lost because you just nuked their main.

I've quite literally seen a series of bots with matching glam to fit the theme of Nier automata for an FC called YorHa on my server.

They've been doing this shit for over a year now and Square Enix does not care. I've even reported it with screenshots yet I still see them around frequently.

does it ever occur to you that even though these bots can be banned more still come?

Might stop if the leader of said FC was banned, or at the very least the player in said FC mushing them around with peloton

Then I trust you relayed that information to the GMs with proof of their ne'er do welling to you and the community properly.
