Thread: All the exploiters before 2.0 build.

I don't believe there's ever been a gathering exploit, unless you count switching to a DoL class in the last seconds of a Chocobo Caravan run (this doesn't work so well anymore -- the exp is gimped a ton).

The people with billions of gil because there was nothing to spend it on and in early release builds it was way too easy to get.

I don't know... it just doesn't seem fair that all of these people are maxed out (especially on crafting jobs), and others will have to work 1000x harder than they did to get the same result. I'm not sure how you would fix something like this without causing the cheaters to quit the game. I do however feel the need to point out that a lot of maxed out accounts did not work that hard to get where they are.

I know a lot of the guilty party will have some harsh words for me.. but I had to say it, it just isn't fair.

You are aware the game has been out for almost two years right?

To be fair. Two years is WAYYY more than enough time to get all dom/dow and dol/doh to 50. You are correct...to a degree you are correct about the horrible systems that used to be in place, but you are wrong to consider any of those sytemz to be exploits. We, as players had no choice but to deal with broken systems when the game was released and as they tweaked certain game mechanics. Its totally unfair and snobby of you to assume we all took advantage of these systems, when in truth, what choice did we have? Yes once upon a time, the game was focused around leve quests and you could get more exp from them than grinding.....but the direction of the game has changed since then and there are now otjer methods to getting better exp.

Regarding crafting, it is much much eazier and faster now than at any point since launch, so really your argument in that regard is invalid. Also too, since theyve implemented chains for exp leveling up is about just as fast as it used to be. I think that your problem is that you are mad you didnt stick with the game when you considered it "broken" and are now whining that you dont have max everything, when in fact you very well could have, if you chose to play the game and work hard.

I play everyday, i have for almost two years, its not fair that you come out of nowhere assuming that everyrhing was so easy way back when. Ive been through every change this game has been through and stuck through it all. If you would have, you would have something you could be proud of too. I think its snobby and completly dickish for you to assume no one worked for anything they have, or imply that because we stuck with this game, that we took advantage of "exploits". Btw im not rich, never have been.

Quit asking to he spoonfed. Go work hard to get what you want. We, who have stuck by this game would also appreciate it, if you stfu about how unfair it was, that you chose not to stay.
