High-level Elementals ENRAGED!

[Jaimie]

It sounds like you have a problem with my post, Jaimie. I'm sorry if I upset you ~

What I have, is a problem with your attitude.

You do realize that these BOTs are probably filling up the market wards, making it near impossible for players such as myself to place a retainer in Uldah.

You do realize that you are basically condoning "bad behavior".

You do realize that thanks to outsourcing, and other economic factors many people in NA and europe are suffering a poor quality of life.

I could go on. But I'll let you THINK about what I have posted first. Maybe, you'll THINK before you make your next comment.

I have in no way stated that this behavious is acceptable just that if this behvaiour is to be combated it needs to be hit at the source otherwise the Hydra will just sprout more heads.

I also didn't say anything about the rest of the world because they are not RMTing our game. I am aware it is happening but your point doesn't really hold any weight here.

It seems you're more interested in getting into a fight about who is right or wrong and expressing yourself rather than anything else.
I recommend sitting down with a close friend or family member and talking about how you feel.

I also don't wish to discuss this any further and will only contribute with image macros.
I'll let readers decide for themselves what they think.

I counter with this:

While it might seem to many of you that we are not combating RMT related activity at camps like Cedarwood and other places, please rest assured that the operations and STF teams are proactively looking into this and performing thorough investigations. And to give you more insight of their investigations, we banned 700 accounts last week, but as you know they keep coming back.

In addition to ongoing STF efforts, we will be setting up countermeasures system wise as we head towards version 2.0. If you happen to notice any suspicious activity in your adventuring, please take a moment and help us out by making an STF report by goVing here: http://support.na.square-enix.com/co...hp?id=902&la=1

Right now there are no elementals near Cedarwood. It's as if they are avoiding the RMT now at the Node. The elementals are on the outside of the surrounding area, though. It's strange. I think the RMTs are luring them away from the Node...

I think they are, I even tried to help, but they kept ending up where the leve mobs spawn, so annoying i kept getting killed just their.. oh well..

Some were really chatty tonight though, talking about some island and dogs almost all the time over and over..

Oh well i love the new mobs SE has given us, I've been having loads of fun with them.
Even more then Atamos!

[Jaimie]

Thank you.


It's is nice to read something positive once in a while.

BUT

I keep seeing BOTs everywhere I go, and I can never get my retainer into uldah. Can't SE do a bit more?

For example:

A number of players will put an item in their retainers bazaar, for 99,999,999 or some other large amount that no one will spend on the item in question. They do this, so that their retainer isn't kicked out of the MW. Now, I may be wrong, but to me that sounds like an exploit. If it is an exploit, can't they do a quick SQL search or something of the retainers, and just kick all the bad ones out of the MW?

Are the servers back up, maybe I can get my retainer in uldah now.

If I remember right, your retainers have a 168-hour lifespan in the wards that resets every time you interact with them. An item in bazaar isn't necessary.

All the 99M items are:

- glamor gear for retainers (coliseum set only exacerbated this problem)
- extra storage (items in bazaar don't count against inventory space)
- pride and showing off (5x melds usually)

I was shopping for a new weapon for my 19 conjurer earlier today. I saw a R17 cane for 1,000,000. IMHO, I think a certain group of people are exploiting the system.

Oops almost forgot.

If people really want to show off theirr UBER items, find another method. These retainers with only 1 item up for sale may be preventing other players form hanving a retainer in the wards.
