Good bye FFXI
By Pantafernando 2015-02-06 13:41:27
Which does to some degree mean they're ok with you using gearswap !
Maybe yes, maybe no.
Ive read somewhere someone saying SE prefer first trying to solve the issue then second, banning. That explain salvage exploit going on for so long. first, after they corrected mega boss floor, they handled the first ban wave. Now, came the bans for, suposelly, others floors salvage. I would expect by now the salvage is free of exploits, and now SE will proceed as they did before.

That just means they'll have to go back to exploiting dynamis.

Thats because, aparently, some SE employer occasionally lurks around forums like ffxiah and bg. Ffxiah seems like a recognized community for SE, so having a topic where cheats/exploits are discussed can be viewed as spreading info, and maybe incentivating people to commit violations.
In other words, the more people are ignorant about the underground offfxi, the better for SE. I mentioned the salvage thing a bunch of times because reporting it through official SE channels didn't get it fixed after weeks. Seems like the only way to stop an exploit is to let it hit critical mass.
(maybe I got temped for posting about it without using it, lol?)

Not to make light of someone getting banned, but it would be funny if it was a Goblin Bounty Hunter chasing down the hallways, and whenever you turn around, he'd hide behind a pillar. LOL

what exactly did you do to get banned? I quit a long time ago, but should tell others how to avoid the same fate or simply share the story to ppl like me for the lawls lol. He humped a dead player.

LMAO! Beat me to it.

I don't think the reive/exp/salvage tricks out there are in any way underground. Literally warping to OuterRaz, Marjami, or Port Jeuno and seeing people go from having 0 alex for sale to 12 stacks in a matter of hours pretty much seals the deal that something is fishy.
I don't think anyone believes that tools aren't being used by a lot of people, but there are TONS of ways to accumulate 12 stacks of alex in a few hours. Some people have like 20K just sitting on a mule.

didnt ask for links, just asked to be more specific to satisfy my curiosity. I wasnt sure if while i was gone if ppl were duping again, some new crazy ***, or simply just speed/pos hacking. dead game is a dead game, who cares what ppl do or talk about anymore lol.
thank you Pantafernando~

Yeah. And 100 HPB appears virtually overnight on a character who just shouted "HPB Sold Out Thank You" the day prior.

Buy out bazaars with underpriced items, resell... I agree it's likely some people are using exploits, but having a lot of something is pretty weak evidence.

The NPC appears in other places.
Not just salvage.
They couldn't block the illegal tools. So they made an infallible camera.
I approve.

I approve. Now I'm going to be looking at NPC's more intently... I swear that eye patch of Joachimm's eye is hiding something...

If people are curious about the invisible npc, use the FFXIDB plugin. It'll be the green dot that's slightly behind you.

I'm inclined to believe him. If you open ROM4/1/72.dat (Zhayolm dat list), you'll see there are two blank NPC labels at the end. If you open ROM4/1/68.dat (Leujaoam), you'll see two blank NPC labels at the end as well. These are both instanced areas. If you open ROM4/1/78.dat (Caedarvs Mire), you'll see only one blank NPC label. Caedarva is not an instanced area.

I get to say goodbye to ffxi after about 10 years also! Guess there's no warnings for first time offenders.
It's been an awesome 11-12 years. Made a lot of friends and anti-friends along way. This is what made the game enjoyable to me personally. The whole addiction be able to escape into a virtual reality. A lot of us played when were young, then got married, had kids and still played. And we secretly hoped in the back of our minds we will get banned so that the addiction can stop. In a way, I'm am kinda glad that finally happened to me. I can now spend more time with my family and friends.
Thank you to everyone who made FFXI an experience of a lifetime. You will be missed. Good bye FFXI and thank you. I must take my leave now and escape back into the reality that now seems surreal.
