This isn't some massive exploit, it let you get some extra pulse cells. Certainly nothing worth looking for or getting banned for.

400 cells looks like a massive exploit to me lol

The mentality of all the people bitching in this thread. Thank you for being honest about yourself unlike some of the others.

i didn't buy any because the probability of someone having 397 legit cells is far lower than someone having 7900 legit medals lol
man why'd they have to go and *** with the one item whose price never changes

If you look closely, it's actually "Comeeatmebro", which I assume is just his trashy sister's character.

Isn't me(neither is Comeatmebro on Asura for that matter, the only actual Comeatmebro character I had is a Galka and has long since been renamed), but I guess now people are gonna eat bans for this harmless/unintentional crap. Oh well.

Whoever made that mule is probably trolling and has been doing VW for months using the exploit.

I created the original add-on. I never submitted it to Windower because I felt it blurred the line between an add-on and a bot and that users would know they are taking a risk. I did my best to ensure that nothing too sketchy occurred while using the add-on and that the user experience was reasonably good for what it was. It could undoubtedly be improved, though.

I don't feel like the PSA was necessary, although I'm not unhappy that it occurred. The expectation that users have is semi-automation, and in certain conditions with specific variants of the add-on, the risk of accidentally exploiting something was non-zero. That said, I don't think that it would have led to bannings unless someone became aware of it and attempted to monopolize the exploit. I like having exploits in the game. They bring a certain sense of sneaky excitement. It's disheartening to see them fixed.

Exploits for self gain, sure. If you want to create afterglows for yourself out of thin air, or do things for yourself to make the game less shitty, that's great.

Things that *** up the game for everyone else though, come on. That needs fixin'

If you wanted to get 5 cells for a weapon to skip 300 zitah fights, I really wouldn't be mad at you, but if you try to sell 2 billion gil worth of the cells... yeah, you crossed the line.

Wow. 397 pulse cells huh? Game is riddled with so many bugs and exploits, it's getting to be the norm. 397 pulse cells, I haven't seen that many in 10,000 VW runs. Was that a current game screenshot or is that from before the duping stuff?

Oh boys, get ready, whoever made comeeatmebro just verified their character, I'm sure whatever they're going to post will be thoughtful and a delight.

Raise capital to buy land, have the new company hire your own company to build the building, charge them while playing supervisor for the building. Rent out the building, take big salary and have your own company bill the building.

Does that mean someone needs to confirm this exploit, make a mule and call a GM on themselves again?

This must obviously be Rook's doing, to make this forum lively again.
