Happy Thanksbanning!

There is the warning! This one was against buying from exploiters.

So what do they think we are going to do a *** background check on every person we buy from? How the hell do I know if you botted that ***?

Some are obvious like the guy with 400 pulse cells but what if someone has a stack of medals? It's not unheard of, especially with event to get a stack in a couple weeks over multiple characters.

"I would like to purchase from your bazaar so if you could fill out this form that would be great"

I can't say I've ever seen someone 'innocent' get hit by one of these ban waves. The only people that scream they were 'innocent' are people to chicken **** to fess up to the fact that they knew damn well what was going on.

Regarding an Exploit for Repeatedly Obtaining Pulse Cells

Good day, adventurers. This is the Special Task Force.

We have confirmed another exploit using an external program on top of the one we announced a couple weeks ago. This post is to inform you of the measures we have taken to address it and the punishment disseminated to the culpable parties.


On November 20, we discovered that one individual character had improperly obtained approximately 400 pulse cells: Ep. We terminated that individual’s account on the same day and confirmed that none of those pulse cells: Ep had found their way to other characters.

As this particular exploit was limited to pulse cells, we investigated pulse cell acquisition by all characters across all worlds. As of the writing of this post, we have not discovered any other instances of players receiving a large amount of pulse cells, but are continuing to focus on exploits that enable players to improperly obtain items. Should we discover any similar activity, we will take appropriate action as needed.

This particular exploit targeted a system vulnerability unique to Voidwatch that could not be replicated by any means other than the malicious use of external programs. We implemented a fix for this vulnerability with the emergency maintenance on November 22 and have confirmed that the exploit no longer works.

We hereby apologize to those who were unable to access Voidwatch in the interim and to all players for the string of emergency maintenances.


Additionally, we would like to again warn players against the use of external programs, as we will continue to severely punish those who engage in exploits in FINAL FANTASY XI.

As a final word of warning, severe punishments are not limited to those who take advantage of said exploits, but also encompass those who knowingly benefit from such malicious acts. Do not engage with anyone who has been using exploits to gain an unfair advantage over others.

Report any suspicious activity or RMT-related acts here.

There is plenty of ways that can be figured out which is what they do when this happens

How about the people who buy gil from you? Do you make them aware they can be banned for buying gil? Do SE even ban for that anymore?

I remember a guy buying an Aegis account back on Hades and then he bought gil and he got banned for buying the gil hahaha

People normally don't get banned for buying Gil unless you buy an exorbitant amount of liquid Gil, talking like 900+m at a time.

I'm guessing the guy you claimed bought Gil got banned for something else or you're lying

and have everything I had back in a couple days

empyreans are 2 days of *** nms each
mythics are 3-4 days each
mission lines are a week
malignance set is a few days to a week
aeonics are 1-2 days each depending how you get beads
dyna lockouts are 10 days per job you want the gear on
omen lockout is like 2.5 months per job you want cards for if you don't catch campaign
as you said, ergon is 6 months and both are pretty nifty

it goes on

and even on a "main" none of it is a significant barrier enough to be a punishment.

Couple days at most, call it a month for arguments sake other than ergon.

it's a serious consequence for anyone who isn't a rmt..
