Seriosuly.. Maint Again?

you should quote the entire thread if that's your position. why interject into a conversation you know is obviously speculation just to say stop speculating.. lol

Either you buy the scroll of cure or you start the game off as whm which means you paid an extra dollar or the whole 13 bucks(if its your first char). Either way, you bought the scroll and you can use it however you want. Just b/c they made cure into a nuke does not mean i can't use it whenever i feel like it.

What I mean by "Putting items in the game not meant to be there" is:

Killing X mob = 1 Y drop can be the expected out come

While Killing X mob = 3 times Y drop can not be the expected outcome.

Woah lots of posts since I last checked. Scanned most of them but they seriously cant ban or roll back imo.. though I wouldnt put it past them.

The game was up barely a hour or so before the ninja maint, I would have thought that 90% of the player base wasn't even aware of the cure thing, hell I know I wasnt, hence making the thread in the first place.

Okay I'm sure that many people did exploit it in it's short time but I'm damn sure that the majority didn't. And ok they do decide to roll back the game a few hours, for myself I'll go out and get Tukker's Bullwhip belt again (for the 3rd time, long story :p) and pick up the atma I had always missed out on. Its no big whoop. But thats my point, its no big whoop.

It wasnt like it was a week or two before this got sorted. Did they roll back after the Yonin thing? No. they just allowed people to spam the same single tool over n over till they were capped ninjutsu. I wonder how many people spammed the K Club BCNM during that time. Did they ban them? No. Did they warn them? No. Did they roll back? No. Was todays thing a long lasting error that people maliciously used repeatedly like the salvage thing? No.

My point is it was SE's error, they found out and fixed it fast. Little to no harm done, and so what some people got a few extra drops/atmas/whatevers, SE can put it down to experience, its not like it caused any real problems, not in its short time.

If SE do roll back then they will be making enemies of 80%+ of the player base.

Because I've kept my mouth shut the entire time.

Also for those that don't know, Ochain shield bash was also messed up, so who knows what else is wrong.

You could brew for the same result if you really wanted to, lol.

LOL I won't get into that...you know what I meant. :p Moot point now anyhow I would say. :p

the salvage bans happened because those players knew about the glitch and decided to keep it a secret so they could farm more gear without SE knowing about it. the cure glitch was known by pretty much everybody because people were shouting in jeuno about it. i think if people had tried to keep it a secret and exploit it like the salvage dupes, then they'd be banning. this is just lulz at best

Yeah I know what you mean, just saying what it could be viewed as different and not treated the same as the salvage bans were handled.

I see your point, there. Basically the items gained in this glitch were obtained through normal gameplay with a glitched spell, The Salvage items were gained by players spawning chests that were never meant to be there.

Captain Obvious... AWAY!!

how much longer ; ;?

i lol'd more at the thought this was an atempt to be funny...although i bet Derf could spruce it up a bit.
strike 2
please make me laugh :P

Not sure if im being whoosed by thats not how the salvage items were duped at all, lol.

I wonder if this works in other games...

this entire thing wouldn't be a problem if we just had phoenix downs.

I love you las

It was also embarrassing for SE.

The Salvage dupe lasted as long as it did because SE was asleep at the wheel, not paying attention to the activities of their players. How could anyone hide something from SE when they have all the tools at their disposal?

Remember, the glitch went under the radar for nearly a year.

That's why the bans were swift and merciless. SE was being used and no one likes being taken for a ride. It was personal.

yeah i know all that, was just saying i seriously doubt they'll ban anybody this time around

Can't think that SE would rollback or ban because a few people got like 10 lvl that they didn't have to smn burn or a couple pair of Serpentes Cuffs Watch out we broke the game.

They were more of a "it's stupid to ban ppl over a spell we bought" sorta comments.
Also, according to your post... i made you laugh once!

I hate to use the word but salvage/sw was a conspiracy to keep a flaw in zone mechanics a secret from SE to directly profit. Salvage gear faster than normal wasn't unbelievably game breaking, but coming from a LS that did sw/ixion every day with no competition for nearly 3 years, if we tripled the gil that went into relics from that, we would be talking about over 100 relics that should not have existed thanks to this glitch. Not to mention the true problem, people started rmt'ing the gil off to websites. SE looked like amateurs due to this, it's no surprise they banned the way they did. This was a known glitch, being shouted in jeuno, abused by a very large % of the playerbase in a very short time. If they ban for it, its understandable, but the damage to in game economy/SE's image isn't really as horrible when its just oops spaghetti coded something.

Could this maint. be the reason I can't create an FFXI Forums account?

when does the update finish?


...bored

Doubt it as well. SE needs people to keep paying for this game.

Umm... People thought that before too.

Yawn.

fail

They not loosing money if they temp ban... 3day ban as warning is not hurting them at all, and give fair warning to they player base how to stop exploit a glitch and prevent people to be interest to exploit glitch like it happen to salvage.

Depend the card SE wan to play.

Bored.


That is all.
