Ban Cannon In Empyreal Paradox

i started around CoP release(on PS2), but i was thinking of qufim cliff not rabao, so i'll give you that

i still find it hard to believe that it was as much (relative) gil added as ebisus are nowadays.. SE's added all sorts of gil sinks to try to accomodate it

That's an extremely short sighted POV if you can't see how a company would lose more profit if you don't ban cheater/RMT.

A lot of ppl don't cheat, simply because the chance of getting banned still exist. Yeah, it seems that most of the time they don't care, but ppl been saying "you won't get banned, so just do ettttt!" when ppl salvage dupe or clipper NNI. Whenever SE bans a cheater/RMT, it prevents potential players that would cheat if SE do nothing.

So, if SE doesn't ban cheaters, more ppl cheats, period.

And what will happen if most players cheat/RMT?

Things like cheating/RMT gives advantage to ppl who do it, and putting ppl not doing it in disadvantage.

If I, or any random player are new to FFXI, and every other player skills up faster, runs faster, clears events easier, and gets a relic faster without grinding/crafting, I'd have to cheat to keep up too. And not every player is into that sort of thing.

So, if I need to cheat to keep up, I may end up quitting. And the game die faster than it is now.

If FFXI still has 3 more years of life span, then it shortens life span if ppl quit faster, and that's less profit.

Also, real RMTs probably would start cancelling their account and sell less gil, due to less profit. Since RMT profit is based on players. If everyone fishbot or run faster, make gil faster, or make progress faster, I bet gil would lose value too.

Further more, EVERY newer MMO SE make, DQ10, FFXIV and such, I'd think twice, or maybe 3 times before I try it. If they don't ban cheaters in XI, maybe they won't ban cheaters in DQ10 and FFXIV too?
I don't want to play a new MMO and have to cheat to keep up, I'll pass this title.

What about MMOs after DQ10, FFXIV? In next 50 years, as long as SE exists and continue to make MMO, they'd be labeled as a company letting everyone bot/cheat, and players not into this sort of things would not play.

Overall, I see decreased brand value and way less profit if SE doesn't ban cheaters.





Not true, different player has different tolerance when it comes to cheating. Some ppl can tolerate fishbot but not speedhack. Some ppl can tolerate spellcast, windower but not fishbot/speed hack and auto skill up. Some ppl can't tolerate windower/spellcast but they still play regardless. If today SE stop banning cheaters, I see more ppl would start to cheat and more ppl would quit for it.



By that logic, if I open a private server for FFXI and allow everyone to cheat, clipper, fishbot and w/e, I should get more sub than FFXI.

But no, most of us probably already know that private server doesn't sound fun.

Okay bro keep being ignorant about it, meanwhile more than half the population still playing is doing something considered "cheating."

I don't see how the game is dying. Do people say that to look cool?

I don't see "more than half" of ppl skill up bot or fish bot. Ppl do it a lot, do it all the time, but ppl do get banned for fishbot often, and it's certainly less than 50% of population.

Any form of 3rd party program is considered cheating. More than half the playerbase is guilty, get over it.

Meh players using third party programs that give them an "unfair" advantage is considered cheating. Botting is a definite no no. Game may not be dying but it's becoming less popular. Compared to the 3000-5000 people on double the amount of servers to what we have now. 1000-1300 on half the amount of servers. You do the math.

Fkn Canadians.

More and more of the people online are bazaar or fishing mules, most events are nearly impossible to field (VW shouts take forever to fill, abby is deserted, even SoA content is mostly empty), most LS's I know of lose most of thier players durring FFXIV beta days, etc.

It might be a short term thing, but FFXI is deserted on even the most populated servers.

Speak for yourself. Ive ran into plenty of people in Abby this week while I worked on my stun staff and cure staff. I even teamed with them. VW is all easily 8 man now. I spam morta with less in my ls. Delve is empty? What are you smoking?

Delve isn't empty, just the groups are always 16/18 when the /yells start, and always looking for BRD or SCH stunner (because the elitist noobs don't know that BLU is the stun king).

Blu can stun lock delve boss :o?

Uh no, sch. Make your own party or level support.

With A+ BLU magic skill capped, why not? That may be a lot to ask of Abyssea BLU's...

I think the biggest problem with a BLU stunlocking the boss is that you have to be in range of AoE's. The first time you fail to stun due to lag is likely the last.
