Dear lord I don't care how much you dislike them, don't send 'em off to an ***. Now if you care to banish them to the ANNALS of history, we can talk. I appreciate this; good looking out.

Right, but the damage is done. So why the need to sit around and admire your work. Whatever part you played, you played a part. There’s no degrees of guilt, it’s either you did or you didn’t.
If I did nothing, you'd be sitting around not knowing anything had happened, and there'd be every single bit as many medals in circulation right now. Aurix would still be chilling, handing out hundreds at a time.
The only difference is that now you see it, and it upsets your fragile mind that something dirty happened in your bot, script, and lua filled game.

I always thought it would be cool if they had a server they moved all the cheaters to instead of banning them. Disable world transferring off of that server, and monitor it for suspicious activity. A honeypot of sorts.

i remember 2 kids doing similar stuff in WoW who got sued for around 3 million from blizzard iirc. I wouldn't even mess with, they would send me a lawsuit. They are based in Calfornia if I'm not mistaken. >.>

It would have been cooler if they introduced some kind of old school Halo "anti cheating/botting" countermeasures. They introduced Goblin Bounty Hunters way back that would catch fishing bots/mules, but they could have taken it a step further to send a message.
Goblin Bounty Hunter follows you around the entire game. Every time you make a million gil, he kills you. Every time you enter a main town, he kills you. Every time you open a bazaar, he kills you. Every time you try to sell in your bazaar, he kills you (and takes the items from your bazaar). That way everyone could get a good laugh at who the cheaters are.

I mean, the personal attack aside, why do you continue to sit here and defend your self. Can you really tell everyone with a straight face that you never profited from this? I mean the reality is we can sit here beating a dead horse for ages. Whatever your reasons, you were apart of it. So all "I" ask is that you kindly step aside and stop gloating over the aftermath.
The game was never fair, and I've never been so naïve. What happened is akin to insider trading. You've all been or will be found out. So seriously, what is the point in continuing the merry-go-round?

And they disable HP teleports on this server as part of the punishment.

You'd be surprised how often people make that slip. There are certain grammar/spelling/pronunciation faux pas that always seem to catch my ear/eyes (ask anyone that's ever been in a shell with me- FFXI pronunciation drives me batshit....I'm looking at you KingKitt and your constant Rayk-EEE)

Can you really tell everyone with a straight face that you never profited from this? If 'this' is FFXI, then no. If you mean the exploit, then yea, I can honestly say I didn't profit.
I did not make a cent, and actually lost $200 + a mid tier RMT account getting this fixed. I didn't do it out of the goodness of my heart, and I'll certainly profit from the markets going back to normal, but I did not make anything out of the exploit itself.

There's nothing really wrong with that either, just you're told it's bad and you follow it like a sheep.

Maybe go do the required reading before you ***on our memes. no matter how many times you try to render yourself the hero of this story, your motives completely devalue your actions that otherwise could be perceived as noble.
ppl aren't laughing with you they laugh over you. now stroll back to the pillory cause thats where your place is in this matter.

I don't think they'll ban honestly. I mean if they cared about the economy don't you think they would've lowered the Shield NPC value? I get the quantity isn't as much. Hell, they even made it easier to spend your accolades to get gil by allowing you to stack to 99.
My guess is they'll fix the dupe, and move along without any bans.

They already handed out a dozen or so today that have been confirmed(plus all the people who are still in denial and don't want others to know they got hit). There's no proof there'll be more, but odds are pretty good.

However, now that I think about it. Fenrir did get hit by the ban hammer for CP parties. Who knows what they will do.

Ah, gotcha. Wish my attention span was better so I could stand to read pages and pages on here.

They don't bother me any. Yea, I did something for my own benefit. Who the **** wouldn't? Am I supposed to feel insulted or cry or something because I did something to make myself more money and got the result I aimed for..? I don't get it.

99% of everyone on here would've done the same thing. Let's not kid ourselves.
What! Who deleted that. The ffxi community should have a place to discuss that given this is the only active forum. Hiding it just protects those involved lol. This isnt something innocent when it impacts a lot of players.
