Raise your hand if you got banned for exploiting RoE

I was told there would be an annual Bonanza Weapon giveaway! WTF!
At least Morimar is a WAR/BST now instead of BST/WAR, I guess...

IIRC, last year it just appeared in inventory on a random day at JP midnight? Was not tied to an update and also was not announced prior. Maybe we are still getting one? Fingers crossed.

The number of ways that SE just screws Beastmaster is staggering (i.e. Beastmaster inherently weaker front-line DD than WAR). So rather than improve one-handed Axe or Beastmaster or actual human players, just make the Beastmaster Trust -> Warrior main. Jesus-Tap-Dancing-Christ. :(

There is no chance this is related to job balance; it's because as a BST main he has no g.axe skill. Since they made his ws dependent on g.axe skill, he had to become a WAR.

I respectfully disagree. Give Beastmaster's access to Bravura. Problem solved. Otherwise, this is Beastmaster Erasure. :|

The bigger win was the Mastery Rank up from it, the trust primers are insignificant in the grander scheme.

This new RoE feature doesn't appear to be working, at least not in all circumstances. Tried on a level 51 BLM and 60 RDM. Quest is not automatically flagged, nor is it segragated in any way if manually flagged.
It's possible the next in the series might automatically flag once I complete the 65 cap quest, I suppose.

I dunno, the mental image of every bag full of primers...
I mean there's no way you CAN'T be banned for that right? That should be an easy flag to clip whoever generated that error message. Surely they aren't still walking among us? Right???

Don't even need them to be flagged with that message.
DB query for anyone who is owed over a reasonable amount of the item, update them for bant.

And that account is still walking among us. So I wouldn't hold your breath.
(legitimate deeds cap is somewhere around 4500 if you took them all from Vana'Bout over better rewards and never missed a month/an objective)
If you look at the message they posted, it's not clear they even realized that you had to exploit to hit those objectives. If it stays in the public conversation or enough people complain they could still do something since there's no way to legitimize one of those characters, but doesn't seem like they have so far.
Course, it still depends how many people actually did it. If they have to ban hundreds, gonna be a tough sell.
