Also duping Page 6.

Page 6 for sale: 300 million gil.

Everybody knows it wasn't meant to be, but with the crappy Drop rates this made Salvage slightly better to do because you could complete more Salvage Sets which is better if you're doing 20 other events and only have 100 minutes every 3 days to do it.

Well yes, things tend to be easier when you cheat.

It was an exploit, it wasn't buying gil. If you want to put them on the same level that's your choice, but I used the exploit and don't Condone Gil buying. Not everyone uses Narrow-minded One size Fits all Philosophy for playing the game.

I think it's tedious to have to work so many hours for my salary, I think I'll just embezzle a few thousand dollars from my employer so I can have more time to play ffxi.

You're a cheater, worse than RMT in my opinion. You did not accomplish anything in this game other than a false sense of achievement.

I pay the same monthly fee as you do so please explain why you are entitled to have an unfair advantage over me? "It's too hard...waaaa" is not an excuse.
I hope you get banned, I really do.

No, you cheated to get better stuff for you and your friends. Stop dancing around that. You cheated plain and simple.

The rationale of "cheating is a-okay because I got great stuff!" is just beyond stupid.

player A: damn SE, the droprate suck, do something abt it.
SE: looks at data, (scratch head) its 3X more than we program, y ppl are *********
player B: #%^@#% droprate
SE: (confused)

I hope now that they fix it, they will review the droprate, and adjust it accordingly.

Those ppl getting their gear using the exploit, is actually on the expense of others.

...which was exploiting the system in a way that was unintended.

How anyone can justify doing this, and think they are in the right, is beyond me

3x the demand for Khroma and Orihalcon if you didn't notice.

This was pretty small amongst the western playerbase because it's in our nature to one up each other and keep it secret, it was huge in the JP playerbase who found it to begin with because they shared the info amongst themselves freely. This is a lot bigger than people realise and it put a large amount of extra drops into the game. As for not taking advantage of it, it was an accident at first but the millions of times it was done after sure wasn't.

I am hoping that the fact they knew about this a few months ago and took so long was because they put some kind of log system in the places it happens to keep track(which is really easy to do, they just needed to track selected items upon entry compared to loot pool and number of items when you exit), hopefully the ban stick is coming..they don't even need to ban everyone just some high profile people would do. Maybe some guys with 20 salvage pieces and relics to show them up, as much as people think otherwise a pimped out player is no more valuable to the bottom line that a level 45 first time player so better to make a stand on people that will be taken notice of.

Ban about 10 high profile players per server at the very least as a warning and it will be a step in the right direction, they are so stupid they will just go buy another acc anyway, so no loss. Something this big really does require some kind of repurcussions or the next glitches will be abused far far worse.

FFXI is almost as bad as PSO was in the day, as much as they try to fix the problems it is still heavily plagued by bots, dupes, cheats, rmt etc and they do come out on top over everyone else. When you see shells formed around botters claiming everything out of nowhere, getting all the drops and people hoarding more salvage drops on one person than most have for their whole salvage group it shows it worse than anything else could. At least pso had the excuse that the devs didn't care, Square do and its still wrecked in terms of fair play.

Bet Pikko is exploiting glow rates, that right glow not grow.
