Well first of all, I haven't had an account for about 6 months now, so way ahead of you there. And for your information, breaking the rules is exactly how things get changed. There are casualties and martyrs just like anything else, but throughout history, if you don't like a rule, and the maker of the rule is too thickheaded to listen to you, then you break the rule to get their attention. Simple politics.
Here is the problem your trying to compare a game on a PRIVATE server to RL politics and your argument doesnt fly. You basicly come to play in SE's house and at the door you agree to certin rules regardless of if they are fair or not you agreed to them hence if you break them you must suffer the results.There is nothing "ilegal" about a private owner of a game having set up rules and expecting them to be followed.
Its like if you have house guests come over and you have a no smoking rule in your house. By your argument if they dont like it they should smoke anyways cause they want to excersie civil disobence because they feel your rule is stupid. As the house owner you can have any rule you like same as SE owning the server.
FF XI is not a democracy you play by thier rules or you choose to give your money to someone else its that simple. You can protest a rule you find unfair by not paying them that send them a messege too. But on thier property the have every and all right to enforce rules they set up.
Sure I think it sucks we lost some good players. At the same time I highly doubt there were 2000 innocent cases. I am sorry to see people get booted but the fact is regardless if you feel its a stupid rule its a rule you agreed to follow.
Thank you. It doesn't matter what WE the players think.
"Oh, well SE should've made the game windowed on the pc so we can do other things. WoW has that!" Does it matter?
No, SE decided:
"Hey, we are going to make the game full screen"
If you don't like it, fine, talk to them, though I doubt they will listen. But the rules CLEARLY state in the ToS: No use of 3rd party programs. Which windower in this case would fall under.
Rules > Opinion.
And for the people who are like "We aren't robots and have to follow every rule." Be my guest, break the rules, use whatever, take the risks of beng banned, it's not my account is it?
Just because it's stupid that there is no windower, doesn't mean we have the right to change how the game screen is. It's their rules, not ours.
Though, yes, I wish the game was made to be windowed, but I guess it's not. Oh well
@ Mish. No I don't find windower cheating at all, it's harmless. But we gotta face it, like Aer said, we play by their rules and they have every right to enforce anyone of them that they made.
