POL New: another 1400 accounts suspended / terminated

[Dayner]

Today, a number of accounts which were confirmed to have violated the user agreement by using unauthorized third-party software tools within FINAL FANTASY XI to enable abnormal in-game movement were discovered and have been suspended or permanently terminated.

Based on the results of an investigation, over 1,400 PlayOnline accounts have been either suspended or terminated on Aug. 30, 2006 for the malicious and intentional use of these third-party tools.

We would like to take this time to remind our players that the use of any third-party tools will not only destroy the in-game balance, but will also encourage RMT (real money trading) activities. We will continue to take strict actions against those individuals that we have confirmed to have used such tools.

Please note that some of these third-party tools may cause character information to be altered, erased, or personal information to be leaked to unwanted third parties. If you come across a third-party tool over the Internet, we ask that you please refrain from the download of such a tool, no matter how minor it may appear to be.

To ensure our customers could enjoy the game safely, we will continue to apply measurements to combat these third-party tools and violations.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.

[Arylias]

I'd like to know how the hell fleehacking has anything to do with encouraging RMT.

 

[Hmkiroko]

There goes a certain shell leader which claimed Ulli on Monday....

Wait.

Using third party applications encourages buying gil? Exactly how did they find that genius correlation. Seriously, quit shooting up on heroine, POL. Those are two entirely unrelated violations.

I think they mean it encourages gil sellers to cheat.

I think they mean it encourages gil sellers to cheat.

Yeah, if more people want/use those programs, then more of them would be made and the use would be more wide-spread to just compete. Still, saying that if you use a third party program, the gil sellers win is a big stretch.

 

[pakomen]

Good stuff.

Because without Third Party Apps, Gil Sellers would play as legitimately as possible, m i riet.

 

[Damita]

So... Who got anybody get whacked by the latest swing of the ban stick? Did it get any of the gilsellers?
I've no internet so don't tell me to go look... Erenestos already wrecking havoc.

 

[meeze]

I'm sure they'd still find a way to cheat.

 

[Chasym]

surprised there are no banned for no reason people yet, Since they banned alot of innocents or windower kids last time.
glad i stopped usin the windower and moved to a 360, cause now ironically they didnt come for me again. makes me feel my suspicions were correct!

 

[Skaw]

I'm sure they'd still find a way to cheat.

Regardless of this, they said that using third party applications encourages RMT. So that meas Joe Vokebot and Jane Fleehack, who aren't gilsellers or have ever touched a gilbuying webpages, encourage RMT. Put down the crack pipe, guys.

Like I said, two entirely different offenses. Gil Sellers cheat, but Cheaters don't necessarily buy/sell gil. It's good that they actively get rid of both, but for the love of God, don't make retarded comments like that.

I wasnt really defending their statement, just glad people aer getting booted for using windower.

And before the crybabies come on telling me how harmless windower is, it doesn't matter, it breaks ToS. Do the crime, do the time.

 

[Sneakypants]

Good news.

 

[Dowzer]

Why do people think Windower is the reason of these actions? Are you not reading their announcements? Just skimming through them?

Stop saying it's fucking windower. Get your shit straight buddy.

They ban anyone who has been accused/warned about flee hacking.

Bullshit. Scwall used one religiously before the claim update. I asked a GM about it, he told me it's ok as long as you don't go afk with it turned on.

How do you think we beat all the vokebots and jp down at Sozu Rogberry? We went 1/3 over 2 WEEKS, because it was so hard to claim before the update.

I don't read pol at all. I read that post. It says third party, no matter how harmless you think it is. That announcement said nothing about flee hacking, so get YOUR shit straight buddy.
