Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Yea... like I said... movement tools. Everyone I've talked to used either Fleetool or POS.

Just hope I didn't get perma banned, I just bought SH and two Snippers last night >.> With money I got legally thank you, I only use hacks to get around, it's easy to make money as a 75 BRD and WHM.

[url=http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews/news8139.shtml]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 Trade) activities.

Windower? eh..

And you have to justify yourself why?

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Wasn't justifing myself at all, just didn't want people responding to my post saying "You probably deserve to lose all that money." I know what I did was wrong, and I deserve the 72 hour ban.

Well, then. Good riddance.

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Unlike most hackers and scripters I'll admit to what I'm doing. I know it's wrong, and I know I run the risk of getting caught. I believe in honor amungst thieves in a sense. Catch me and I'll admit I was wrong. They wont catch my ass again, I can promise you that.

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Windower is nice, but it's the TP tool I really use it for.

Luckily, there was no notification of the banning of my account, though I havent quite logged in yet reicently. I've been switching to playstation so my fiance can have her computer. She refused to use windower, which may have been her saving grace.

As far as SE being dicks, I'm of the opinion that it's SE's game, a game they try their hardest to be fair. It's the players that are dicks by doing exploits/hacks/rmt measures. SE is playing in their view, a defenceive war for the 'fair players' on their game.

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

It seems like it was only us normal people who got banned. My wife is sitting here stareing at three RMT NM campers in Castle O. SE still making money off their gil trade obviously.

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Well there is a small prob lol
More then 80% of the people who play use windower because it allows you to also check stats and quest and so forth. They also use chat programs with their linkshell and use forums like these... There may be hacks but I do not see why they have gone to this level

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Windowers are indeed against the ToS, but it only shows that the ToS is a failure. What if walking forward was suddenly made illegal and you had to walk backwards? I'm sure you'd agree that the law should not have to be followed. That kind of law would exist only for the purpose of being there.

Your logic fails.

Walking forward is a basic necessity to living life. Windower is not needed to play FFXI. You can play FFXI perfectly fine without windower, walking only backwards has a crippling effect.

And it's not like they suddenly banned windower. Third party apps have been wrong since day one. We have no comparison for a real life situation. The closest I can come up with is theft. From the age of understanding, we are taught that it is wrong. But even theft isn't a perfect comparison because it negatively affects another person.

However, I do agree that FFXI should be windowed.

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Here's what POL has to say.

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 permanently suspended.

It would seem they only banned players using speed hack or similar cheats not plain windower users.

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

That's the impression I'm getting, because there are way more than 2k users using windower

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

I just wanted to ask a question to the PC users. So, does windower in fact make it
easier to cheat with hacks, and if so, would not allowing people to use windower
help cut down on the number of people using hacks?

I am a PS2 user so I really don't know much about how Windower or those other
3rd party tools work. So, I only see this as a good thing, because to me it evens the
playing field somewhat, if it indeed makes it harder to cheat.

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Could we maybe start a petition for SE to add a windower to the game? Think it would work?

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

Personally, if you're using fleehacks for whatever reason and are caught I hope they ban your account permanently. Simply no excuse for using hacks/cheats in FFXI regardless of the excuse.

Re: Sooooo 2k accounts suspended....

It might cut down hacks but if your on the PS2 or Xbox you can still check your pcs for quests/info etc so why cant we? Its not fair /cry.
