Bots and Hacks are Ruin this GameFollow

I don't use a token. But I feel a lot safer on the PS3. I enter my password with the control. But maybe I should for the website stuff. hmmm.

This is my concern. My Blacklist had 4 entries within the first hour of playing. Unless something changes, 200 will not be enough. It's so bad, that I don't even bother blisting the /tells to save room for the spammers.

Started derpin around in this tread, no cares in the world.

reading on, oh wow.

"They're all saying I'm stupid for not using a token! I don't want to be hacked!"

SE it makes it really easy and free to set it up.

3 minutes later, BAM DONE Account secure.

THANKS GUYS <3

Chances are, it's the same RMT accounts, deleting and remaking a character with a different name so they can get around people /blacklist'ing them. I've removed the first few RMT from earlier in the week from my BL and I don't get /t from them anymore, or see them in cities.

I doubt Xdhdrhd Drhdrhdr is a stolen account name. Just a hunch.

Once you get a hacked account, you can make up to 39 other characters to advertise on any server you want, however, and you might not care what they're called.

Maybe its because english is not my motherlanguage? Oo ;D

Look, I hate to be a Debby Downer here but hacks, bots and RMT are here to stay. RMT have been in every game I've played on day one. Hell, they are often in the beta selling their wares knowing full well that all the character data is going to be deleted come release. Hacks and bots are usually only a couple days into a new game. The basic ones anyway. The more advanced ones come about in a week or two.

This isn't a problem with FFXIV. Its a "problem" with the industry in general. "Why do you have problem in quotation marks?" I'm glad you asked.

While RMT players are annoying, they generally aren't terribly smart. Camping your mobs? Pull them quicker. (In every game I've played with RMT running around, they rarely have a good grasp of game mechanics. You should. Use it to your advantage.) Undercutting your prices? Diversify and sell other things. Or undercut them back. If they don't make enough to justify making items, they'll stop.

Bots? Call a GM. Ok, granted SE has never been terribly good with dealing with them. Hacks? Again call a GM and hope for the best. Ideally SE will get on the ball and enable their GMs to do a better job.

These problems are here to stay. Just like traffic and dubstep. You can get frustrated by them, are you can do what you can do to minimize them.

Because calling everyone with a compromised account stupid is mature?

Is there a mobile app for the security token yet?

Let's say that someone's account is stolen because they use the same password on some other website and that site got hacked and all the password stolen. That's a very common way for an account to be compromised. Let's say that they are not a security expert know-it-all. Let's say, for example, that they are someone who don't use computers all that much, and are as such not really aware that using the same password was a security risk.

That person, in your opinion, is stupid? Because you are insulting a lot of people. Just saying.
