The other day I was scrolling through the market boards trying to find what was currently a good profitable item to sell and saw a Hi Pot (qty one) on sale for 333,333. Strange, I thought: it's probably RMT for gil transfer to a bank character.

There was also a post on the OF of someone swearing they'd logged in and had less gil than when they logged out. Of course this had the usual "lol" responses, but the OP stood fast.

This morning, on my server Facebook page the page owner posted this from Reddit. If true, it's scary reading; we already know about the crafting hacks and there is a lot of speculation on the quality of the code for the game. I really hope this isn't legitimate, but it harms no-one postng it.

My friend was afk at the summoning bell while taking a shower. When he came back he was getting insufficient gil errors despite the fact that he has over 3 million gil. Going back to the Summoning Bell he discovered he had bought a Bone Chip for 3 million gil while he was afk.

This wasn't someone in his house because no one in his household plays MMOs and several people in our linkshell suffered the same problem. They all "bought" bonechips for millions.
I've told all of them to submit tickets but this is a very big vulnerability. Be careful spending extended time at the summoning bell.

Edit: This is on Cactuar.

Looks like there may be an issue here, the post in the OF below has Screenshots of one of the transactions. This is scary.

I am shocked that they have this going on in this version. In FF11, many elite players would do this to other players. If it is like the old one, a hack can transfer funds between both players. It makes it look as if you got stuff from the auction house. The players are the auction house; they can change the price of the items to what they want. If it is like 11, they can take all Gil on the character. If they do it the lazy way like old days. You will see them go from player to player. They also can check the site that online for everything you have sold. That is how a lot of them would do it. FF11 and FF14 both have a version of this.
