In November 2008, we discovered an issue that allowed players to create multiple items for certain treasures and rewards in areas such as Salvage and Assault by exploiting the game system. The issue was fixed during emergency maintenance on November 26, 2008 about Ffxi gil. However, we discovered that some players had already exploited the issue and used it to gain additional items before it was addressed. We then investigated more than a years worth of logs throughout all areas.

As a result of the investigation, approximately 400 players were temporarily suspended based on the evidence gathered. Approximately 550 players who committed more serious misconduct had their accounts banned. We are working hard to ensure that these kinds of issues do not occur again in FINAL FANTASY XI GIL. However, if you discover any problems with the game system, please submit a GM call or fill out the feedback e-mail form to report the problems to us, instead of exploiting or spreading the issue about Ffxi gil.

Now if I said nothing at all and flogged of a kc once a week every week for a year and a half well aware that I should not be getting them, I would accept with grace that I would deserve to be banned right then and there. I failed to hold up my end of the terms of service.

Unlike that situation, this was a deliberate det of actions in order to circumvent normal conditions and force a different result, it happens once and you report it, SE would prob have said "Ahh well oops, keep the drops we will fix it up at some point" it was because the players refused to let them know specifically because they wanted better drops about Ffxi gil. Those who manned up and accepted they were wrong, grats it takes a lot. Those who are crying about injustice and the like, it is not going to earn you much from people, bar those around you more than likely.
