thistlechaserQuoting S-E:
"Recently it has come to our attention that an unauthorized third-party software tool was made available to the public. This tool allows players to change their job from anywhere in Vana'diel.
...
As a result of an ongoing investigation, it has been determined that over 600 accounts will be either suspended or terminated for the malicious and intentional use of this third-party tool."
I'm not sure which part to boggle over first. That the tool exists? (DROOL!) That people used it and actually expected S-E not to find out about it? (Um, pretty stupid...) Or that S-E actually took a strong action against it? (Assuming it is a strong action. Were only 600 people using it?)

I wasn't intending to post today, but that was interesting enough that I wanted to share. Both RL and FFXI-life have sucked major ass all week, and I've been strongly considering quitting either or both.
I didn't do anything but farm on-game last night, so now my mules are full of stuff to sell. That's all well and good, but what the hell am I supposed to do now? (Have we really only skipped one week of main-job static so far? Is it still five weeks till we can level again? *CRY*) The whole LS is busy with leveling and missions and crap, and I spend most of my time trying to figure out how the hell to kill enough time to reach bedtime.
But hey, I wasn't going to post because I didn't want to make an all-bitching post, so I'll end this here.
