SEGA threatening to ban players who abuse Chain Vol/Banish

The bug will be fixed next maintenance, but they've put out a warning that players who intentionally abuse it may be banned. Just in time for the scheduled Magatsu!

I doubt they can actually keep track of who's using Chain Vol/Banish, but they did actually ban people in the Danbo Suit incident, so...

I guess they couldn't get the fix done in time for yesterday's update. I dunno how I feel. I mean, on one hand, it's fairly shitty of them to ban people for creative use of game mechanics in a rather laid back PvE game. I mean, it's not like there's any world firsts or PvP (well, time attacks, but I don't think this trick is relevant to those) at stake here. On the other, even just a week of organized Magatsu farming would lead to an absurd amount of excubes with which to trivialize grinding.

lmao. Might as well ban people who abused anga farming. Might as well ban people who abused exit bursts. What the actual fuck sega?

Taking advantage of mechanics is cheating!

I should have so many fraudulent charges against my name in that case.

Yeah seriously where is Sega starting to threatening to hand out bans to those who quad-dash?

What about the people who did Code skipping in Amdusica TA? What about the exploit that kills the wave of enemies with one Satalite cannon in Nab II? I know I'm ranting a lot but this is seriously retarded.

Also if they really want to stop players from doing this then why not do an Emergency Maintenance or better yet, why didn't you do it this patch?

Sega seems to enjoy sucking the little enjoyment that's in the game saying they are fixing when in reality they are doing it so more players are thirsty for "content".

It really wouldn't be hard if you could query for instances of damage above a certain value, class combinations in each quest, quest time results, or a number of things really. Good question if they actually have any of those resources that they'd be willing to search through.

What was the Danbo Suit incident?

edit: read below, I got it wrong. _(:3

I might be a bit off, but the Danbo Suit incident was that you could enter the code on multiple systems at the same time and everyone would receive the item, so people abused teh fuck out of that.

*citation needed

Might as well add that at that point they sold for 20-30 mil a piece and some people made quick money from that.

Pretty much people entered and exited the building at the festa event to get multiple Danbo codes. Sega handed out one week bans to people who registered more than one code at the same time.
