I'm curious since I've only been playing on Nasomi for about a month, and it's made clear that any kind of botting/cheating/addons/exploits are against the rules and will be harshly punished or you'll be banned. Heck you can even have two characters HELMing at the same time, because it would be an advantage, but people were knowingly duping items in the past and that won't be a huge advantage?
Is it just a different era on the server now where the rules are this severe and it was more laid back in the past? There is obviously tons of talk and admittance to exploiting, cheating, questionable actions, and everything in this thread. I guess my question is, is it a time thing that made it okay for these people to do these things, or is it a fame or "these guys have been around forever" kind of thing so they're allowed to break the rules?
People knowingly duping items/exploiting for gil is what led to the gilpocalypse, a wiping of 3/4th of the gil on all characters. As for the 2nd paragraph, there was a time when the rules were much more lenient when it came to punishment. From my playtime on the server people generally do not get out of jail but that was not always the case from what I've been told.
Nasomi also only acts on hard evidence. Him putting in detection/autojail measures is what led to the reduction in use(via bannings/fear) of a lot of stuff.
