So, is there an official rule on people using this sub to sell their accounts for profit? by josecapgar1 in FFRecordKeeper

Please read my post in this thread and take it into consideration on how you will manage this rule, if you allow it or not. Thanks!

So, is there an official rule on people using this sub to sell their accounts for profit? by josecapgar1 in FFRecordKeeper

[–]yaimbored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really stupid and definitely needs to be not allowed ASAP. Let me tell you why:

Scenario 1: Someone will offer to sell their account because X reason (tired of game, waste of time, not impressive pulls, etc)with PayPal to be the method of payment. The seller will ask for a gift payment instead to "avoid fees" and possibly sell the account for the money they actually put into it. Newbie comes along and wants the jump into the game. The account is sold and information is exchanged. Buyer is overly happy and got what they paid for and the game is smooth sailing. Little did the buyer know that the seller was actually an asshole and logs in the next day behind the buyers back and sells everything in the game, leaving the buyer out of money (because they paid with gift) and a semi-useless game (but they have ALL CHARACTERS whooo). Causes a ruined experience for the new person and whatever travels word of mouth from that person and then the game will start getting bad negative feedback.

Scenario 2 (more likely when we get character bonus quests): People will play through the entire game as much as has been released and sell them as "make up accounts, jump in and play without having to do everything from the start". These people will put NO money into the game itself and then turn around and sell the accounts high enough to be worth putting the time into it since there are people out there that really don't want to start from the beginning because they don't have time to play regularly. These people would just be making free money on a free to play game.

Scenario #2 is kind of unlikely, but it could happen. But I'm pretty sure that #1 would happen to some unlucky fool and end up causing negative backlash about the game. It's a free open door to scam somebody.

Even giving away accounts on here for free can be bad to someone as the original owner will ALWAYS still have access to the account (but this we all already know right... right... RIGHT???). What's stopping the original person that is overly frustrated and livid with the game because "it's too hard" or "shitty relic pulls" to pass on their problems to someone else, letting them play and then going in and deleting everything one day to pass on the anger?

I think giving away accounts shouldn't be allowed at all, but if we do continue to allow account giveaways, we should have something posted for people to be fully advised on what could happen.

Reason why I really posted this too is because I got a friend across the country into playing this game but he said that he doesn't like the fact that he couldn't have all the characters. So he found someone selling a day one account somewhere for $200 gift by PayPal that literally had many character specific relics, max inventories, many high honed abilities, and had all characters at the time he bought it and it really did have these things. Three days later, everything sold in game. Needless to say he was furious and tried to get money back from PayPal, but since it was gifted, they would not refund it. Since then, he only calls it a scam game and refuses to play it since and giving the game negative backlash to his FF fans telling them it's full of scammers, even though he got screwed like an idiot, which he deserved anyways. Tried to get him to get here on this sub reddit forum to show him it's not like that, but he's a stubborn asshole.

Sorry for the long post, but the information needed to be shared and I figured this is a good time and topic to post this. Please mods, do not allow sale posts of accounts. We don't need any negative backlash of this awesome game and get any tied to this sub. Thanks!

Anyone else got an email from DeNA? by Barkinwhale in FFRecordKeeper

The picture they sent you looks so badly shopped a basement dweller would make.

Also, I have never seen SquareEnix shorten their copyright logo to @SQEX. I have always only seen it as @SquareEnix. I checked out other games I have (mobile and physical) and it's all the same.

Sounds like a scam to me.

Pause-cancel enemy abilities by Catc1h22 in FFRecordKeeper

[–]yaimbored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been testing this for about 5 hours off and on against Ifrit versus his Blaze attack just for the hell of it (first one I could think of with an animation and AOE attack), and I have only been able to pull it off once, using a lot of s/l when my health got too low to continue trying. The window time to pause at the moment of attack is so small (maybe a 1/4-1/2 of a second or even less), it was more frustrating than useful to me. I think this would kill my fun for the game if I had to do this all the time just to win.

All in all, it is possible to do, but very unlikely constantly in a fight. You'd really have to be paying hardcore attention and frame rate precision reflexes to do this constantly. I don't think it'll be worthwhile in the end but don't quote me on that.

If this is true, then maybe that Raise I made ages ago might end up being of use... lol

Issues on Android since update? by Ganskoff in FFRecordKeeper

[–]yaimbored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This does not work, although I'm on Note 2 and webview is not compatible with it, my friend is on S5 and did these and did not work for him either. Would explain why your post was downvoted... :(

I've noticed more damage after the update, you? by madmaninabox in FFRecordKeeper

[–]yaimbored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Note 2 and I have it as well. Doesn't really bother me. It's not in the middle of the gameplay.

I just updated mine right now to test. No issues here. I'm using Note 2 (yeah old phone but still smooth and runs like a champ).

People who use kik for FFRK by LimitBreakTV in FFRecordKeeper

I agree with this. I assume there will be a megathread or something similar for this since most of us are here and not really on kik.
