I thought Draylo got banned for trying to do reset on his account after giving Gil to a friend, not botting.
I'm not banned, and this thread is way off topic. Let's not talk about me, they should just close this thread.

No, that is far from the truth and a rumor. It makes me laugh all the rumors people come up with, but you'll have to buy my autobiography. For now don't worry about me.

He was banned for using exploits.
It is always quite funny how in every thread he comes in and passive aggressively attacks everyone and then plays victim. Classic narcissistic behavior despite the lack of any notable achievements.

Also if you're using FFXI achievements as some kind of metric to determine whether or not someone is justified in being a narcissist that is very odd. You....do realize that this is the internet, right?
Everyone always uses online achievements as some kind of metric to determine narcissistic behavior. So sayeth Post #31,429.

I've never interacted with Draylo but it is ironic that he was one of the primary people crying about BST in 2014/2015, then they nerfed both BST and BLU into irrelevance.
On the other hand, the fact that I've never seen his character moving in-game in the two years I've been on Asura is points in his favor.

You have a lot to say about someone you've never interacted with before.

Why was BST OP in 2014/2015?
Identical to conduit burns. Which is ironic cause it's fine for smn but not ok for bst.
(It's still exactly the same as it was, for reference, you just have to use a SMN for alex now)

I don't think m(any) were good enough to pull it off, but the ability was there.
I never used it/saw it used other than Kirin/WoC/T3 Reisen, everyone was too set in the scholar/death strat

I never used it/saw it used other than Kirin/WoC/T3 Reisen, everyone was too set in the scholar/death strat That's the reason why BST strats never really got off the ground.
It was very powerful (still is to a small point) at the time, but because it required some sort of ability to understand the job better than your average "hit this button for maximum effect" job like SCH and BLM was at the time, it was never abused, at least not as much as SMN was for a while.
People generally use the path of least resistance, and BST strats were not it.

was before people learned about AC so i dont think so but i wasnt around for that period, it was "OP" because due to just how busted NMs were back then with their aoes/eva/etc and how good initial 119 pet stats were using pets was a far better means of dealing with NMs, but some people complained and it was said to be OP, thus distance nerf, even though smn can do all this and do it far better due to delay on pet ready moves

BST was never OP. They became the safe meta for awhile and it pissed some players off that BST was shouted for everything. The real issue was ilevel content scaled too high. Reisenjima T3 use to have over 2000 evasion iirc. So it became favorable to use pets with 4k HP and higher stats than players could easily reach. Then sit out of range.
Nerfing distance didn't change anything, it was still the meta. Players just ran in and out to issue commands. They nerfed iLvl mobs evasion, combat skills and AoE damage. Between that, job points, and easy to get gear from Ambuscade it brought diversity back.
Ironically, the BLU community lead the pitchfork mob against BST then got nerfed through lack of gear progression.
Reminds me how they yanked TH3 from BST pets because players were pissed at seeing BSTs in Dynamis. Now everyone can get TH4 easy enough and they still won't revert it back lol.

Actually no thats incorrect, what exploit? Hilarious what you think you know. I am not playing a victim,
i just didn't want to continue derailing the thread.

You know, if you keep poking the bear in the nose, you are going to come out one arm short. And right now, the bear is already out for blood.
But at least it will be fun to watch.

This morning (November 18th, 2019) we were contacted by an anonymous user who had discoverd a serious flaw in certain modified versions of the unsupported voidwatch addon that has been widely distributed throughout the community. Use of these modified versions of the addon could result in a ban. In light of recent events and the likelihood that users could unintentionally trigger this flaw we felt it was necessary to bring this to the community's attention.
We have contacted the author and confirmed that the original version distributed at the link below does not have this flaw. We believe this flaw was initially benign, but became exploitable following the emergency maintenance on November 13th, 2019; however, we cannot be certain of this. We will not provide details of how to exploit this flaw, and this issue has been reported to SE.
The original unmodified version of the voidwatch addon can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ex1jtgqz4jtmxd8/voidwatch.lua?dl=0
This addon is not distrubuted by Windower, and is not endorsed by us in any way. Use at your own risk.
