My friend was over the other day, and I showed him http://www.exploitsrus.com/ffxi.html It is a site with cheats, bugs, dupes, etc for final fantasy xi. He told me it was against the rules for ffxi to do this. Is this true? I am used to cheating on video games for my whole life, so I was sort of shocked to hear this.

As soon as the mods find out, yes, expect to be BANNED LIKE THESE PEOPLE

And if by chance you posted this in disguise, trying to gain popularity for your favorite hack site there, let it be known that the MORE people use a cheat, the MORE likely they are to get detected by Square Enix and banned.

Talk about your ultimate backfires!

Cheating in an online game is lame. It takes away the fun for the other people cause you're to lazy to earn your rewards propely. FFX1 is a hard game I must admit. But your exploit site probably is meh, becuase the workers there are vehiment on weeding out bugs and exploits.

SE would ban a person immediatly. Somehow they find out whos using these exploits.
