I'm still hoping this is false information, but if not, this is possibly the worst client/server implementation I have ever seen.
Have they never heard of wireshark? Analyzing and then faking JSON requests is trivial for anyone with a modicum of network and programming skills.
I'm still not entirely convinced, though. If this was the case, why have bots mining shards when you could just add gil directly to your inventory?
I dont know, did you ever play Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast and Gamecube? Even the Xbox? All items stored client side.
Also, something tells me that all gil sellers are not the same. I dont think it is a monopolized industry. They apparantly develop proprietary techniques. What puzzles me is, who is the name of all that is holy is buying gil to support these moral compass lacking fools?
