Dafuq. I mean, literally every single thing these people add they create another *** exploit.
Quote: ■ Countermeasures have been implemented to address illicit activity involving the NPC "Shabi" in Western Adoulin.
Was shabi giving out infinite keys with a packet request or underflowing a free REMA. I wonder if that means that someone found out about it and reported it, or they actually have someone watching their game and the new content they put in it live to make sure it's working properly.
I vote the first
No one was being weird about it (6 tarus afk in the wall) and no one posted about it
There's no reason to spawn infinite keys. The mobs don't drop gil items worth a ***.

Smarter RMT were poking and proding Shabi and broke the NPC, he became unresponsive to other players.

That Twitter post mentions npc sale price possibly being a thing. Which is hilarious to me if true, because a once an hour key that sells for slightly higher is the biggest issue on their plates to fix
Gotta be something different

Multiple (2) people posted how the NPC was unresponsive.

Those trust merits so useful! 10 more str... holy game breaking
If they keep moving at this breakneck speed DD trust will be competitive with a naked player in 10 more years.

It'll be expensive as well, in terms of trust points, as moving a single category from 50 to 60 should cost 60 points.

The system atm is kinda lame, and a very missed opportunity. They could have done it per trust and extended a lot of content lifetimes, even tho most people would not like that.
There is still potential with expanding the trusts via stats, but I am more interested to see how the equipment will work out. Adding unique things to them would be quite nice. Or something to influence how each trust type plays would be interesting.

I find it hilarious there is already a half-decent system for powering up NPCs that they're willfully ignoring in favour of trust stats increases.
A player can already give fellows armor to wear and change their AI and have them stand in or out of range and also they attack and buff you without you having to swing first.
But I guess it's a better idea to ignore all that and make up something a lot worse.
I would bet good money the reason they're ignoring the fellow systems is the guy that wrote them no longer works on XI and no one knows how they work. Touching them would break fellows, and they don't want to deal with that.
So we get.. whatever this is.

Or something to influence how each trust type plays would be interesting. iirc, back when they introduced the concept of the "automaton like" trust gear, they said it would be role based. There are seven trust roles, (though one is the special geo type and I'm guessing they won't get gear) so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out with different types within a role.
Maybe there will be trust gear that simultaneously gives support role trusts song/roll/enhancing magic duration, instead of separate pieces that won't work together. Or if there's a block rate one for tank trusts, maybe it'll have inquartata for the shieldless tanks.

I just want *** duration for buffs gfdi, and an option to turn off Trust WSs and AoE ***.

Literally just let me turn off Joachim's Paeons. I don't even care if I can't make him better at anything.

Trust system instantly became a failure when their winning formula (ff12 gambit system) wasn't used or something similar to that. They always have to try and reinvent these wheels even with all these passed titles under their belt. Its actually impressive.

Um actually FF12 came out after FF11 so they couldn't use Gambits because they hadn't thought of it yet

That is irrelevant. Trusts are today not in 2004

Delete 99% of Trusts and just give us Cornelia full time, and I wouldn't bat an eye. Begone, Volker
By Dodik 2026-08-23 16:55:37
Cornelia, Matsui-P, Monberaux, a Cor that only does chaos and just sits there (savage blade would be awesome), and a brd that does one march and one minuet.
Too much?

I prefer the cor to be using detonator. Hot fusion property.

There is a COR that only uses Chaos and nothing else. It's called "qultada, swing once, disengage, dismiss, resume fighting". Been doing this for the longest. Impossible to bust if you get him on his first phantom

I will never forgive SE for creating Luzaf trust, a Corsair with some of the most badass-looking JSE, can use Leaden salute, 3 weapons, but zero rolls. You have one job as Corsair, and they made him do everything but it. Good grief.
By Draylo 2026-08-24 01:56:35
Least they got trusts for their jobs, BLU nothing :( I am waiting to this day for Raubahn
By LightningHelix 2026-08-24 07:25:03
Honestly, it's kind of weird that the RDM trusts have such variety - it kind of suggests they had a general idea what they should be doing with duplicate support trusts? And then they just called it a day and phoned every other job in.
King of Hearts vs. Koru-Moru vs. Arciela is an actual decision to change based on the content you're doing and who you're doing it with!

What about Karaha-Baruha, the only "summoner" trust that doesn't even summon. Legendary hero of Windurst who summoned Fenrir and saved the nation, reduced to a very basic healer. At the very least he uses TP to use two Fenrir skills, which also technically makes him an even worse healer...
They could have at least made him do old FF summons or even some mobs where they summon a creature, it does a skill then disappears, but that would be asking too much. Technically by the story it would not make sense for him to summon any avatars, but the elemental spirits exist if they really cared.

I always thought the smn that only heals was a joke on all the smns lvls 1-40ish that had no summons and were glorified mana pools for their whm sub.
