Curio Vendor Moogles all gone...
Which exploit is being removed this time?
No idea on this one. I checked invalid indexes on them multiple times over the last few years and they handled them gracefully. Possible they broke it when they added Limbus items and it took this long for someone to find? Also possible it's something silly like an item that was able to be resold for a profit (directly or indirectly).
Removed with no notice seems almost certain to be one, though. Probably maint incoming too, since I doubt they can put it back.

There was definitely something - on Ragnarok for the past 3 days there was a level 4 WAR constantly going up to the Curio Moogle in Port Sandy, interacting with it, turning around, interacting with the HP crystal, disappearing (very briefly, only for 3 or 4 seconds), re-appearing and repeating over and over.
/sea wasn't picking them up being in any other zone so it could have just looked like they were interacting with the HP and just pos warping but I have no clue what would have been beneficial to do this with. Surely the community would have known if something from the Moogle sold for even 1 gil more than you bought it for, right?

If you were the person who found that, would you tell everyone? Could also be a multiple step thing, like turning in ancient beastcoins or AMAN reclaimer or bayld trade. Could be a straight exploit, where some input wasn't validated correctly. My gut says it's something they overlooked adding the limbus items, but obviously that doesn't mean a whole lot. Doubt we'll know for sure unless SE says so(unlikely) or whoever found it feels like bragging.

There were definitely a couple items that could be bought for X and be resold for X*1.3 (or so, I think), and the profit was postulated on zoning. Guess someone scripted a way to abuse it and they finally noticed.
They've poofed on all servers.
ON JP forum, they've said removed them due to a bug.

On 12/9, 1 day before the update, I did see an issue where I would buy an item from the Curio Moogle, say a Reraiser, and the reply from the curio moogle would be: "You bought a tavnazian taco" ...but my inventory would still have the correct item, a Reraiser.
It was a transient problem then, that I think is most likely due to congestion/server load. This is just an educated guess, but I have suspected for a long time, that the underlying NPC API are global in scope (i.e. 1 'resilient' endpoint for all servers).

YOU are supposed to know what is happening at all times, keep it from everyone, and then reveal it to us only AFTER trillions of gil is amassed and we're all ***-out for the next few months. Hugely disappointed in you Thorny. Yeah, knew about the 17 Gil item, noticed that last month, we talk about it in one of my discord, just didn’t think someone would actually do it, sounds really stupid as it would have take so much trading to make anything meaningful, even for RMT, but maybe it’s something totally different, who knows ?!?
Even if it was 1 gil someone would do it all day long
None of the problems I know of with this NPC are new. As such, we should probably not speculate about what they _are_ fixing here because there's a chance that they fix something else and we've revealed some game-breaking bug.

We've been seeing someone named Windiq doing the exact same here in Port Windurst. They'll go to the Curio Moogle, runs to HP crystal, vanishes for a few seconds then immediately reappears. Rinse and repeat.

someones been automating running several anon bots in bayld gear to/from the port waters curio moogle to homepoint and then disappearing to other zones for weeks non-stop on bahamut.
maybe devs should pay attention to economy exploits instead of working on trash FES key events
