NEO Nyzul 2.0

[Camiie]

Do the devs see the extremely rampant cheating, and the fact that those who cheat feel more than justified in doing so, as a sign that this event needs serious adjustment? I know it probably isn't actionable, but people are feeling so justified and I guess untouchable that they are brazenly admitting cheating at Neo-Nyzul. It wasn't SE's intention to create an event where players felt cheating was necessary to even have a chance at winning was it? That does seem to be what's been produced, intentionally or not.

With all the complaints on this and other forums and the cheating, is that not a sign that everything isn't as fine with Neo-Nyzul as the devs seem to believe? It may fit their vision of a perfect event, but to the players it's a disaster of epic proportions. I've tried it and choose to ignore it, because I feel this event wasn't intended for a "normal" player like me. Others, some who wouldn't otherwise do so, cheat in whatever way they can to bypass what they feel are unfair design choices. Often their excuse is that the dev team has turned a deaf ear to their complaints and recommendations. I've urged some to come here and offer more complaints and more input, but they've given up hope for any sort of positive response from the devs. They're resigned to cheating their way through the event as their only recourse.

I think it would be very wise of the devs to set their own ideas aside for once and really listen to the players here before things get any worse. The cheating and negative feelings toward SE are growing and festering over the randomness and unfairness in this event. SE is often very slow to take action, and has obviously been far too slow in this case. The devs need to start acting now to save face and prevent player frustration from boiling over even more and to avoid having to do another mass ban as with Salvage.

So apparently noone is able to make a video of themselves winning Nyzul, even though I offered 5 marrows.

For 1, I doubt you would pay real money to change servers so that you could hand me 5 virtual items on a bet. 2, its not worth time to go record a video of me doing it when I have to ask the other 5 to do it as well so you can see they arnt cheating either. I think this is the general idea on your offer, sorry to disappoint.

So let me get this straight... He's offering roughly 80 million gil to the first group to film a winning run without cheating, and people think it's too inconvenient?

Lol, I didn't ask for anything but a video and if you happen to come to quetz I'll give you 5 of my 200 marrows. Worse case scenario you post a video proving me wrong and it costs you zero. It's not like you lose anything.

Well really, offering what is equal to about 13mil per person being that it would be everyone in the group doing the run, and then everyone recording the run, so if your selling them, 13mil. Also as I said, I doubt someone would really pay 15 dollars to change servers, give someone some items, and go back for another 15.

I didn't ask for everyone in the group to make a video, so it's 80M to the first guy of your group to make the vid. Your are trying too hard lol.

I ask people in my LS if anyone wanted to do it, but your reward is lacking in motivation to get us to go. How about you offer 5 marrows each and we'll do it. Then it would even be worth server transferring a mule to get them.

EDIT:::
Maybe I should point out that my LS as a whole makes like 70m a day, that might make people understand what Im talking about when I say we dont care enough about making an extra 50m as per gchans offer to go do some content we've already cleaered.

Not really, if only I record then how do you know the other 5 aren't cheating? You ask for a legit win however with only 1 player recording you can not be sure it is a legit run.

I wonder who will get shining shinies the first. Your LS or mine ? Countdown D-7.
