Another World First Clear got disqualified due to "Cheating"

My statement is more of a better balance. I do not think savage or ultimates should not exists but not releasing any sort of content more accessible that isn't over in an hour sonce DT release is bad. It has been savage and the iltimates. The alliance raid is good but thats only a weekly thing. The only ones against that are savage raiders who rhink no one else's opinion matters unless they do hard content. There are players like me who don't do that stuff but also don't log in to RP at venues either as my hobby. I am tackling some older stuff but that is not an answer that I find acceptable. There should be something new other than a short MSQ patch and garbage hildebrand which I despise but am forced to do incase something else like last expansion relics are gated behind it. So have your savages but other players deserve stuff too whether raiders want to accept that or not.

Edit: I am only doing older content because I have literally nothing else to do in current endgame. And when that dries up then I will be down to logging in once a week if nothing comes out.

I don't do savage because I can't, I don't do it because I don't find it fun at all. It is tedious and isn't complicated. Memorize or die and if someone else screws up. Then die. Not really fun for me.

Ultimates are a very cheap method to stretch content. So i doubt, that they will disappear.




Cheers

If they actually did that, there would be a mass unsub the likes of which have never been seen. I remember when the pandemic happened and they said they weren't going to have more then TEA during Shadowbringers... Many raiders starting cussing and blaming the "casual" crowd.

If SE removed the entire way of being able to read the data from the game, then people would adapt, parsers = over rated and the only check you need to put in, is if you can beat the combat dummy assigned for to be able to do the EX, Savage, Ultimate or similar duty meaning you need the achievement from beating x type Dummy.

And problem solved.

Yah... Modern parsing programs work by reading the game packets sent to and from the game. They kinda can't just remove those lol.

And good luck with encrypting them. It'd be broken in a day.

Very few people Ultimate raid. There would actually be 'more' players coming back to XIV if they used those resources on more normal and EX level content additions.

Honestly I think the modders would never have started modding if they actually gave Viera and Hroth the same attention to helmets and hair as the other races in the first place. That seems to be the pipeline: Player doesn't like that SE is lazy and released yet another $30 clothing on the mog station instead of fixing the game, they start modding, then they start cheating, and then they world first an ultimate and get caught mod beasting. Someone on here said that more people use that mare thing than people who use the steam client. That's a lot of ultimate clears.

Clearly they should remove damage-based combat and replace it with actual DDR. If everyone does all the steps correctly for 15-20 minutes, the fight ends and you win.

Fuck man. Warn a dude before you make your slope that slippery!

Also it's wild that you think people started modding more due to Viera and Hrothgar. Modding begins, and always has begun, with players wanting a feature to exist that doesn't already exist. That's why we have a parser. Why we have a thousand mods that do small things like defaulting answers to "yes." Why we have an alternative launcher that actually fits modern standards.

Mods exist to fill a gap, and they have existed long before a few people got upset that their anime races couldn't equip a hat.

I'm 99% confident that dropping ultimates would not result in more/better normal and mid core content. I think people are grossly overestimating the resources used to make ultimates.
