PvP cheating and afkers

In short, the response I got was "we know."

I'm not denying that positional hacks exist, but I've noticed a lot of lag in the last couple weeks in Frontlines where players looks like they are teleporting around but it's just bad lag. It really works out in my favor a lot because as long as my computer thinks they are in range, I can attack them, so I've killed many players who looked like they were standing still but were moving and way out of range and I killed them, only to see their corpse teleport to where they really were.

I know what you mean, but I have seen speed hack, too.
In the real case, I found them moving extremely fast on my mini map, the icon just moving very very fast constantly and not like "teleport".

This was in Feast though, not Frontline. And no other point in the game was lagging (all other characters were moving normally)

I've also seen some healers have unlimited sprinting abilities. Like their sprint never has a cooldown.

Their sprint *doesn't* have a cooldown because they're using third party software that increases speed. It can also be used to ensure it's almost impossible to hit the person (various techniques). There's several people in the top 100 that use hacks openly on their Twitch channels but the white knights *always* come to their defence if it's pointed out.

The response should have been “We don’t care”.

It's going up on my Youtube channel shortly. Won't post it here because I can't, but I'm more than happy to show anyone and everyone that this is SE's "successful" PvP with "more participation".

I'm a week late to the post but if you still are willing to show the videos I would love to see them sometime :o

They can't post that on the forums, it's against the rules.

I can't, as he said, but search my character name or profile name on Youtube and it's not hard to find at all.

I want everyone to see what's happening, and what isn't being done about it.

Ahh yes, I'm sorry - I should have clarified that it's a third party software that does this, not a trait in-game or something (though IMO sprint shouldn't count as one of your abilities - just put it on the same cooldown as normal)

I feel inclined to believe at this point that the "report cheating" functions both in-game and on the Lodestone are just fluff and don't even do anything.

It goes beyond the suspension of disbelief that the GMs can be this inept at spotting and punishing cheaters.
