I can only recommend recording like Sors advised, yeah there are a few cheater out there and bots potentially, but not everything you don't understand is one (and people are jumping the gun fast, like in most PvP games where they lose).

I don't think "aimbots" would be useful if anybody is using them, cause of the lag and server ticks of this game (the moment you aim at somebody with low HP - he is probably already dead), to efficiently target and hit them you would have to play a range class too. Which is atm already a handicap cause they take 30% more damage and deal 15% less damage than melee. That's why its pretty hilarious to hear of aimbots in PvP, first time I heard it too.xD

Did you even read whole thing?. I said he got off his mount and starting attacking me and still said invalid target and never could hit him. Your invincibility end when do any action other than moving.

Thank you all for your answers.

Invincibility doesn't end (anymore?) when someone get off his/her mount and starts attacking. Now you can really fight an invincible person as long as the 15sec of invincibility are not over, which makes some people feel like an unfair thing cause those people can reach their base and defend it while still invincible.

From what I've heard, it's caused when you attack a Ninja right as they gain their hidden effect; Client side, you hit them and cancelled Hide. Server side, the Ninja got Hide off and you shouldn't have been able to even target them. Client updates with server side information (namely, that the Ninja is hidden) and... Gets confused, I guess? Who knows with SEs spaghetti coding, either way the result is the Ninja remaining hidden for your client.

That's easy to experience in duel at Wolves Den, then, I'll see how it goes. But I'm afraid it wasn't that (maybe it was), as I'm Monk (so melee) and from what I remember, I didn't use my dash attacks against him as I was only trying to escape (I would be ignorant if I were trying to duel a healer (without any cliff around to give hope)).

If you played enough pvp or ffxiv in genera you would know that he/she probably had the name Jalin. That name can cause bugs and even allow players to exploit glitches caused by using the name Jalin. It really is pathetic how they have not removed it since the release of ffxiv.
