To the WHM on Maelstrom, Aether Data Center that is cheating

And still losing

LOL@you

That is all

I can't even imagine how the White Mage is managing to cheat. The most I see is people purposely feeding to other teams, but that only aids in losing and not winning.

I didn't want to state specifically because I've heard they had out bans for things like that on this forum, even if you're talking about other people doing it. But he's definitely cheating lol

I'm only aware of name dropping being a thing. I'd actually be curious to know what this cheating is so I can keep an eye out. Let alone, I'm sure Square would like to know what's going on when it comes to unfair advantages.

It was a Lalafell WHM using a speed hack. He would constantly run over to enemy teams and spam Holy and then run away. Usually he'd die in the process though lol.

This speed hack I've seen more than once however.

I have other people that have seen what I had seen lol. Trust me I made sure to check whether he was sprinting or not before hand. He definitely wasn't. And like I said, this isn't the first time I've seen this speed hack. I've seen other players running alongside their teammates on chocobos at the same speed or faster

I can confirm this. I too have seen people who manage to run faster than me on a Chocobo, far faster. I've seen them in PVP use both speed and position hacks of late. It's killing my desire to game... I may go back to single player stuff. =(

I'd ask if you could PM me his/her name so I could keep a look out and record any fishy behavior- but at first glance the forums seem to lack a PM function. Bummer.

I think most of what you're thinking of can be explained by lag on your side. When I'm playing and riding on my chocobo next to a friend, there are times they appear to move in front of me and go faster than me. It's entirely explained by lag on my side, their side, or they took a better path and due to this were able to get slightly ahead of me.

There's already an anti-cheating mechanism built into frontlines where if you go faster than mounted speed, you get a 90k and get disconnected. You can search the history on these forums for many examples of this. People with laggy connections often suffer from this. They lag on their side, and when they un-lag, it appears to others that they have teleported forward. Even though this person hasn't cheated, the server interprets this as them moving faster than is allowed, and they get a 90k disconnection. If this ever happens to you, it is recommend you hop off your mount and the 90ks tend to decrease in frequency.

Back to your original point, I don't think this person was cheating or they would have gotten 90k'ed. If you have a video we could probably look at it and see what's going on better.

To be honest, it is very hard to tell what is cheating or simply just totally bugged.

People got immense lags and profit from it. I got no lag, which pretty much means, I am very easy to interrupt (if you can attack me and so on). Someone with huge delay could be simply totally immun to interrupts. At the beginning of FF14 2.0, when the lag especially in europe was immense, you could cast some spells (even Cure 1) while moving. And there are ways you can provoke such delay...

It's hard to tell, anyway, it's annoying.

Other Cheats or Bugs or whatever:
-I often enough got the problem, that I got no DR. 7s sleep. 7s sleep. 7s sleep. Yay...
-People like to be immun to some things - but without any message. Last game I used an instant holy inside a whole group. They were all directly around me, did not move away, they just did not get hit. No damage, no stun, no stun resist.
-Propbably another lag problem, but when you knock someone in one direction and he simply does not move at all (without immunity) or in the completely different direction.

Such things. As said, it's often enough obvious, that there is something very wrong, but of course it's hard to tell, if the player or the game is "cheating".

hope this wasn't me... I run in and holy groups of people then run out lol

All of these also sounds like lag. more players = more potential lag.

Some things may be, as said, others... not really. And as said, it's nothing new to "play with lag" to get an advantage.
