[Video proof] - Speed hacker in Seal Rock

I re-uploaded the video. This time, the culprit's name is hidden.

https://youtu.be/RrFAaG3_TNc

I have filed a report in-game including his name, the exact time and date, etc.

Big thanks to all of you who advised me not to show his name so I wouldn't go against the general forum rules.

you havnt linked a video

I'd delete and block the name, unfortunately you will find yourself on the oopposite end of the banhammer
Naming and shaming is not allowed
Also no link

Thanks. I took down the name. I read the general forum rules and I don't think I'm doing anything wrong though. I'm not personally attacking or shaming the guy. I'm reporting an obvious case of cheating.

Haha I guess thats when he popped his cheats. I looked too tasty!

Positively ridiculous, they were moving at sprint (or possibly even mount) speed the whole time. Under the bridge node when they ran to the back of the group, just watching that little X weave so quickly between their allies made it really obvious how fast they were going.

I really hope SE bans this user for this. I'd hate to see these start becoming a common occurrence because of inaction on their part.

What GC were they on? xD

It says the video is private :/

THANK YOU! A lot of people, like myself, have tried to get evidence of these cheating scumbags for a while. Now nobody can deny their existence. It ruined Seize for myself and a few of my friends as we'd run into a premade with several of these and it was just unpleasant to play against. Worse than unpleasant actually, it was annoying watching people cheat and be unable to do anything (so hard to prove).

Yeah, just noticed that. Maybe the OP is editing out names and will repost. I hope so anyway!

Unfortunately it is becoming even more common as I believe it's a simple option when using the 'harmless' software many people seem to use. It's bad enough in open world but in PVP it's terrible. Had a SMN in Wolves Den on Friday who caught up to us at the top of the steps by running around the outside of the arena whilst we sprinted straight ahead. His Garuda was permanently ahead too. It's just not feasible to do without a cheat. =(

yo, someone upload on a mirror or something. i want to see what that looks like because i think i've seen the same.

Very sorry about that. It's public again so you can view it now.

I don't remember putting the video "private". Maybe it does so automatically when you make changes to something.

Thanks for the heads up!

2/2 he obviously wasnt moving fast enough.

It's very sad that people are just brazen enough to do this, especially in open sight.

I've not seen any sort of speed hack like that, but on a rare occasion I do see a non-black mage (aetherial manipulation I think its called?) doing some sort of odd teleporting. Unfortunately as others have stated it's very hard to capture proof of this...and I almost never record pvp matches :/

I would hope SE does recognize that this is an issue and takes some course of action.

S-E has never been good about making the public aware of hackers by name, because, like someone else said, they don't want the so-called "witch hunt" where players harass each other about suspected illegal activity.

Better to send a report to S-E and include your video link, along with the date and time you captured the footage. They should be able to review their logs, and then observe that player when they next enter matches in order to see if they are indeed an offender in the way we think they are. And then from there, maybe they can devise the tools to catch or counter their methods. All you're doing here is cruising for a ban yourself. (Sadly...)

According to the forum guidelines this could constitute:

• Posting that constitutes discrimination against another forum member or group (also including forming groups for the purpose of discrimination), insults, slander, libel, harassment of a group or individual.
• Posting seeking to damage or disparage Square Enix, the forum, FINAL FANTASY XIV, or others.

Best play it safe and report through official channels TBH. Though I do appreciate the heads-up personally. Next time I see someone whizzing about and without rubber-banding indicative of latency issues, I will take care to report them myself in the game. This lets me know what symptoms to keep an eye out for.

Very nicely edited video and yes I think all kinds of cheating are a cancer that do more harm to the game experience than anything else could.

inb4 OP is the one banned for showing that guy's name lol. That was interesting,I have never seen it before, thanks

Nice video!

SE needs to start implementing anti-cheat measures now, especially with ranked Wolves' Den coming out in 3.2. If people are cheating in a casual game mode such as Seal Rock, they are certainly going to do it in a more competitive setting as well.

inb4 your unfortunate ban. Friends of mine have gotten banned posting about bots/hacker ruining PvP. In the end, the bot/hacker always wins and continues to do whatever they please, while the accuser gets banned. Love how the system works <3.

Unless posting a video is different from pictures, we'll see my friend.

(Psst! Sprint and Mounts move at the same speed.)

I agree, this is ridiculous. I've read about purported speedhackers in the PvP forums before, but I was always skeptical. It can be exceptionally difficult to tell the difference between lag and speedhacking, and no proof was ever posted. Yet the tool in this video decided it was a good idea to make it so blatantly obvious. It can't even be denied, anymore: this is either the most well-edited video I've ever seen or currently working speed hacks for FFXIV do exist. This recording is excellent proof.

OP, I recommend you edit the video once again to remove any instances of that tool's name. Just throw some captions where you spammed emotes to explain that you were doing it to record his name on video but had the blur the name out due to the forum's naming and shaming rule. There's a very real chance you'll be banned for naming and shaming, otherwise. Your video will serve as proof all the same even with the name blurred.

In any case, I commend you for making this proof and bringing this to everyone's attention. I hope this will force SE into action in regards to handling cheating in PvP.

They already are in Wolves Den, they did it during the Primal WD Event last Friday.

Why should the OP get banned? All that can be seem is that the cheating scum was playing Warrior. Unless, of course, outing someone as a Warrior is a banning offence. >.>

inciting witchhunts, directly or indirectly, is generally considered harrasment

So basically if I claim I saw a bad BLM I will be banned? Don't think so.

if you say you saw a hacker/cheater, thats fine

if you say you saw a hacker/cheater and then provided the server/character name/ location/what the character looks like and give it to the public, you can indirectly spark a witchhunt

this is pretty obvious, one results in the possibility of someone being harassed by people, the other does not

lol goddamnit I got to this late and the name has been edited out =(.
I just want to know who that guy is and where can i get this, as SE does not Ban. (sarcasm)

silly selli, that's 'cause you have stubby legs.

I hope the prick gets banned, thats another thing that can hurt pvp more. Even though its already pretty dead.

Well, more and more people are pwning with the blessings of "Leviathan".
Met 2 Mael summoners who stayed perma Sprint+1.-----------"Helper" programs ruin the game for everyone else.

With Sprint being an action, SE probably cant trace these guys unless they go above sprint speed. God forbid anyone report one of these guys and get themselves banned for inciting a witchhunt.

In FFXI, SE outright ignored flee tools. The only thing they ever banned for was item duplication and profanity.

My brother complained to me the other day, because a tank was doing the same thing in alexander 4, and even admitted to cheating.
They need find a way to prevent people from doing this. Cheaters always make the game worse for others.

And tbh, cheaters deserve to be harassed (to a certain degree), actions have consequences.

I understand both the side of the problem,
I really hate that cheaters can ruin the game an u will still see them there even after a report (cause I saw it more than one time),
but I remember too when a player said me to "stop cheating" during a Secure FL, just because I was lagging and so my movements seemed strange (I even saw my corpse crawling on the ground XD)

Wichunt is aproblem but by far can't be resolved overprotecting cheaters identity asking people to even dont' show materials that prove they was cheating, the OP even didn't asked for a "rise your weapon and let's go kill him" ._.
Banning the OP would probably make me leave this game.

Thanks for doing this vid, following all the rules and all that. Really gives everyone a glimps on what to look out for.
