Has anyone beaten leves without cheating?

I was out at an Aetheryte the other day minding my own business when I noticed this fellow who would appear at camp, run off and appear again a little later.

Curious, I followed him and discovered he was using a hate reset exploit to solo harder leves where he'd go all out to kill one mob then return after dying, rinse and repeat all the way to victory.

When will SE ban these obvious cheaters?

Edit: Trolled

Well he is dying/returning so it really isnt a cheat per say or an exploit.

In fact he was probally just hurting himself cause all the running/fighting/returning/running again probally was taking him longer to earn exp than if he just fought mobs his own lvl or got an exp pt. So just be content to know he was inflicting a self punishment.

What's a leve?

But he was able to continue the fight hate free until he engaged again. The mobs should keep hate and pursue the player even if they return. Either that or all the mobs in the leve should respawn.

Oh, I get it.

King moogle thread in disguise.

I C what U did there.

Clever.

damn it, you got me, i thought this is related to Moogle Fight "Exploit"

I lol'd at least twice.

I'm expecting a "Has anyone finished a crafting synth without cheating?" next. Then one for behest. Then one for chocobo caravan. Then buying from the market ward.

The real problem here is everyone has their own opinion on what "cheating" means, but, in the end, the only definition of "cheating" with regards to FFXIV that matters is SE's, and until they say "working as intended" or "sent to devs for fixing" this ridiculousness will continue.

Ah but your logic is flawed.

If you are pursued by the mob all the way back to the node or crystal than if you happened to be killed even on a leve set to your own lvl, there would be no real way to complete the leve with the mobs hovering over you waiting for you to revive to just kill you again when you do. That would render a leve an instant fail upon death. Ok for King Moogle ^_~ but not for a leve.

Also if you made your respawn tactic in play, well thats just a bigger exploit. 8/9 mobs killed, allow the last one to kill you, return, wait on weakness, run back and kill 8/9 again, rinse and repeat. 1 leve = endless mobs to kill.

He was wasting his time and getting less exp in the long run, just be content with the fact that hes a noob wasting his own time

It's a joke right?

This thread is art.

how do you know he wasnt just simply dying after killing 1 mob?

ive done that lol

go in.. kill 1.. get smoked.. return and go kill another one.. get smoked etc etc

When SE will ban people that use gear lvl 50 at lvl 1?

Why is the woman in your sig sniffing her hand?

Can we also ban everyone who lives in Japan... and California... anyone next to SE's servers? They clearly have an unfair against us NA players because their ping is so much lower! So many lag cheats have come from this atrocity!

PS: The amusing part is, that whole repair damage thing makes Return Exploits extremely expensive and goofy. Once a piece of gear hits 0 its like having nothing on, and with a weapon you do 1s! Lol.

What about RP we have to have one for RP since it uses so many game mechanics!
