People teleport hacking mining nodes

Just witnessed seven different people teleporting between mining nodes. Some were even appearing under the ground to mine them. I know hacking exists, but seven appearing in front of me within a five minute period is a bit worrying. If this is happening to this extent already, god knows what it will be like a few weeks/months down the line. This is going really screw with server economies (if I can randomly see seven within five mins at one spot, how many more are there around the world?).

I of course reported them. Have recorded a video too, but not uploaded it yet (has only just happened).

EDIT: An eighth one has joined it. I give up. Spending more time reporting than playing this morning.

We will see more hacked accounts along with it.

I saw this thought it was a bug.

I'm watching a few (probably the same ones) on Hyperion shamelessly rotate around the level 5 nodes that are just outside of Ul'dah in Central Thanalan. It took me like 4 mins to report them because half of them were underground D:

Saw one two days ago right outside of Ul'dah and reported. Yesterday, I saw him again w/ a new friend. Then another one a littler further down at the next level nodes.

There was also another suspicious pair who spent two days just running around from node to node (still in their starting gear).

Sadly FF14 is still in the early stages (ARR that is). A teleport hack is quite simple to make for even an inexperienced developer. I'm sure they'll implement a detection algorithm be it client or server sided, just give them time :)

i would be kinda careful with the ones that are actually running around unless you see them for literally 2 days straight, i know farming shards is one of the best ways for newbs to get some gil atm without actually investing in gathering. The teleport people really need to be dealt with though.

Yeah, as suspicious as it seemed I figure there isn't technically anything wrong with it or enough evidence to prove otherwise. Only reported the teleporters.

I've been seeing this the past week too and thought it was lag on my end. I didnt think a teleport hack could be done so early in the game. At least 4-6 people, spread out in different nodes.

I'm having a problem believing this is a thing.

So much of Gathering, crafting, their achievement logs and spirit bonding gear is tied to raw grind. I can think of so many reasons for people to farm nodes that never deplete due to game goals.

As for graphics glitches. I haven't seen them but I'm usually looking at the radar.

Hey at least it's not like they steal your node :) thanks SE for making it personal instead of public :)

It's happening. Witnessed a guy teleporting from tree to tree while sneaking (in lvl 2 non hostile area) the funny thing is his bot kept teleporting him on top of the tree. It's extremely obvious when you see it.

Actually teleport hack most likely will appear at the start of MMOs, cause it's pretty simple. Although it doesn't take really long to fix it, Anet fixed their GW2 pretty quick as I remember.

Not entirely sure how you are "having problem's believing this is a thing."... Have you considered a little research.. something like: Google: final fantasy 14 miner teleport hack

Sargatanas currently has about 10 high level miners teleporting about the level 5 nodes.

No I haven't bothered reporting it all as its starting to piss me off how much time I've spent reporting the initial spammers in the citys.. now this. *sigh*.

Considering your FPS determines how slow your character moves, I would say making a speed hack in this game couldn't be any easier.

I just went back to the same spot I was mining this morning (need shards!) & at least one of them is still here. So, over six hours after my initial report, not a single thing has been done.

May I ask, what is the point of reporting cheaters if no-one even bothers to read it. Last time I take the effort to report cheating.

You waited 6 hours and nothing done WoW.

I reported 3 bots on Odin server 4 days ago and they are still there.Seems they just don't care enough to do anything so i don't bother reporting now why should I when they are doing nothing about it.

If they would just Hire 3 or 4 GM's just to look at the reports for Bot's/Spammers and ban then i am sure it would clean the game up a lot.

My wife and I have both witnessed this also. I watched him/her mining mythril for a while. They're always stealthed, mine a node, then poof disappear and reappear at another node. Several people saw this while I was there and mentioning it in chat got several replies that many had seen this cheater AND reported it days ago. And tonight, I checked the market and sure enough there was stack after stack of HQ mythril ore selling by a person with the same name (minus the space between first and last name) as the cheater that's been porting around mining for days. I reported them. My wife reported them. Several people in chat said they reported them and had done so days before. I really hope SE gets in gear and puts an end to this because this will ruin the economy if allowed to continue. I won't give their name because I don't know if it's against the rules, but if you're on Adamantoise, go to where mythril is mined, you'll see them...if they haven't gone up to the next tier yet, that is.

I guess this explains what I saw the other day. I saw someone mining but I stopped to look because his character was semi transparent like a ghost or something. He finished up, walked a bit then faded away.

I went back there just now and saw him and about fifteen other naked characters all mining nodes in black brush. Soon as they finish they disappear and reappear at the next node. Most of them are using hide.

FFXIV ARR Disciples of the Land : have actions just like your Main Job Class.

ACTION : STEALTH
Each gathering class gets this skill at level 8. It is really a drastic change from 1.0 as with the use of this low-level skill you can walk right past level 50 monsters and below!

Also note you can use Return without coming out of stealth.

While under the effects of stealth you become transparent and suffer a ‘walk’ speed restriction.

So.. instead of people Teleporting is it possible what your seeing.. is RETURN being used. ?

there many people posting on youtube about that

For me those people using that should get account wipe. Losing all
theyll get tired having to buy the game again for new code to subscribe again. Those bot/hacker/RMT will lose money instead of making money so they will stop

Most the people using these bots/hacks are of course firstly the Chinese farming factories and then we have the Russians and Swedish players.

Hmm, no
It is the same as in 1.0
You can not use it to walk past level 50 until you have the trait for it, which you learn with level 38.
From level 8-17 it works only to monsters at level 20 or below.

Go find a low-level mineral deposit and wait. You will see a character(or several) drop out of the sky, start mining, then disappear. As soon as they disappear look around and you'll see them drop out of the sky in front of another nearby mineral deposit. They'll do it over and over.

Here is the twist. The man behind the teleporters.

Stop trolling.

I have seen two different ones on Coeurl so far, reported both. With the long delay on how these are being handled, starting to wonder if some of the reporting features are bugged. As either they are so swamped with reports, or they are not getting some of them. As something as obvious as this, should be investigated rather quickly, if it was just a bot I can see it taking some more time, but with the very obvious teleporting between nodes, it makes the case against them pretty clear cut. I only hope its dealt with before every market is flooded and or crashed due to it.

Yeah, your right. Return totally takes you from one node and drops you in front of the next nearest node!

How could we all be so blind?!
