FFXIV: Cheat 2 Win - The New Norm?

[Garlyle]

For real? Lol gotta try that

Yup. My assumption is that the app literally just works by looking for entities - players, monsters, etc. - bearing a certain name. It doesn't, however, discriminate between what that entity is - so a Chocobo named Naul pops an alert at location x, y just the same as actual Naul would.

I know someone on Adamantoise who has taken to doing this to screw with people for shits and giggles, and apparently an FC on another server are considering basically doing a mass trolling by making Naul pop in like twenty different places in Coerthas on and off repeatedly

In one of the treads that got locked earlier, someone had screenshots of the app, but he claimed he only has it and doesn't use it, and it had to where you could filter between enemies and npcs and what not. I'd put up a link, but he edited his post and deleted took out the picture because he was tired of people calling him a cheater.

Your information is wrong. According to the creator the base app has no alert function and only displays things within your draw distance (equivalent of the zoomed out mini-map). So unless somebody else took his source code and reworked it so that there is one this won't work. It will work on a local scale, though. So if you rename your chocobo to the name of a hunt mark and sit somewhere in a zone out of the normal line of sight then anyone using the app will run right up to you.
