FFXIV: Cheat 2 Win - The New Norm?

[scarletfoxxy]

The REAL problem is the PC community. None of this "cheating" would even be possible on the PS4. So maybe SE should think about that next time they decide to develop a game for a questionable community anyway.

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.

The Dark Souls ps3/360 communities would disagree.

yes the questionable pc community that comprises 95% of mmo titles and players.

I'd give you ten likes if I could OP. Spot on.

The very moment they made content FFXI-Tier competition instead of "shared" like 98% of 14's content is, this was destined to come next. You have a load of FFXI and MMO vets who are used to cheating vs competition in stressful claim environments. In 14, this wasn't the case the majority of the time. Now they've added an event that is extremely desirable to everyone:

But the catch is we have to compete for the prize.

What comes next is natural, its like throwing a wad of 100 dollar bills into the middle of a third-world-ghetto and saying "HAVE AT IT FOLKS"

There are cheaters in any game. Be it singleplayer, multiplayer, online, offline, board game, pen-and-paper. People do cheat and that's sadly a fact that cannot be stamped out entirely. It's an arms-race to be sure, all we can do is encourage people to NOT cheat and to report those that do and let SE handle it.

Do.. not.. cheat. That's all you and I can do.

Best part of all this is, it can and will go unpunished. There is literally no means of knowing if someone is using said cheat unless they specifically state that they are using it. No need for official parsers? Welp, this is the sh*t that happens when a third party program that reads from memory is released. Alot more information is available than intended. If anything, SE brought this upon themselves.

So calm down, you're not going to see some massive, impressive action after FOUR DAYS

Why not? Frontlines had a response after 1, maybe 2 days. :P

Saying SE brought this upon themselves is a bit drastic, even if they had an official parser in the game, that app would still exist. The only ones to blame for cheating are the people cheating. I'm guessing by your logic when a bank gets robbed, the robbers aren't to blame, the bank is for having all that money just sitting around.
