About 3rd Party Softwares

Funny thing about the ppl using the radar program to find hunt marks. It seems to only search for the name and display the location. I've been running to remote areas of various zones after renaming my chocobo to share the name of a local A or S rank mark and get a swarm of ppl running to me within a minute. One of these a FC mate actually saw them teleport in at the aetherite and he followed them as they made a bee-line to my location. There was no shouts, emotes, nothing. Kept completely quiet about it and no other random players were nearby until the swarm arrived.

if you feel like playing the add-on police, this is a perfect way to snag those people using the app.
i'd record it and send it to SE for them to speculate....

Funny.. Can your screen view their screen? If so may i have what you're having?

Its untraceable. Due to the fact it runs on the background pof the computer not interfering with processes.

Sad that an app used to benefit others could be used to create such hate?

But i feel you. That is highly suspect pic some cheat. Idk how ppl find these hunts

OMG this is hilarious. First order of business tonight, naming chocobo Naul and running circles throughout zones....

For more info: read on this. Says S.E has given the ok for that.

I would actually like to see the official message Square Enix give him, rather than take his word for it.

[Zephyranthes]

They answered it long ago. They're not allowed.

Finding out who are using them are completely a different story though.

Yeah i know. I'm just reading up the articles since I'm at work. Just trying to get this controversy straightened out. I added another link before you quoted me.

here's another quote from the website


Zam a major gaming article company gave it the ok that Square Enix allowed the program to be used. And has been approved by the department but most of the Square Enix workers are probably not up-to-date on the changes from that departments decision

Not this one right now. Until it's not against the ToS cheaters using these programs are well...not people I will play with.

Now if SE said it was O.K in the next few days I'd use it. However I'd still dislike all the people who used it before then.

You *do* know that if the players are abiding by fight club rules, you'd never know that they were using those programs, right? You could already be playing with people who use them.

That was also put up way before the program was in the state it is now. If permission -was- given, it was given way before the map part was added (way before overlays of any kind were available with the program), and back when it was only able to give basic information about damage/healing/etc.

SE's stance on this issue is simple.

We won't ban anyone who uses it that doesn't blatantly go around telling people they do because we can't.

Pretty much what everyone has been saying so far, Fight Club.
