To the WHM on Maelstrom, Aether Data Center that is cheating

[Lori]

And still losing

LOL@you

That is all

[Lorielle]

I can't even imagine how the White Mage is managing to cheat. The most I see is people purposely feeding to other teams, but that only aids in losing and not winning.

I didn't want to state specifically because I've heard they had out bans for things like that on this forum, even if you're talking about other people doing it. But he's definitely cheating lol

I'm only aware of name dropping being a thing. I'd actually be curious to know what this cheating is so I can keep an eye out. Let alone, I'm sure Square would like to know what's going on when it comes to unfair advantages.

It was a Lalafell WHM using a speed hack. He would constantly run over to enemy teams and spam Holy and then run away. Usually he'd die in the process though lol.

This speed hack I've seen more than once however.

....Stupid question, but I feel like I have to ask anyway...You sure he wasn't just sprinting..? >.>

I have other people that have seen what I had seen lol. Trust me I made sure to check whether he was sprinting or not before hand. He definitely wasn't. And like I said, this isn't the first time I've seen this speed hack. I've seen other players running alongside their teammates on chocobos at the same speed or faster

I can confirm this. I too have seen people who manage to run faster than me on a Chocobo, far faster. I've seen them in PVP use both speed and position hacks of late. It's killing my desire to game... I may go back to single player stuff. =(

I'd ask if you could PM me his/her name so I could keep a look out and record any fishy behavior- but at first glance the forums seem to lack a PM function. Bummer.

I think most of what you're thinking of can be explained by lag on your side. When I'm playing and riding on my chocobo next to a friend, there are times they appear to move in front of me and go faster than me. It's entirely explained by lag on my side, their side, or they took a better path and due to this were able to get slightly ahead of me.

There's already an anti-cheating mechanism built into frontlines where if you go faster than mounted speed, you get a 90k and get disconnected. You can search the history on these forums for many examples of this. People with laggy connections often suffer from this. They lag on their side, and when they un-lag, it appears to others that they have teleported forward. Even though this person hasn't cheated, the server interprets this as them moving faster than is allowed, and they get a 90k disconnection. If this ever happens to you, it is recommend you hop off your mount and the 90ks tend to decrease in frequency.

Back to your original point, I don't think this person was cheating or they would have gotten 90k'ed. If you have a video we could probably look at it and see what's going on better.
