The anti cheat system

[Gyson]

Shortly after Alex came out I found myself paired with a tank who zipped around like the Flash on steroids for the entirety of the A4 run. I'm talking about going from main-tanking to rounding up all the orbs (even on the other side of the arena) and being back to tanking the boss in a 3 - 4 second window. Not exaggerating. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen and she openly abused it for the entire encounter. I even put a mark on her head so everyone would see how stupidly fast it was whipping around. Nobody seemed to really care, though - I think they just wanted the easy win.

Many rounds of banning later and her character is still around, so I don't have too much faith in the game's ability to detect cheating.

To be fair, one of my friend has a terrible connection and his condition is how you described. But it last until he restarted his router, and it seemed to improve a bit.

Your friend's connection allows him to smoothly go "..from main-tanking to rounding up all the orbs (even on the other side of the arena) and being back to tanking the boss in a 3 - 4 second window.." for "the entire encounter"? That's not a terrible connection.

I get what you're saying, but there is a pretty obvious visual difference between someone suffering from packet loss and latency issues to someone with a solid connection who is utilizing a speed hack. What I saw was the latter. For pete's sake, she grinned when I called her out on it in chat.

Should I even mention she was wearing a full set of Thavnairian glamour set at the time? This was back when the very first pieces were hitting the market for $25 mil + per piece. I'm sure that was all legitimately earned too. This was someone who is making no effort to hide abuse and yet still around and playing.

Like I said, I don't have a lot of confidence in this game's ability to remove cheating anymore.
