Today, I witnessed the procession of bots.

They do have to kill all of the bosses, but they apparently use skill speed hacks to do so in a matter of seconds.

10,000 plus dungeon runs and I've yet to even see one player able to do this once. Every skill down to the timing and strength of that skill are calculated and done by the server, not by the individuals PC. To do this, they would have to have access to the servers, quite possibly root access to make this happen. Everything, down to your characters looks are all stored and managed on the server, and not on your side. If somebody could do this, then it be high time that everybody cancel their subs, because likely they have access to your payment information too.

Undisputable video proof please. Show me, don't just assume.

Unlike alot of other games, even online ones, everything is done and stored server side.

You want a proof? Search for the group that have clear A4S first but got the clear denied and achievement revert back by SE itself because of the BLM of the static able to cast way faster than he should be and doing crazy dps, there is even an official topic from the staff talking about it. (I let you look for it I don't feel like doing archaeology)
Like I said in other topic, there is even videos of guys using a TP hack program (I remember atleast 2 videos of 2 different players but there is more, again I let you look for them)

Edit: and don't tell me the pic there is some kind of lag magic ... please... stop being blind.

I mean, ok. There was a BLM who was outed on the great evil that is FFLOGs for having incredible dps back in A4S.
Some folks in the BLM thread on this forum looked into it, analyzed the log, and realized he had a 2.4s cast time even without any buffs (F4 base cast time was 3 seconds) and 2.0 cast times in Leylines etc. This was impossible in the gear current to that time.

Here's the post since someone replied earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...vered_someone/
I'd post a video of their "clear" but their names are visible so witch-hunting yadayada. Look up Antithesis A4S on Adamantoise clear on Youtube.

It turns out he was using botting software which could give him incredible amounts of spell speed among other statuses. (he's still scot-free for it afaik, and despite SE's attempt to patch the exploit it was re-found soon after).

It's not inconceivable that this software, or something like it, could be tuned to destroy dungeon bosses especially with position hacking making it impossible for them to be melee-damaged. 10,000 dungeon runs means nothing, why would you expect to group with a full premade of BLMs and WHM botters?
