Has anyone beaten leves without cheating?

[Sephrick]

I was out at an Aetheryte the other day minding my own business when I noticed this fellow who would appear at camp, run off and appear again a little later.

Curious, I followed him and discovered he was using a hate reset exploit to solo harder leves where he'd go all out to kill one mob then return after dying, rinse and repeat all the way to victory.

When will SE ban these obvious cheaters?

Well he is dying/returning so it really isnt a cheat per say or an exploit.

In fact he was probally just hurting himself cause all the running/fighting/returning/running again probally was taking him longer to earn exp than if he just fought mobs his own lvl or got an exp pt. So just be content to know he was inflicting a self punishment.

But he was able to continue the fight hate free until he engaged again. The mobs should keep hate and pursue the player even if they return. Either that or all the mobs in the leve should respawn.

I'm expecting a "Has anyone finished a crafting synth without cheating?" next. Then one for behest. Then one for chocobo caravan. Then buying from the market ward.

The real problem here is everyone has their own opinion on what "cheating" means, but, in the end, the only definition of "cheating" with regards to FFXIV that matters is SE's, and until they say "working as intended" or "sent to devs for fixing" this ridiculousness will continue.
