Cactbot does a lot, and I do mean a lot of things that are good. But it's also a blatant third party cheat because the developers made the game so dysfunctional for people with medium to high latency. Zero animation lock for perfect triple weave (which you can never ever do normally), being able to tell exactly where melee range is on the screen always via a hud display, the ability to know exactly what to do years ahead of when the mechanic comes out. It's DBD if the developers of it were allowed to completely break the flow of the game itself. If you want an extreme example, you could double weave during Hypercharge with that program.

Don't be an apologist.
You're talking about XIVAlexander, which is straight up a cheat tool, telling the server you have negative ping. If anyone does do what you stated above and double weave in hypercharge, then the server would pick up on it and they would get banned.

Cactbot is never used for world first, reason being you don't need to, because the fight will be cleared much quicker than someone can code a timeline.

Do you know you have to fully know how the mechanic works before being able to write a cactbot callout for it, and if you fully know how it works, why do you need the call out? Not just that, but every world first uses scuffed strats, and they straight up don't even know how some mechanics work until days after.
