Need advice: static imploding because of cheater.

As I said don't associate or acknowledge them. Leave the group do your own thing, but this witch hunting mindset we have around it is petty at best, malicious at worse. Live and let live, no need to have the community go out hunting for people, or treating cheaters like they are vile sub humans. Not saying everyone feels that way, but really that is the energy many give off.

I don't wish for cheaters to burn at the stake, only to face the consequences of their choice. Now if I had undeniable proof that someone was cheating, reported them and they faced punishment would that not suggest the devs support this much at least?

I have no interest in witch hunting but I also have no desire to watch the playerbase shoots themselves in the foot because they lack self-control and any personal dignity when it concerns skill. If there are consequences later for the choices of these players then what right would I have to complain if I knew and sat there but chose to do or say nothing?

Live and let live....until you pay the price.

What price is the community going face in a realistic sense? SE will most likely never add a Spyware type thing, it would not make much sense to remove ultimates altogether, that is pretty much the only time FFXIV trends on twitch outside of expansions.

Hell one could even make the argument that show casing these mods shows the devs how it positively impacts player experience.

Like I would not be shocked come 7.0 we are allowed to zoom out even further. Yoshi-P is not dumb he understand tye importance of ultimates.

This reminds me of the fear mongering around buying in game currency. As someone that sold WoW gold as a kid and allowed me to buy mu first car. The buyer is largely safe from punishment for the most part. Sure some get caught but more often then not they are safe. Also the one selling the gold is more likely to get scammed via charge backs
