/r/ffxivdiscussion Reddit Poll: Do you want anti-cheat in FFXIV?

[LioJen]

I couldn't care less about "cheating" in PvE content, the only person you're cheating is yourself.

However, in PvP you are actively screwing with someone else's game and chance to win fairly, this is especially bad with things like exclusive Top 100 prizes and such. I don't think anti-cheat software is the answer, I think SE should just have dedicated PvP mods constantly in the mode watching the battle logs and looking for suspicious activity like players who are magically able to toss Ninja LB on anyone the nanosecond their HP hits that threshold, or players who just happen to CC anyone in range the very moment they are in range every time. It's like playing against the button-reading Mortal Kombat 2 AI sometimes.

I guess tell that to the crafters that have to compete with marketmaking bots, tell that to the gatherers that have to compete with bots. Tell it to the devs that design ultimate fights, only to find out the progress raiders are ignoring their mechanics they thought about at for days, by some plugin that solves it for them. It will devalue the game itself if you have blatant cheating in PvE. At that point SE could sell cheats and gil on mogstation.
