Time for an anti-cheat

[Avoidy]

In every MMO I've played run by lazy/complacent devs, an anti-cheat rollout has happened in the following way, and I don't think XIV's case would be different:
1) Anti-cheat gets implemented
2) Several hours later, cheaters figure out how to bypass it
3) Legit players are stuck dealing with performance issues caused by the anti-cheat; some are also banned because their kb/m drivers weren't whitelisted in the anticheat's configuration settings due to lazy/complacent devs
4) Cheaters continue to cheat, while regular players deal with a worse game

You don't want this. Instead what we need are for GMs to look at the mountain of overwhelming video evidence and actually ban these people. Since half of these guys stream their cheating anyway, this isn't even hard to do. The reason it's not done is because a vast amount of the cheating you want banned is QoL stuff that nobody cares about. "Oh my god his UI is different" "Oh my god he gave his male roe big milkers" like bro who cares. What's annoying af is when we send in pics of bot city under limsa and it just sits there for years being allowed to bot and rmt all day every day. The devs don't care and if they put in an anticheat it's just gonna screw over regular players even more because you know and I know that cbu3 won't configure it right and won't bother changing it even if we all whine about how it thinks our gaming mouse is a cheating tool because it doesn't recognize the drivers. Unironically one of the few things this game has going for it is the lack of an intrusive rootkit piece of crap anticheat like gameguard or whatever.

Keep pretending you're good though, even with cheats you're bad.

Man, you're still here? I wonder what you'll do in your free time once your sub runs out (allegedly).

By the way, the Super Ultra Mega Cheaty logs that people save are often public. And people can post logs of your performance without you knowing. I recommend checking yours before throwing stones.

I'll play better games like I already am?

Check my parse I don't care rofl. You admitted to using addons that simplify your rotations in this very thread everything you say is invalid.

My rotations? When did I say that? Please quote the post where I said "I use addons that simplify my rotation" 'cause now you're just running out of material.

Yeah, it's super weird that some people like myself might use third-party mods for accessibility reasons, that's super weird and suspicious.

Quit with the vague witch-hunting, people don't oppose anti-cheat methods because they cheat. Get over your stupid binary view of the world.

I'll turn it around on you though; why do you hate disabled people so much? That's kind of sus. You're actually pretty evil for being so aggressively against people who need to mod the game to be able to see things better or have slightly easier inputs. What an awful human being you are.

I didn't say I used mods that made my inputs easier. And I don't. I said that people may use them. Perhaps you need to get your own eyes checked, but thanks for now tripling down on your hated of disabled people, mocking my ability to see.

Allow me to quote the thing I said that you quoted and somehow ignored:

Please quote the post where I said "I use addons that simplify my rotation"

Note the bold. Show me where I said >>> I <<< use those mods.

I don't care whether you are disabled or not, I don't hate you for it regardless. I just think it's detestable to cheat for any reason. Even if you're a disabled person for real, it doesn't justify breaking the ToS.

It's irrelevant so it is pointless to bring it up in a thread about anti-cheat. You should get a grip on reality and let go of your persecution complex. You are being persecuted for cheating, it has nothing to do with your "disability" that may or may not exist and is totally irrelevant.

Both you and I know what you meant.

[Doozer]

Both you and I know what you meant.

No. No we don't. But everyone knows what you mean when you say "'disability'" and "even if you're a disabled person".

Hey by the way just checking, when did you say your sub ran out? Asking for no reason in particular.

Doubling down on insulting disabled people I see

really going at it with the trolling huh ? scared of your threads losing steam ?

What do you think I mean other than the fact that it's irrelevant. Do people in the special olympics get to use jet propulsion systems to swim faster because they have a physical disability that makes it harder for them to swim? The answer is no. Stop trying to justify being a cheater, you're making the honest disabled people look bad. Dude really wants special treatment and to be exempt from the rules just because he has a disability.
