To The FFXIV Developers: Addressing the Ongoing Win Trading Issue in FFXIV PvP

Wrote this 6 days ago in another thread...



I wish they would just publish scoreboards of all ranked diamond to ultima games publicly during each season. Then it is way easier to tell who often loses on purpose to a certain player.

Tbh, This is the best solution. I really really wish SE will listen sometimes....

Honestly, i don't know what people expect. This is pvp. Every pvp game i have ever played has had trouble with cheats/win trading and such.

Team Fortress 2 has its aimbot snipers. Rust has its fly hacking and resource hacks. Mordhau, DOTA 2, etc... And it's no different in FFXIV it seems. Trying to remove cheating from pvp is like trying to remove the stank from a hunk of feces, they go hand in hand. I do NOT condone it, but i also fail to see how people can act surprised or appalled. IT'S PVP! Of course there will be cheating! Fact of life.

I think the bigger problem is that SE doesn't really try. I played Feast for 14 seasons and in every season it was so easy to point out the trouble makers and if a GM that had knowledge about PvP they could have taken care of the problem in 5 minutes but despite weeks of reporting people just could keep doing their thing. Every season it was only couple of players who cheated in some way and even that was too much to handle for the report team Of course some got punished but that was months of reporting at worst. Same continued in CC and I just hope SE would get someone to specialize into PvP and monitoring it (SE I volunteered all the way back in Stormblood )

Thanks for uplifting my post OP.

The "Networking" cheater was removed from the leaderboard and their Ultima rank is gone.
