    Again, I'm not saying you didn't see anyone cheating. But based on the comments so far, I suspect a mere tiny tiny tiny fraction of people you think are cheating are actually cheating. They probably exist, sure. But the danger in calling anybody who you fail to kill or who kills you a cheater is that it also makes all cheat-reporting from you inherently doubtful, meaning that there's a good chance if you reported them ingame and a lot, then you're on some "low prio" queue in the support system by now as they know the vast majority of cheating you report is just normal functionality seen under high latency + bad server performance (i.e.: PvP).

    I want to make it clear again, that doesn't mean you didn't see cheating. But for a rough rule of thumb (based on data from when I got to look at another PvP game's support system as part of my work), consider that ~0.1%-0.01% of the people you think you saw cheating are actually cheating, the rest is your perception. (of course I have no way of knowing whether the numbers in FFXIV are similar but this is just about explaining the mindset in self-evaluating what one sees)

    Cheating in PVP would look different, anyways. It's not someone running too fast.
    Dude it takes people months to be banned when they're literally flying in CC. I don't know how some people get so confident when they apparently have not even engaged in any content to notice all the obvious cheating/botting.
