Client unable to detect cheating/not supported addons

[Teon]

I can confirm the client is absolutely not able to detect any additional cheating program. I was the observer, to be able to report this issue, with help of friends, innocent not aware testers:
the client doesn't detect teleport hack programs, external parsers, multiple Tell spammers (used to spam gil RMT websites). (i will not link websites providing this software) as reported thousand times from everyone (expecially teleport hack)

Also new external parses (claimed as local parsers like FFXIV-APP) distrupt the gameplay of other players, creating heavy unplayable lag to others except the parser user.
This new software not detected confirms it.

Every single mmo out in the market is perfectly able to detect external programs, banning the abusers. This is by far the only mmo where everyone do any kind of crime.

Put an end on this junk. Thanks.

EDIT (considering western community seems more oriented to +1 and waste time then leave a security thread on bug section clean for staff's investigations, any additional post i wrote will be deleted so the thread can be cleaned)

The software was claimed to be a local parser. I personally didn't use it, i have no reason to use it , being a healer.
The software wasn't a cheating software at all, it was claimed as new and safe, local logs.

The side effect of this software (intended or not) disrupt the gameplay of the team, slowering the dungeon's istanced queue.

The lag experienced may be random, and related to game's issues external to this software, may require additional investigation and tests by the security team.

The client need to be able to check any use of software not approved by SE, it may ease the security team to waste time testing if lag increase or not with this particular parser (or any cheating software like teleporters) , just adding a security check on our client

Also external parses (like FFXIV-APP) distrupt the gameplay of other players, creating heavy unplayable lag to others except the parser user.

......

I re-read this so many times and tried to make sense of this.... and it failed. Really. Please explain how that was even possible?

It doesn't even send a packet to the game. Parsers work by analyzing the game memory through the log data which are handled locally. No connections are made, whatsoever, to FFXIV, let alone to other players, that.. somehow lags them.

also...

Every single mmo out in the market is perfectly able to detect external programs, banning the abusers. This is by far the only mmo where everyone do any kind of crime.

I've yet to ran into an MMORPG that could do this.

troll for stirring up parser drama, go find somewhere else to whine about your deeps

[ZohnoReecho]

I guess SE will ban a lot of internet security apps users because they interact with internet packets sent by the game

[Ceelo_Mage]

HAHAH thats my new excuse for lag !

"Sry guys, someone is running FFXIVApp and causing me lag"

LMFAO

[ZohnoReecho]

Besides the TOS, who lags is the player using it if it's delaying packets transfer.

[ZohnoReecho]

As explained, this parser disrupt other player's performance, not the software's user. It may be an intented/ badly programmed program injecting data for this optional purpose disrupting other customer's gameplay.
If able to provide more help on this bug thread, (assuming someone is aware of which software i'm talking about), post more details eventually.

Refrain from useless posts. This is not a chitchat about lag but a security issue. Thanks for your cooperation

You stop talking about stuff you don't know. No other player's IP is sent to your client besides the server you are connected to so it cannot inject packets to lag any other player.

[ZohnoReecho]

Are you aware of which software we are talking about, here? Probably (my assumption) it creates an abnormal performance on the queue server, creating this widespread lag. This is not a matter of IP.

It's not my job investigate about it for sure

If it's not what's written in the OP then write it clearly because not me and SE neither can understand what did YOU use to test.

[ZohnoReecho]

I didn't use anything. Friend's did, to test the results, so i was able now to report it. I will NEVER post abusive cheating software's names nor websites

The client is absolutely not able to detect additional software. Also the user just goes free. A nice example is teleporting hack software.

Security department is probably already aware of it (expecially teleport hacking software). This is not my job, i'm not paid to investigate and fix this issue, nor i will never post software's names and website on a public forum.

I see, so you are an accomplice since you reported an anonymous app but not your friend. Looks like you are both bannable by the TOS.

[ZohnoReecho]

When i said i didn't report them?
Also, noone was aware of the results. It was claimed as a local parser like FFXIV-APP
Any GM investigating my activity can confirm i wasn't aware nor accomplice.
As i said, save this thread from useless posts thanks


It's interesting how nervous some are about this topic

Oh but you said no matter what, a 3rd party app user gotta be banned besides the fact that you were or not aware of the results, right? So I don't see why you are trying to defend them now.
