Radar for hunts, is this fair? Take a look.

[Synestra]

yeah ...too bad ppl have been exploting this already for days .some are on their 3th or 4th sand already im sure ,now i know why they were the 1 to arrive at Nms

Hey! i also got 2 sands but i got those legit way, i literally grinded hunts for 34h straight and then 18h yesterday to get last missing seals for 2nd sand. Untill this topic i didnt even know these kind of "addons" excisted, and now i get why it was so hard to find marks yesterday.

[Gilthas]

we do ....ppl provoke mobs and run away in order to reset NMs

This is true, but it's still not as bad as what we had in FFXI.

I'm fairly sure SE will be tracking the amount of Allied seals obtained by people, and they can use that to monitor said individuals in order to serve punishment. So yeah, go rack up thousands of them and see what happens. Third-party tool use is sketchy at best, but there is absolutely no defence against POS-hacking (teleporting to a location) and they will ban for this, no doubt.

It was bad enough the first few days, but they've managed to turn the entire content into something that's impossible to legitimtely participate in now. I won't even bother with Elite Marks because it's an epic waste of most peoples' time and completely ruined now. SE, you need to do something to fix the problem - and fast.

Another example of how low sad little cheaters will sink in terms of morality. Pathetic, childish and incredibly arrogant, all of you doing this. You don't deserve any kind of mercy and I hope you lose your accounts. You are no better than the RMT scum plaguing us every day.

Since SE probably can't scan our PCs.

They could if they wanted to and the game itself could always detect when you're reading and messing with memory, which is essentially what this is and is no surprised people are using this.

reminding me of the utter shite that was HNM camping in FFXI.

Except for an extremely long time HNMs have been thrown into BCNMs and forced popped in the overworld in XI now and even for more than half of it's life they used a system since ToAU called 'ZNM' which eventually let you pop a similar version of the overworld monster which actually had better gear and gear for far more people that could get use out of it. Also Fracrure and Naakuals, which are overworld spawns but controllable on when they pop in a sense which the whole server can easily get to if they wanted to. So NMs haven't been a problem for a very long time, it was only when they did Magian trials did you see people flooding certain ones, and even those were 99% useless to people that no one ever bothered with from 2002 - 2009 lol.

This is true, but it's still not as bad as what we had in FFXI.

yeah in FFXI the 1 to claim locked mobs out , and there were hacks for that too ~~ , JP winned 80% because lower ping , the amount of times i have seen mobs pop claimed already , SE tried to fix that by making the mobs have a grace of time until u were able to claim it, still ugh..

and thats why instanced content was created ~~

[Dyvid]

I'm at the point where they just need to remove Oil/Sand from Hunts all together.

[Vaer]

The amount of resentment and bad PR they would receive from scanning players' memory is probably not worth it.

Would be easier to just add a message like the "There is a FATE nearby." for hunts which consoles would also benefit from and call it a day.

[Kajukai]

I was told you can't detect people who uses it anyways. But SE could just increase HP of the mobs, so that a group of, lets say 30 people, need at least 5 minutes to kill an A rang.

[Tupsi]

So after doing some research, it's apparently something the creators said SE gave the go ahead for it to exist - meaning SE can't and won't do anything about this.

[IzumiRaito]

I hope the banhammer strikes all of the cheat users, even if its blue gartr. Because i heard they are using it too.
