FFXIV: Cheat 2 Win - The New Norm?

[Pandastirfry]

From the forums.

I think a screenshot would be actual proof, forum posts are kind of like citing Wikipedia in a paper for the New England Journal of Medicine

It's funny to see so many jimmies rustled when the fact of the matter is, only the blatant and dumb ones who tell others who disagree with the app that they are using the app + get reported would get banned.

long quote short story:
Something should be done

*sigh* Are you ever happy? Im not saying I think third party programs are a good thing(im against them myself) but your the same person who came here and made a new topic and started posting screenshots of my whole ls list trying to get us banned because -some- members pvp win traded. If you only come here to yell and scream about every thing you decide isn't okay, maybe you should play a different game. (Right.. people do this stuff in those games too.. don't they?)

I posted 4 threads with 100s of hits about win-trading. No response for months I have screenshots of entire LS's on my server specifically for win trading, with screen shots of ppl admitting doing it. none of them were ever banned.

For the record the LS shes mentioning was a "PVP" LS ran by my friend and I was logged on that day. All you did was join say do you pvp trade? Like ONE guy said he did and you screenshotted the whole thing posted it here, tried to gm call us and threatened to gm call me twice(as well as screen shotted my tells where as I tried to explain nicely it was a pvp ls that just didnt care if some people did that) and made a lot of nice decent people look bad for something they never did.

What happened to all your threads? Oh right, the GM's closed them all, didn't they.

Those screenshots posted with peoples names, free companies here on Lodestone should have had you banned. Oh right but SE isn't listening

/end rant

I still couldn't understand all this WHAAMMMMMBULANCE crybaby QQ thread especially when its obvious the silent treatment is the answer we get all this time. Oh anyway is OP is FULLY AWARE that even using such tools isn't a 100% guarantee of getting seals in hunts, considering party, resets, trolls, ninjas, lag, etc? Not to mention theres so many peeps using it too!

OH I KNEW IT the OP refused to do hunts in such a way that he/she/it doesn't knew the real issue of it!

So, we got a thread about OP who dun know shit about X and making a rant thread about X? seems legit these days eh

Wut

It was kinda hard to understand such cryptic post, but I find it Ironic nontheless that you'd call out whambulance crybaby QQ thread on your whambulance crybaby QQ post.

Anyways, SE handles boting and cheating pretty badly. We know of a botter/POShacker/Yaxisabuser that hasn't been banned yet. He actually got his "Mapping the Realm: Turn 9" achievement before his "Beating T9" achievement because he went "exploring" and accidentally got the achievement. SE hasn't lifted a finger yet.

Yeah, there are botters on my server that hog the farming spot for karakul, all of the farming spots for it. it is almost impossible to farm wool cloth yourself since they are always there targeting everything as soon as they spawn and tagging it all.

It has been going on for weeks. I reported, others reported, I got some of my FC to report, and they are almost always there, just spiritbinding and botting their way to a fortune.

Odd, considering I farmed fleece a few days ago without seeing any bots. We're on the same server. Managed to farm 800 fleece without interruptions.

Oh and for those claiming that the programs do nothing different then having people mass spread out in an ls they are completely wrong. numerous times i've been killing a lil b rank by myself soloing it no one anywhere around and all of a sudden my exact coordianates and the monsters name are shouted out. this has happened to me and numerous of my friends. you can try to claim oh well you didnt see them act all you want but its junk. these programs do way more then oh so and so is up in that region they are giving locations as well.

They don't intentionally bring out content that can be exploited - people just find away around the content and learn HOW to exploit it.

Yes people are doing it and are bragging about it, but lets give SE some time to actually address the issue.

easy enough fix remove bloody logs entirely and add sands of time to the weekly alotment from syrcus. this way only people are cheating are doing it for glams
