    It's client side, the only thing server side were the stats/drop information - Which is why in XI for example players removed enemy models in order to claim certain ground kings like Fafnir easier until SE made a server check to see if you still retain all particular dats of a certain zone.

    Sadly, XIV's client was (maybe still is) fairly open to the point an IE setting was messing with people's login and could be easily manipulated, you were even able to tell the server to do what you wanted, e.g "Make me level 45" and it'll comply, so the way XIV is designed it'd work pretty easily.

    Also, yoshi said recently they do monitor the game very closely, they can easily gather the info they needed since to SE's credit, when they really need to gather info about a certain situation, they will. (Salvage Bans) - If you don't know what happened then, the way that worked can't be detected unless they're closely monitoring the situation.
