[Video proof] - Speed hacker in Seal Rock

2/2 he obviously wasnt moving fast enough.

It's very sad that people are just brazen enough to do this, especially in open sight.

I've not seen any sort of speed hack like that, but on a rare occasion I do see a non-black mage (aetherial manipulation I think its called?) doing some sort of odd teleporting. Unfortunately as others have stated it's very hard to capture proof of this...and I almost never record pvp matches :/

I would hope SE does recognize that this is an issue and takes some course of action.

S-E has never been good about making the public aware of hackers by name, because, like someone else said, they don't want the so-called "witch hunt" where players harass each other about suspected illegal activity.

Better to send a report to S-E and include your video link, along with the date and time you captured the footage. They should be able to review their logs, and then observe that player when they next enter matches in order to see if they are indeed an offender in the way we think they are. And then from there, maybe they can devise the tools to catch or counter their methods. All you're doing here is cruising for a ban yourself. (Sadly...)

According to the forum guidelines this could constitute:

• Posting that constitutes discrimination against another forum member or group (also including forming groups for the purpose of discrimination), insults, slander, libel, harassment of a group or individual.
• Posting seeking to damage or disparage Square Enix, the forum, FINAL FANTASY XIV, or others.

Best play it safe and report through official channels TBH. Though I do appreciate the heads-up personally. Next time I see someone whizzing about and without rubber-banding indicative of latency issues, I will take care to report them myself in the game. This lets me know what symptoms to keep an eye out for.

Very nicely edited video and yes I think all kinds of cheating are a cancer that do more harm to the game experience than anything else could.

Nice video!

SE needs to start implementing anti-cheat measures now, especially with ranked Wolves' Den coming out in 3.2. If people are cheating in a casual game mode such as Seal Rock, they are certainly going to do it in a more competitive setting as well.

inb4 your unfortunate ban. Friends of mine have gotten banned posting about bots/hacker ruining PvP. In the end, the bot/hacker always wins and continues to do whatever they please, while the accuser gets banned. Love how the system works <3.

Unless posting a video is different from pictures, we'll see my friend.

They already are in Wolves Den, they did it during the Primal WD Event last Friday.

Why should the OP get banned? All that can be seem is that the cheating scum was playing Warrior. Unless, of course, outing someone as a Warrior is a banning offence. >.>

inciting witchhunts, directly or indirectly, is generally considered harrasment
