I think ppl take issue with the fact that you more or less cheated to get them (well used an exploit if you think there's a difference). This is assuming you blm mana-burned, which is what I believe I read ( i was skimming though so who knows). With that said, it should be no surprise to you that ppl dont bother to respect your thread or your post. Most people dont like cheaters, and dont like exploiters, especially when they then turn around and display their not-so-honest accomplishments. What did you honestly expect? As far as my own opinion goes, thats irrelevant. Regardless of your ethics, grats on all of your weapons. It probably would have been wiser to not make it so obvious in your screenshot though. Jus sayin. You basically said "hi i cheated look what I got." Next time you make an accomplishment thread, just go "hi look what i got". You'll still get flamed but at least you'll get respect from ppl who aren't jelly.

Well that solves the problem of not being able to kill it without 5 blms after the patch, right?

My personal opnion on that matter is that, if killing Garuda before she uses Aerial Blast is "cheating", then killing any boss in any game that has a countdown ability before it's timer reaches 0 is cheating as well. Then again, this is only my opnion. Anyways, this whole issue is being blown way out of proportion.

And for all the people to come in such a thread just to spew hate at the OP, next time, just ignore the thread and move on. Not to mntion thtat "E-peen" threads always have and always will be created after new content is introduced, deal with it.

Oh...nice sig, fusional. lol

Yoshida has stated quite clearly that this was not supposed to be possible for Garuda, it was a dev oversight. It was clearly an exploit by anyone that did it, and once yoshi confirmed it *was* an exploit that ends any discussion about whether its cheating or not. Yoshida confirmed it was an exploit. Yes it is cheating. There is no way around it, so your opinion, while you are welcome to maintain it, is not based on the facts of the matter right now as far as game designers are concerned. The facts of the matter are that Yoshi says its an exploit, so it is an exploit. But we all knew this before Yoshi even said it. Cheating to get rewards is not something anyone should really respect, and the OP pretty much had it coming to him by making it so obvious. I do agree ppl went too far, but they always go too far.

wait how is maxing out your character's gear and stacking jobs cheating again? I'm not advocating it, I'm just saying. And if it was a super immediate issue it would have been patched... super immediately. It's just an adjustment that needs to be made, not cheating.

That's like saying people who use Storm's Path back in the day before it drastically changed to rack up exp/and spirit bond were cheating.

That isn't the issue Doho, in the most simple terms Garuda doesn't phase switched correctly because they incorrectly programmed her AI to recognise her current hp %. The result is you can take her down to about 60% HP and then BLM Burn her down in about 45 seconds - 1 minutes before she has time to cast Astral Flow. Something which they hadn't intended to be possible. However whether this is "Cheating" or not is a separate matter because SE has already stated that it was a programming oversight and won't be punishing people who adapt to it.

I think the people exploiting are just worried about other people not respecting their Garuda kills, thus deflating their e-peens.
