    SE needs to address the elephant in the room and implement a program that verifies files and executables that might be affecting the game. That way you tackle in one fell swoop: bots, mod users, assist tool users (like ACT).

    Any other fix other than that is a band aid fix that will get infected and start bleeding again next expansion.

    So you're fine letting a game see what other programs you're running? Because I'm sure as hell not.

    Unless they find a way to make it so XIV itself can detect when unverified programs are attempting to interface with it without needing to utilize intrusive external software, that's sadly not going to happen.

    They've already taken a hard stance on not using any kind of programs that scan the client's PC for unauthorized apps.

    Do you use Google, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, Snapchat, Tiktok, etc. etc. etc.? If you do, you are already being monitored. Just don't do illegal stuff and you don't have to worry. It's easy.

    And people with half functioning brains take measures to mitigate how much that garbage can track you. Intentionally letting more in is asinine.

    The only measure you can take is to unplug your ethernet cable, sell all your possesions, cash only no credit card transactions, and buy a private island in the middle of the Pacific. And even then it would probably be too late.

    Are you nuts? LMAO No way, sure maybe 30 mins is too long but 3 minutes is EXTREMELY unrealistic. We all hate the long queues, but yikes.

    200% sure this is a bait post. No one could possibly be that oblivious as to why three minutes would be absurd.

    File verification yes, snooping around the files on someone's computer absolutely not. We don't need any more mustache twirling, wannabe technocrats in the world.
