Hackers still rampant despite multiple reports - Please give visibility on this.

[Mega96]

Hi,

We, the PVP community, have been constantly reporting these players of hacking yet we still somehow see them in our games and are still hacking to this day.

It's very weird how I see people instantly get banned for saying the "F word" but cheaters are still playing the game normally. I understand that the demographics for PVP is very low so there isn't much interest here but this injustice have been going for too long and I must reach out to the mass for some help here to gain traction on this since SE aren't taking any actions.

Cheat: The cheater isn't affected by cc.

Detail Explanation:

In this video, the range player on the far side used Leg Graze to inflict Heavy on the cheater MNK which supposes to slow the movement of the MNK by half but the MNK is unaffected. The far side range player then also use Foot Graze to inflict Bind which supposes to root the enemy and stop them from moving completely but the cheater here is still running freely.



After a few seconds, you can see these buffs on the cheater MNK here. This is a mechanic in PvP. After you have been inflicted with some CCs, you will then have a resistance to that CC for 10 seconds to prevent you from getting the same CC again meaning that the target was indeed inflicted but unaffected with the effects beforehand.



In PvP, it is entirely possible to ignore these kind of ccs by using Fetter Ward which is an additionals that melee can bring into matches. These have 60 seconds cooldown and is very powerful. As you can see, the target were not using Fetter Ward the entire time yet ignoring all the movement CCs.

The target is also inflicted with Silence which prevent the player from doing anything besides moving and they get Silence Resistance afterwards as well but since the video doesn't prove anything on this I can't accuse the player here.

This is a very well known hacker that was first known hacking since 4/15/2021.
This video was recorded on 11/13/2021 by one of our PvP streamer. We are still getting reports from other pvp-ers that they are still hacking to this day yet the cheater is still playing like nothing is happening.

Please, I need all your help to gain traction on this since SE have been turning a blind eye to this. I have alot more video proofs as well and have some other names beside this player here that are ruining our experiences.

I deal with people that don't care to win and just want xp, now I have to deal with hackers too. Guess I'll never go back to PvP.

We really can't do anything. We are just the English forums, the red headed stepchild that SE don' care about.

You need to report it to the 4 person Japanese based "Special Task Force". Bottom option of https://support.na.square-enix.com/c...382&la=1&fty=2

It's only 4 people, but if you keep it up, they might act eventually.

As long as PvP stays unmoderated, not even the 6.1. Changes will improve anything on the side of PvP content.

Cheating in FFXIV PvP is quite the normal thing for years, there is also plenty of them in Feast for many Seasons now, getting away with things every time, keeping the exclusive rewards only for themselves.

My favorite are the warriors who Holmgangs the split second I hit sprint. Or the plethora of people who’s target switches to me soon as I target them which is a known tool some of players use, knowing when someone is ‘looking at them’. Cheating is becoming rampant in pvp. Sucks the fun right out of it

[Tigerlilley]

This is why those top 100 rewards are a con and no one wants to do pvp. If you're not in with the right discord, if you're not using the right tools, you have no hope.

Guess I won't be doning anymore pvp. Quit last time because of them. Had dps fully heal them self when no others on there team was around. Another time had range players inside a rock where you couldn't target them or hit them but they could hit you and kill you. Last time did pvp had a healer that could out run a mount on foot.

[Sauteed]

I've just been noticing people using increased movement speed, I don't play every class, and I know there are many compulsive liars in the community, but I've seen people outrun mounted characters, on foot, across any entire battle ground a few times, and I'm talking like paladin outrunning people on mounts. I know this is not normal, but like everything else in online games, there's no winner. Just tons of copium. WOuld love to see these people get banned, deleted, and the 'tools' dealt with. Will I ever see it? Prob not.


Doesn't surprise me tho. I've seen a lot of people eating mexican food in XI.

[soukadn]

9 seconds into the match there's this monk right in front of our spawn, obviously using speedhacks. Too many cheaters in pvp right now it's insane.

[RitsukoSonoda]

Those ppl aren't hackers. They're unskilled script kiddie posers trying to convince other people they're a skilled gamer that found a program online made by someone else because they couldn't complete offline games without a game genie, game shark, action replay, etc which mostly went the way of the dodo when consoles got internet connectivity. On the plus side these people are probably playing on a 600 dollar "gaming PC" they got from walmart with little to no security on it because they don't know any better as they go looking around sketchy websites for stuff to install to let them cheat at online games.
