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

The STF being based strictly in Japan would mean that any reports being sent in from other regions would likely need to be translated and relayed to them...which is insanely impractical even if they weren't working with such a small taskforce.

The silly thing is that the ToS explicitly states that it's within a GM's power to investigate reports of cheating, yet if you try to get them on someone's case, they will immediately redirect you to the STF so...there's something really off about this whole situation if the ToS is contradicting itself.

While they reacted very quickly to the free trial bots invading PvP, I feel like that was probably more the result of someone tweeting videos of it to the official JP XIV twitter so it seems like the only way to make things happen is to get problems noticed by the higher ups.

I might have to do this honestly... It's going to look ugly since it's basically witch hunting. If they get banned then they make a new one then the cycle repeats over and over until SE makes changes.

They took action on a 500 likes 300 retweet tweet so Imma try to rally people up for that.

I don't think you can really witch hunt in PvP when names are turned off by default.

A simple compilation of people using hacks to move quickly or ignore CC would be enough to make a point I'd think.

... Pumping this thread because they are still playing and cheating -.-

Made a witch hunt twitter, I'm trying to amass as many people as I can first.

Afterwards, I'm arranging some scheduled twitter post and ping every FFXIV community I'm in to get as much retweets/likes as possible so that I can replicate the report tweet above to get them ban.

The next time I post in this thread will be when I post the tweet. Can't believe I have to go this far just to HOPEFULLY get some cheater banned.

For any hacker/cheater with proof, I plan to use this twitter in the future to just witch hunt players and hopefully one day SE will have some dedicated team that's not just 4 Japanese people handling hacker/botter/cheater cases.

Do you even understand why it is called "witch hunt"? Nothing good came from them. So please refrain from doing stuff like this.

Well, what other option do you suggest?
It took 6 months from everyone's joint effort on Primal to ban this guy's alt/trail account that is using hacks.
Right now, his main is power leveling another alt/trial character in copperbell mine field so he can use it at lvl 30 to terrorize Primal Frontline with hack again.
How about permeantly ban trail account user to play frontline?
Are you going to say why punish other innocent trail account users?
Give us a better suggestion instead

Trial accounts are already blocked from PvP thanks to some people trying accomplish who knows what by setting up bots that would just spam Rival Wings, then teleport demolishers over the enemy objectives and bomb them without any fear of retaliation.
