They need to find a way to detect XIV Alexander and ban people

Yeah, until you get addon that gives you safe and dangerous spots on Yojimbo in good saucer, what about that one? also "its just X" Its never just something, people gonna keep pushing it further and further.

One of the pictures i saw online yesterday, is this one "okay" too? All of those need to be disabled on dev lvl.

Any third party software that allows you something thats not possible in baseline game is not insignificant, it creates unfair environment in MULTIPLAYER game and should be removed/disabled or made baseline. Whats hard to understand here?

Except, being able to triple-weave is possible in the baseline game... so long as you're Japanese, Californian, or German. The base game just gives a nice middle-finger to those who want to play even a double-weave job (which is basically any of them) at higher ping. But I'm sure that is fair?

Again, I'm all for those restrictions being removed outright, but in the meantime, it hardly seems worth complaining about some people making the game fairer for themselves by mitigating the impact of latency on their ability to play the game.

What the title says. I just found out that it literally tells you things in the game that you shouldn't know prior. For example. WHen you do the Gold Saucer Mini Cactpot, it will LIGHT UP the ones you want to click for the highest reward... That's absurd.

Further. If any contest comes back like the Firmament, it will literally tell these people what to use each step to get the best quality. It can also adjust their ping to be near zero, allowing them to hit skills/nodes much faster than others. This doesn't need to be allowed and there has got to be a way to detect it. Clearly it's reading something in the game files to allow it to tell you what buttons on the mini cact you wanna click. Which is against ToS.

there is a website too for u to do the mini cactpot

Oh noes, you can earn more MGP than other people. Game is unplayable now!

[Koldan]

Tripple weave is not possible with how game is programmed if you had reading comprehention and actually read your beloved ffxivalexander repository you'd understand that.
And yes, earning more MGP than other people is bad for the game, same as getting more gil, or more anything in MULTIPLAYER game than others. Its one thing that person is lucky and other one is blantantly cheating and getting advantage over others.
Its the same as housing bots, "oh no, you get ah house and others dont, boohoo, game is unplayable now" can be applied to anything and just blantantly stupid. MMO and multiplayer games are about equal ground, everyone is suppose to be playing by same game rules not "i just use this tool to play a bit better".
If you dont understand that you are either intellectually dishonest or plainly stupid.

First of all the cactbot "solver" is not giving you a 100% success rate. It basically shows you which line/spot you should solve for in order to increase your chances. Something that is very easy to do even without the tool and you basically use the same method every round.
Secondly as far as I am aware you can't sell MGP rewards on the market board. So there is no real advantage to have. You're not impacting the economy in any way.

[Koldan]

Yeah, cacpot solver doesnt, what about yojimbo telegraphs? It gives good rewards, there are archivements for that, what about that one? Also good? What next? Cheating system to give you more than 450 tomes per week maybe? When do we stop?
All 3rd party software tempering with code/network packets should be disabled or made baseline.
One thing is just cheking your damage with combat log to parse, another thing is slowing you telegraphs you cant see, changing how client communicates with server to tripple weave and such.

[Shialan]

Please tell me that you don't think that it is technically possible to circumvent the tome limit. To do that, you would have to rewrite the GAME CODE. This won't ever be possible because your character data is in fact protected. You can't change it. The only stuff you can do with third-party tools is VISUAL (how your game looks for yourself) or CONTROL (how your character behaves) stuff. You CAN'T change GAME MECHANICS.


And again, for the millionth time: People using these tools will not change anything, because they are against the TOS. That means that the developers won't ever create content around the use of these tools. But they also don't care about anyone using them, as long as they don't use them to harass other players.
