Is everyone cheating now in CC?

[DioK]

I know bards are way underpowered in dps compared to the other classes, but I should not be able to pump 5 fully buffed skills into someone and their health bar just doesn't even move. And I'm not talking about pounding on the tank. I'm talking about NIN, SAM, DRG, MNK, SGE, WHM, SCH, BLM, SMN, RPR, RDM, MCH, DNC, and even other bards. I can see laying into a tank and their health bar hardly moves. They're a TANK; it's to be expected, but these other classes, something is not right.

Oh, this phenomenon doesn't happen against every player. Just sometimes, particularly once I get up to about Silver 1.

Yeah, you will see a cheater every couple matches now. People who just take no damage without using any cooldowns and are immune to CC.

I was pounding a DRG in CC before and he was not taking any damage at all and was poping a heal pot while taking damage...I know for a fact any damage you take while poping a pot cancels it out, same DRG was spamming GeirSkogul like it was nothing every 3 secs and jumps every 2 secs. come on SE FIX YOUR GAME!!! and the other team sat back and let him do it like they knew he was cheating.

Are you sure he wasn't covered by a PLD?

As far as I'm aware you can't actually manipulate ability cooldowns by hacking.

[Oldschoolegamer38]

no no is was happening even folks after the match was messaging me and telling me the same thing as well so yeah there is cheating going on big time

[Oldschoolegamer38]

and there was no PLD in the Match at all

like how your trying to deflect what is going on says i am over target of what is going on

[KageTokage]

I'm not trying to "deflect".

I'm well aware there are cheaters around, but they have limits on what they're capable of; namely, they can only manipulate data that is handled at a client-side level like movement, animation/OGCD delays, etc.

Unless they've made some sudden breakthrough that allows for manipulation of additional elements, I think we would've seen the RMT groups that are known for abusing hacks to speed up their farming using some of these supposed cheats like no cooldowns and invincibility.

The closest thing to god mode I've actually heard of is people manipulating MP regen speed to remain at out of combat levels so recuperate can be spammed constantly, which in conjunction with removal of animation/OGCD delays means they could just have a bot set up to constantly spam recuperate while they do the rest of their rotation.

Oh, the cheats are rampant. People spending over 20 seconds in Guard, dragoon jumping every attack they make, people immune to CC, Completely ignoring damage (like 5 vs1, all their other teammates were overtime dead, so long far away), 0 cooldown on skills so they spam it freely..

Don't delude yourself thinking they can't do anything. They are there, wrecking the game. And the more SE lets it go, the more people will get the cheats to get their wins. People are lame for cheating, but SE isn't doing better letting it encourage others to join in.

Implement an anti-cheat, SE, or see everyone start cheating.

For a start, maybe you should be pounding on the tank - they're not that tanky, and at moments it's important to take them down.

But even more than that, focus fire with teammates. Whether that's the tank or anyone else. Even DPS can have too many defensive options to effectively take down alone, especially as a bard.
