Question relating scripts/bots in pvp CC

[Commander_Justitia]

btw silly question perhaps but I have been looking into my HUD settings and I cannot find an option that shows me the enemies LB bars.
Am I overlooking something? This might sound silly from a Dia player but it is what is is >.<

Its in PvE the aggro bar, its the LB bar in PvP, it will flash if full in a red/orange color instead of orange/yellow

I feel like at minimum they need to immediately adjust something about LBs to ensure they go off because there's an extremely small window where if you get CC'd immediately after activating one, your gauge will get consumed but nothing will happen.

The bots are designed to try actively cause this to happen if they have CC available when someone LBs in range of them, and it's a completely game-changing advantage that cannot be pulled off legitimately with any degree of consistency.

This will be largely the same people who did cheats, mostly scripts for The Feast.

It is often speedhacks by the less experienced users, sometimes just marginal speedboosts of constant 10-15%, so it is not noticeable that much. Then there is a cheat that lets you execute actions and movement while under cc effects. Some very rare cheats are teleports and z-axis hacks or no latency/delay hacks for instant double/triple weaving etc.

If you go into scripting the possibilities are endless, the guys who make them need to at least understand what is important for PvP and it is not always that useful as they claim to be, mostly because they wanna sell you their package and it sells better if they add more to it, lol. They used to make a complete auto-attack bot basically, where you only steer your character. Tactic and strategicwise, it is pretty dumb, but against casuals it must have been good enough. They maybe sometimes attack you while you are not even their target.

You should look out for consistent cc at the same actions, like LB setup or burst setup or when somebodys HP% trigger is below a certain threshold. Likewise they will execute specific skills under those conditions. Especially if you get the feeling that some skill is 'frameperfectly' executed every time, it is a good indication that they are scripting.

It is just much more difficult to notice I think, there are even less buttons to press now, so the chance they are randomly pressing the right stuff is higher as there are less total options to press, and there are even more people to keep track of (4 -> 5). So they are even harder to see in the rng-mess that is happening. It is like SE made a mode where they can worry less about these things, "just lose and rejoin 2min later, you forget about it".

You can't win with anti-bot/cheat systems against them unless SE installs spyware on your PC, it is better to let GM's handle it and make punishments/ban more severe and your game more expensive to buy. They are allowed to permban you without reason, if they want to. But they don't seem to make use of GM's as much as other games would, or they don't have enough tools to deal with it.

I can't find it, is it under basic?

Enemy LB bars are on the HUD automatically without any changes The LB bar is under the job symbol and it looks similar to the PvE aggro bar

[CptBuckyOhare]

Then why dont I see it? I am beginning to think I have disabled something I shouldn't have.

Also this:
someone just showed me this it's even worse then you think.

<name> is a fully automated PvP combat routine. An ACR that finally focuses on the truly important parts of FFXIV, the PvP. The real content. 8-)

An ACR that aims to improve on the basic format of 'use skills on the target'. Automatically taking into account important details like target HP, their buffs, surrounding targets, how many of your allies are targeting a person, and whether or not they're in execute range.

Also featuring many quality of life features like smart targeting, a hotbar that makes it so you no longer need to fight the ACR to get skills in, a counter that shows you the number of people currently targeting you, and making usage of addons like Argus to draw lines to your healers that turns red if they're out of line of sight.

----
Its fully reactional and basically you don't have to do anything anymore. just move around with your character the rest is done perfectly for you.
