It is not cheating if it is working as intended. Can someone with an OFFICIAL confirmation from SE that it is indeed a bug?

Well that is definitely something. Let's hope something will be done about that, thread is like 4 months old by now.

(I would still not punish PLDs currently using this, like how would you even go about proving all of this)

i would. it is clearly a confirmed bug by devs and is being abused, and even for the users who do not view forums at all or notices, it is obvious to tell this is not intended behavior. all other games, confirmed bugs being abused to gain advantage means a BAN. people are lucky if they are not PERMANENT BANNED. as to how to catch them, i do not know how these companies catch exploiters, but they have their methods, and it is always followed with a "i didnt do anything" flood of crying pleas. "i didnt know it was against the rules!" phooey


yeah right.

sometimes i would read warcraft forum in classic version for AV afk exploiters crying "oh i did nothing wrong" and the GM would come in and post the logs and data that shows they AFK exploited for 20-30 minutes at a time 20 games in a row. now that is comedy

First of all, how Blizzard GMs handle cases is not a golden standard for other games' GMs / STF.

Second, interacting with an Ovoo / Node is similar to using Elixir in there you can be interrupted upon taking damage unless Covered. Cover-Elixir is seen as a normal interaction, so I would give benefit of doubt to PLD players that they do not see this as a bug but rather an overpowered yet legit interaction.

So you would ban if not straight up permaban people using their job as they think is intended. They are merely playing meta and because some GM on the forum put the Cover-Ovoo strat into the "Accepted Bugs" queue, they should now be punished? No PSA, no warning, they are supposed "to simply know or think for themselves how this is cheating"? Like no offense, we have better things to do in our evenings than ponder if a normal-feeling interaction is considered cheating to some knobs.

No ban, no punishment. Hate the game / dev for putting no fix and no PSA out, not the player who just plays FFXIV without touching the forum.

they should just announce this and close onsal
pretty sure a lot of people dont go to the forums, check 'accepted bugs' all the time

I tried looking but I couldn't see any official confirmation from SE that this is how they intended it....if it is, I'd love to give them a slap.

Tbh, it would just be amazing to be able to get an official response in this post.

Paladin cheese is apparently the way to play!

Couldn't find it in the bugfixes, nor the accepted bugs of 6.2. Thanks Square!

this appears to be the case. no use discussing further. its been known for months, no mentions of it being corrected, dev doesnt care.
