    What sucks is even if they put the 30m penalty on it, the people who abused the system early are rewarded for it and get a rarer "prestigious" title

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    I doubt it matters much now, the title is already pretty synonymous with cheaters and exploiters. When I see a King Bean/Queen Bean I just assume they used the plugins, cheated, or abused late night Dynamis queues to get it instead of as intended.

    Yeah I agree with this. It's too late to act now. Forcing instances was never the issue anyways. It sucks that you have to wait around because there's enough people to start games immediately but a bunch of people are going to try to force the solo instance, but that's just how it is.

    With how rampant the cheating is people need a reprieve.

    Watching the entire of the event occur has been soul draining. SE could've done a lot to really prevent this from ever being an issue, but the community itself also disappoints. The FFXIV community is always praised for being amazing but there were people all over posting pics of them cheating. Someone posted an entire gif of them winning with their name visible with the cheats showing in one of my discords and the only responses were people admitting they do it too. In what world should someone who plays fairly feel like they uncomfortable about calling out someone who is obviously cheating in plain sight?

    I was really hoping that at the least we'd get a statement from Yoshi P on this. It might be a slap on the wrist, but it'd be something. To me the silence is basically encouraging this to go on and get worse.

    The 100 win achievement has turned a casual fun minigame into a bigger sweatfest than most actual super serious pvp games.

    Yeah, as someone who just put their nose to the grindstone for the first 5 days to get it I was annoyed when people mass entering then leaving to force a solo instance started to become a regular occurrence around the third day. I was using it as a means to buy a bunch of dyes and this moronic behaviour definitely impacted that. At least it's here until the end of the year as something to waste some time on when I feel like it, but the lengths people are going to in order to cheat in what amounts to a silly fun racing minigame are just plain depressing to see. Thankfully the silver lining is that the people actually cheating have their names displayed loud and proud when they fly right on up to the crown so reporting them is easy enough, I just haven't been fortunate enough to bump into one yet.

    The definition of fun is subjective.

    Also there is a 100 wins achievements on a limited time event that is literally ran on servers powered by hamsters so a lot of people can't even get a single win.

    2 wrongs don't make a right, but I don't see you talk about the issues I have put in my OP, you'd rather attack other players instead of asking SE to fix the absolutely terrible netcode.

    I know a lot of yall are scared of hurting the small indie company called square Enix, but I promise they'd get through it financially, but hey, snitching on players is easier than advocate for a better game by fixing the netcode and server tick issues.

    Go you, you're doing great to make sure this game never improves.

    Got a solo instance and winning the first round gave 86 MGF instead of 100. Expected a lot lower than that really.

    It is a wild change how people played day 1 to now.
    Now just seeing that waiting list going up and down is obnoxious (ended up replaying because I missed 1 item, thank godness i only needed 100 currency)

    The net code sucks. That doesn't excuse cheats.

    Of course, SE rarely bothers to do anything about either issue anyway.

    The chances that I'll ever win it are extremely slim, but my husband and I have had fun getting all the prizes and it's a really easy way of stocking up on those dyes. I'm not sure how much use the pink jogging suit will get, but sometimes I think that about an outfit at first and it grows on me.
