Time for an anti-cheat

[HikariKurosawa]

So SE should put tracking software on everyone's devices because a small part of the playerbase might use mods in a race? What a good solution that definitely won't piss off everyone.

Anti-cheat is extremely normal in modern gaming. If you're worried about it that's kinda weird.

Also, what? It's not about the race to world first, it's about people who cheat in this game at every level. People who modify cosmetics, etc.

They don't need to track every single datapoint on your pc and they wouldn't want to do that to begin with. They would track if you are running cheats related to FFXIV. It's normal and it's really weird that you imply that it would piss you off. Maybe you're a cheater?

The more I think about your post the more silly and sus it becomes lol. Let me tell you outright, 100% of the people participating in the race to world first are cheating. It would be streamed content otherwise. They wouldn't be in the "race" otherwise. Since people cheat in the race, everyone has to cheat to compete. It's not an "if" or "some people might be", they 100% are cheating. Read party finder groups for most hard content in this game, they deliberately state cheats as a requirement for participation. They think it is clever to use indirect language to refer to the cheats, but it is not clever at all. The cheating issue in this game is entirely out of hand and it is time for an anti-cheat.

Valorant players have no issue with accepting anti-cheat. It is normal like I said. If you can't handle an anti-cheat system on your computer, maybe you just shouldn't be playing multiplayer games.
