Are we going to keep pretending that PC and console players are the same?

Do I have to link you the article where Yoshi-p has they would stop supporting them?

And you believe this PR talk?

Ultimates were added precisely to increase raider sub retention, since they had nothing to do after clearing a tier. Now just look at all the statics still doing them and recruiting for them right now in raiding discords, even more casual ones are doing them and therefore keeping subs alive to login for few hours a week.

It was a smashing success.

When you buy a clear you are usually giving your login info to the seller so they can pilot your account.

Depends on the fight. Some will be able to just let you die in the corner/perform minimal mechs while 6 clear as well.

I am only concerned about what Arthars is ranting recently - automarkers in ultimates.

Because they became mandatory in PF if you want to do ults PF somebody is expected to use them and opting out of this means not getting to do ults in PF at all.

I admit that on some sense ease of use/quality of life mods are reaction to game design conflicting with player desire to reduce hassle and difficulty.

The last point is ironic, but in reality people don't care about doing hard stuff but getting sense of pride accomplishment™ for completing hard stuff.

Gacha/Lootbox game genre and souls game genre would have died long ago, if players in general don't like to brag, lol.

Too bad they don't try to retain anyone else except maybe people into single player action titles.

Bs. The fact that every person I talked to and brought up the fact that I find their ult weapons worthless because they cheated, or someone they were with cheated, then they get super pissed off and offended tells me you are as incorrect as someone can be. They have something they feel others (the majority) don't/won't have so they flaunt it. It isn't enough that most of them look terrible compared to the relics, now you can buy the things for gil... and if you wanna go against ToS buy runs with real money. Thing is most people doing ults have AM or some other form of cheats which is already against ToS so why not sell weapons too?

This is why a game can not put up with cheaters in pve, pvp, pvrpep. It is all the same, some people just making the game worse for everyone else.

oh get over yourself. the worth of a weapon is yours to have. people only make a game worse for you if you let them. Turtledeluxe is right the value comes from yourself. having it come from others is like living your life for someone else's dreams. you will never be happy if you do. adding anti-cheat to XIV will not fix your issue and it will not stop cheaters. every single game that has anti-cheat that is worth playing still has cheaters despite the anti-cheat claims.
no my rant isn't about helping cheaters. I'm against them too but your solution won't stop them and will likely do what every anti-cheat does. punish legit players.

fornite uses it as well and ....yeah try modding it out of that game.

oh man you actually think this means people aren't cheating in fortnite? bahahahaha. I fully believe there are loads of cheaters in that awful game. but obviously you think the anti-cheat in it actually stops them. not likely.
I fully believe as I already said. every game worth anything has cheaters of some sort. letting them bother you like this shows you don't understand how it works. the moment you add an anti-cheat to a game you invite someone to defeat it. you can bet if they added it to XIV someone would not only defeat it they would spread it like wildfire.
them adding it would be a waste of time and punish not the cheaters but legit players as EVERY anti-cheat does.

Tell me you have zero idea about how or why anti cheat programs work without telling me you have zero idea about how or why they work.

At the end of the day the only people against having one in xiv are people that take advantage of the fact there is none, aka cheaters. Almost every other online (competitive) game requires one, so xiv is the odd program out here.

what a load of garbage, you can be against anti-cheat and not be a cheater. you sir are making yourself look worse and worse with your arguments.
keep going and you will argue away every reason you have for the anti-cheat.
