Cheaters and Add-ons

[LordTimmy]

While I find sad but at the same time makes me think "aww you cute thing xD" when I see a DPS with no materia on, like with at least 200+ ilevel down over performing other players with the latest gear and materia while moving and jumping throughout the whole arena. There is not much that can be done. All I can do is to think they need those 3rdparty tools, or they won't have fun and rage quit the game.

Less ppl playing, less revenue to SE, and so on...

Also, I don't really think if we cut off all cheaters FF14 will --OMGWeAreSoDoomed *dies* xD-- but is a very good chunk since from the beginning SE didn't do much to prevent it.

BUT, there are different degrees of cheating, If the guy mentioned in my previous example, jumping, moving like a headless chicken and over-performing the whole ally in a raid is using a packet optimizer to spam the server so he/she doesn't have any latency to do a perfect rotation with no delays, but adding stress to the server cus the spam of packets to be the first inputting his data to the server, yeah, that bouncy fella should have the ban hammer.

Other add ons like glamour or changing appearance are pretty much inoffensive and normally it happens on the gamer terminal, I don't have any problems with them.

If people want to outperform and be """the best""" by cheating I only can say that if they want to brag about how fast they won with cheating, well... good for you bro xD. 80 to 90% of the playerbase couldn't care less. But, if they're happy they will keep paying the sub, so win for SE keeping high numbers.
