Another World First Clear got disqualified due to "Cheating"

[Larirawiel]

Ultimates are a very cheap method to stretch content. So i doubt, that they will disappear.

Its mean but id find it very funny if yoshida actually just cancels the next one... *wishfull thinking*

If they actually did that, there would be a mass unsub the likes of which have never been seen. I remember when the pandemic happened and they said they weren't going to have more then TEA during Shadowbringers... Many raiders starting cussing and blaming the "casual" crowd.

Very few people Ultimate raid. There would actually be 'more' players coming back to XIV if they used those resources on more normal and EX level content additions.

Honestly I think the modders would never have started modding if they actually gave Viera and Hroth the same attention to helmets and hair as the other races in the first place. That seems to be the pipeline: Player doesn't like that SE is lazy and released yet another $30 clothing on the mog station instead of fixing the game, they start modding, then they start cheating, and then they world first an ultimate and get caught mod beasting. Someone on here said that more people use that mare thing than people who use the steam client. That's a lot of ultimate clears.

Fuck man. Warn a dude before you make your slope that slippery!

Also it's wild that you think people started modding more due to Viera and Hrothgar. Modding begins, and always has begun, with players wanting a feature to exist that doesn't already exist. That's why we have a parser. Why we have a thousand mods that do small things like defaulting answers to "yes." Why we have an alternative launcher that actually fits modern standards.

Mods exist to fill a gap, and they have existed long before a few people got upset that their anime races couldn't equip a hat.

Very few people do raid, perhaps

But it is copium to think that the removal of an ultimate raid would result in more normal and ex-level content additions. That resource would go into a black hole and it would never be seen again. - Maybe they'll add an optional hard mode dungeon, but at that point they may as well do nothing at all because the overall cycle and gameplay loop is rigid as hell.

Unless the redaction of ultimate is going to result in large-scale or repeatable content being released sooner then absolutely nothing is going to get resolved because outside of relics the game doesn't really lend itself to a solid gameplay loop. You could add several extreme primals, it will still amount to very little, to be honest.

If SE removed the entire way of being able to read the data from the game, then people would adapt, parsers = over rated and the only check you need to put in, is if you can beat the combat dummy assigned for to be able to do the EX, Savage, Ultimate or similar duty meaning you need the achievement from beating x type Dummy.

And problem solved.

Yah... Modern parsing programs work by reading the game packets sent to and from the game. They kinda can't just remove those lol.

And good luck with encrypting them. It'd be broken in a day.

Clearly they should remove damage-based combat and replace it with actual DDR. If everyone does all the steps correctly for 15-20 minutes, the fight ends and you win.
