Another World First Clear got disqualified due to "Cheating"

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Damn. I was hoping for some uproar related to funny tools specifically made to correct the terrible netcode so that they can ban somebody then implement it officially :P

i woulnd't be surprised if Yoshi P and the Team just stopped doing them.

I don't think they'll stop doing them. No reason to stop just because of a few spoil-sports.

Ultimate Weapons and Titles have nearly no value due to how many people just buy clears

I've thought about this. Before DC travel, I never saw anyone with an Ultimate weapon on Crystal except one time in a dungeon. If they were buying clears a lot, they'd probably all have had them like on Aether. At the time, it was hard to find anyone without one on Aether.

So is there some statistical evidence that a lot of people buy them?

or use Cheats/Mods

I think a lot of people do this throughout the game and probably a lot of clears involve these to some extent. I don't personally care, as long as the people in my party are making progress. It's PvE so it's not really competitive, except during the world first race and that's the only time it's a big issue in my opinion.

My god, you all need to understand how much I was looking forward to this, I knew there would be addon & plugin drama, it was inevitable, and I was picking out my best popcorn kernels weeks in advance, if anything I am disappointed this is all there is to show, come on, give me something juicer!

It'd have to be console only

Modding is possible on console, it's harder, by a wide margin, but it is, the only way to truly validate it would be to have all machines set up by a third party and keep them under surveillance the entire way through, which would be, well, a bit too insane.

Anyone involved in this cheating should be IP banned, non of them can access the game for at least a year

Ultimates to me, do not matter. Being a "World First" team means nothing the second you log off of this MMO, and there really isn't any E-sports level of hype backing this. Honestly who cares? Yoshi P might pretend to care for PR purposes, but SE and him genuinely doesn't give a damn unless the flow of cash gets interupted on its journey into their bank accounts.

Cheating in high end content is bad. Who would have thought? But if anyone thinks the solution is to just erase plugins and mods, you'll turn this MMO into a dead game overnight. Third party mods prop up a giant portion of this community, SE knows this, and will never for a second act to punish anyone except those who break the "Silent Contract".

[Asari5]

at this point they should just hire frosty as world first race overseer. this man does everything for it xD

[Rehayem]

I made a silly bet with some people saying JP will win the race but they'll be caught with cheats and my prediction was right lol

YoshiP would stop doing what? The dev has nothing to do with the WFR, at most they'd congratulate them and nothing more.

[Ath192]

WFR is entertainment, not meant to be taken seriously or as an E-Sport. People will use plugins, it doesn't matter if they hide them perfectly and noone notices, you need to assume by default they are being used. Any attempts by the hosts, checkers, moderators, people involved are not a guarantee.

This is reality. To believe people aren't using plugins would make you a fool. Period. Even if they aren't, you just can't trust. As such, you are wasting your life being angry about it, because quite simply nobody is ever fixing this permanently.

Wut. Even after all the previous blow-ups, they haven't learned to "proofread" their screenshots before posting?
Guess there's a reason certain people need cheats.
