[BUG / CHEATING] Tradecraft Exploit: Mining

[ish007xx]

lol i to though i was seeing things while i was farming for crystals i saw a player same in stealth lvl 12 and was farming to and while i ran to other tree he was already there b4 me -_- i was like WTH lol but they are going to make it hard for gathers to earn a honest day of farming while they just do nothing and ruin the game for us.The prices in shards on my Server Admanatoise has already decreased by 50% and im guessing it these players that are driving down the market

I would imagine they are aware, I report them when I see them too. Yes, it's a pain - but hopefully everyone we report will have gil/experience wiped when they have a fix for the problem.

I would agree that they are probably trying to figure out exactly how they are doing it and have a way to detect it and prevent it from happening further.

Forget wiping their gil and experience... they need to be banned out right as the rest of the RMTs are. Seriously this is absolutely ridiculous. While I am sure they are aware of this it will probably take time to get this implemented across the board. Hopefully it won't take as long as I fear it will but who knows. I really hope its fixed soon.

World Server: Leviathan
Zone: Central Thanalan
Time Witnessed: 9/17/2013 at approx. 7:30 PM PDT
Details: Two players named 'Demon Shadow' and 'Chulolo Chulo' were witnessed teleporting from one mining node to another in Stealth mode, moving immediately from one used up mining node to a new one a considerable distance apart, immediately and in stealth, which normally slows player movement down. This was ongoing as I watched for about 15 minutes to see if was a latency issue on my part or not, but that was not the case. They would mine one node, then immediately pop up on top of a new node and start mining, then move on to another one nearby. This was immediate movement from one node to another, NOT walking or traveling by any other means such as a mount.

Considering we all get access to a node of our own, I don't see any other reason for this than that they are selling items either through market and/or to vendors then selling currency for RMT.

same name but different server
Edit: i saw my character name, luckily i'm on ragnarock xD

it's called lag,i was using a vpn yesterday and was laggy as hell.

Wait, really?
Either you are trying to troll and are seriously failing at it, or you have no idea what we are talking about here.

That said, having picked up mining myself a few days ago to augment leveling my crafts I too see this at nearly every lowbe node. (5/10)
I have yet to spot them at the higher nodes however (15+). (Excalibur) Then again, I'm only level 17 at the moment.

I'm pretty sure the DEV team knows, but like other countermeasures, they aren't implemented in a day.
Although I am really starting to wonder if this game has an active GM team, and if so, how many considering it sometimes takes days before even the shout/tell spammers are taken care of.

Oh crap, didn't notice the name until you pointed that out.
Apologies.

Apart from that, my heart is beating so I seem to have a life.
Thank you for your concern.
