  2. "People who seek out challenging content in an MMO are narcissists who are drawn to the prestige of it, not the actual challenge. The very thing that makes them to seek out high-end raiding is what drives them to cheat. Hardcore raiding has never been about challenge for challenge's sake ,it's been about bragging rights, and about having a cool glam to flex on lesser players who simply lack the free-time to spend so much time on a raid.

    As such: cheating is naturally not an issue for them.

    When the goal is not overcoming immense challenges for the sake of it, but for the rewards and bragging rights, why would you have any issue cheating to get it? Seeking out hardcore content is narcissistic by default, it's something that attracts egoists by its very nature. the amount of people who actually play hard content because they like the challenge is incredibly miniscule. Very few people like to be challenged in life in any shape or form and naturally go the path of least resistance, since the goal for the vast majority doing hardcore content is the rewards and bragging right (ego based motivations) naturally they cheat, because cheating is the path of least resistance.
    This is why "hardcore content" in an MMO is an oxymoron and will never not be a total waste of developer resources trying to cater to these people, because they don't actually want hard content in the first place, they just want the illusion of it, and something to flex on other players. Even if they didn't earn it fair and square."

  4. I dont see this ass cheating. Vs all the other bs like some years ago of somebody ripping open the gamefiles to know when what attacks do. Or a SE worker leaking game info on a fight to a japenees group. Dps meters, knowing what buffs the team has in a better way then the cursed clusterfuck we have been stuck with since game start or being able to zoom in and out more are needed qol things that should have been options for many years. But most of the work time now a days goes into making shitty looking mogstation items and selling them for stupid overpriced prices.

  6. Third party tools can be hidden, thanks for mentioning that. Turning this race into a WoW-style world first race, making everyone stream and throwing big streamer money into the mix isn't going to end well or reduce "cheating". And yet we assume the devs will keep creating for us beautiful Ultimates that are tuned competitively. We need to clean up our own act first. Or just give Ultimate a break and make us more dungeons like Criterion instead. We kept complaining we weren't getting more competitive content and we keep proving it isn't what we wanted to begin with.

  7. The zoom hack is very broken, by the way.
    It is a massive advantage.
    For anyone trying to downplay it, they clearly have not played the game long enough.
    This is why you have a raid leader to call mechanics they can see.

  11. FF14 should either embrace addons or use Easy Cheat. I don't get the drama. When you don't enforce addon banning what do you expect? Using something as simple as damage meter gives you huge advantage over someone who isn't, just because you can analyze your rotation, pick the perfect spots to use CDs and generally have a better performance. I know for a fact that most Savage raiders use some sort of a damage meter. So what? Ban them all now?
