Gameguard would be great like in pso2, if it notices stuff like parser running it closes the game.

Thankfully, FFXIV will never do that. Parsers are harmless, and so is 99% of the addons in this game.

That means there are still 1% of addons that are harmful.

its like, 4 or 5 plugins that are known cheats. And its very clear if someone is using them or not, then there are a few botting tools, and literally the rest are QoL stuff that SQE should put in the game, but doesnt, because its SQE.

Besides, I doubt you have the game sense to fully understand this at 250 hours, but i can promise you, as someone who genuinely enjoys going into fights blind, and actually studies mechanics, its very.. very easy to tell if someone uses radar to preposition/move before a mechanic is even cast. Its not rocket science, but it is something you learn over time to watch. And.. in this community, word travels fast if youre exposed for cheating.

Besides, you really imposing a ban on people that just want to ERP and actually be naked? Can you even fathom how much money SQE makes per month off of those folks? Just 1 server, looking at 2000+ active people in a single zone doing ERP, thats between $26000-$30000 worth of subs at any given time.

And still not even remotely a problem.

You called this a clear flamebait thread yet wrote three paragraphs anyway.

Informing you of your misunderstandings...

Anti-cheat doesn't stop cheaters anymore than security cameras stop a bank robbery.

That would be like me saying that they should remove all lootboxes and remove the trading/selling feature for TF2. Hell, they could just get rid of hats completely. It harms others due to some people in that community trying to scam others.

You see what I did there? Almost anything can be used with ill intent. Even things built into the game like the party kick.

then ya would need to look which plugin/addon/mod (well mods are usually solely for clothes/outfits etc. xD) would considered cheating and whichone not.

some say ACT with its sole function to track DPS is already cheating.
others dont.
in the dev team would go this on probably too and then you have a dilema because everyone has a different opinion XD. act was the easiest example x3. ofcourse thereare obsivious plugins which are definitly considered cheating tho.

thankfully, SE aren't going to do anything about. If bossmod is suddenly gone, pf savages are going to be even more painful than they already are.
I personally couldn't care less whether my party uses any third party tools as long as we are clearing the boss

Sounds like a skill issue. Yoshida and his team that designs the content can clear it without cheats and on console/controller, normal console players even stream their Ultimate clears without cheats.

Can't wait for them to implement the new 'countermeasures'.

i doubt they will. it will destroy the entire modding community which keeps the game to atleast 50% alive when ya look at the amount of peoples which sit in limsa using 1 emote but for them is it probably a dance with music but you dont see it at all etc. since it changes that animation.

the FF14 team is probably aware of this and the game would probably pretty much die as soon something like easy anti-cheat gets implemented.
