Lag Macro Exploit when will you take care of this ?

When will you do something to give a fair playground to all your playerbase ?
I mean : how is it when some people have absolutly zero lag, and are able to use 5 skills when we can only use 1 GCD ?
And no , it's not an effect of lag or bad connection, and it happens ALWAYS from the 2 same chars ... repetedly, against all other players.

I suppose you'll take care of this as soon as the bad server perf in cyro will be ok ?

    Please report in game and take a video. Don't post video here as it's against the silly forum rules but send it to ZoS.

    If you're referencing the perfect weave addon then you must not have played with the addon itself. It does not queue your rotation. All it does is prohibit you from doing another skill until you have completed a light attack. It's actually counter productive to someone trying to macro. Please don't spread misinformation.

    Turning this game in a piece of s... too bad.

    Just because you aren't lagging does not mean that your opponent isn't and vice-versa. I've had two lag spikes that I can recall within the last week and all my skills fired off at once after my character stood still for a while. I've also seen it happen on streams. If you truly believe someone is cheating, take a video and send it to ZOS, like another post mentioned.

    One kind person explained it on the forums before, they are using what is called "burst combo". It looks like they using one ability but on recount it shows multiple. That's how those combos work, total bogus if you ask me, but it's not against game rules.

    That is precisely the way ZOS intends for you to play.

    Combos aren't exploits. The best way to find exploiters is with an add-on like (I think) combat metrics, which gives you split second timecode reports of incoming damage. Fight someone you suspect of using macros. Let them hit their kill.combo.and look at the time log. Then go fight them again and let them combo you again. If the intervals in the combo are identical then it likely means they have macros on a programmed mouse. It's rarer than you think. Don't underestimate how often the game servers are letting you down in combat.

    I find it bogus, because those abilities don't show up on the screen, it looks broken. And even if it did, it would look ridiculous also, since sometimes it looks like a player having a seizure already :D

    No, it doesnt queue up anything, the addon just makes sure that you dont miss any light attacks. so no matter with what timing you spam light attack and skill it will make sure you do skill la skill la skill la etc. thats it. it doesnt mean you can queue up 5 skills and proc them with a light attack. it only prevents you from queuing up 2 skills right after another. you still have to press every single skill and la yourself

    You can in some scenarios with abilities like jabs force the weave into the channel to not fire; on your screen you can repeatedly press jabs and nothing will happen, then you know you got that baby revved up; just keep spamming jabs then suddenly they will all explode at once. Tbh this happens a lot for me in two particular scenarios and if I notice it’s bugged out; I definitely just full send it and spam abilities to then global someone kekw.

    Yeah, I have a hunch what you're seeing is just animation cancelling - which is the intended way to play. However, it never hurts to submit an actual ticket with a video directly to ZOS.

    Yep, because sometimes it's not animation cancelling but server lag. The whole "macro slice" thing used to be a thing that could be replicated. We had good videos of it (which ZOS of course deleted from the forums) where people showed how it worked. I think that particular issue has been fixed but I've personally noticed in some cases that the attacks I do don't appear to do any damage at all, until 3 seconds later the enemy just drops dead.
