In my last linkshell I was pressured into using windower to the point where I left the LS (albeit amicably), in my current LS it hasn't been asked of me because I do well without it, however when I was new to the LS it was said that really to be an effective white mage you need to use spellcast and they'd prefer it if I did. I've also witnessed many conversations not revolving me where people have mocked WHM who don't use windower. This is how it affects me. People allowing cheating to become the norm so that people who don't cheat are marginalised. The same frustration is true of other windower plugin features such as botting and claim assisting.

It is true that this argument has come from nowhere, and I'm sorry for that, it's the main thing that irritates me about this game. However I think I'm rigt in saying that in this read, whilst my comments may come across as inflammatory to those who use spellcast, I am primarily responding to people who don't consider it cheating. As you said these people are wrong, but maybe I shouldn't have made such a big deal about it in a thread not really about spellcast. However if anyone else claims spellcast isn't cheating, of course I will counter.
