It's against the rulessssss.
It shouldn't be a crime in the first place, is my point.
Yet there are harmful ways to smoke pot that endangers other people, like when you have children and you get stoned like Titan. So even to your precious smoking pot there are nuances of what is right and wrong.
Lets take alcohol for example, in theory a total prohibition which would mean no alcohol at all (not even on the black market) which in this case would be a anti cheat software that actually works (really rare thing...even games with anticheat have hackers galore), would mean that there would be no alcohol related crimes. Like you can't harass people with parses that don't exist in the first place. But a total prohibition would take away from the culture and fun people have. So lets have total freedom then, which would be also bad cause then you basically push also the harmful behavior. Like you see with alcohol, we have total freedom basically which results in violence and people who waste their live and liver and the easy accessibility harms the young people. Which in our case would be basically third party tools being allowed completely and XIV descending into the WoW madness of plugins etc. which cause toxicity and less engaging content, cause a third party tool will tell you what the boss does next anyways so no need to learn it anymore. Not to mention that the amount of harassment would also spike.
So there has to be some middle ground, which is don't talk about it...don't show it and people won't care and SE can't ban you cause they won't know. If you want to smoke pot, you can do it but don't do it in a harmful way that harasses other people and don't put yourself into the spotlight promoting stuff that isn't allowed in theory. Cause both other ways are way worse than this truth between players and SE, which streamers and youtubers destroy slowly with their sloppy attitude.
Except mods and addons ain't made by Square Enix so it has nothing to do with catering. Even if it was I could use the same argument to say we shouldn't port the game on a new gens console cause ''The game isn't designed and Catered to Console players and never will be'' That just called crab bucket mentality. Just cause you don't need or want a better Ui doesn't mean others shouldn't get it.
