Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[KisaiTenshi]

So....now this is turning into a parse-user discussion over game content?

You asked. Don't ask questions you don't want an answer to.

Modders ruined games I liked playing. I see this happening again, and people defending tools like ACT FFXIV Plugin don't want to admit that they are cheating, and when they ask for hard content, they don't get it. Players who play the game legitimately need to be able to complete content without using those tools.

You are equating modders with hackers. Just like you are equating ACT with mods. Do they have similar functions? Yes they do. In both cases, they are similar in that regard. But not all modders are hackers, that is a fact. I don't understand how you can consider it cheating when the information is provided to you in the form of the default battle log that you get anyways - but nobody is going to sit there and actively calculate every single damage number that pops up in that log. That's far too inefficient, especially over the course of a long fight. Nor is someone going to be able to calculate what contribution you are bringing to the party as a whole. And fun fact - I am on PS4, and I am capable of completing content like this without a parse. I prefer to see my numbers because that is the most efficient way to be able to improve. So there goes your argument about completing content without tools - plenty of people do so. If you want to call it cheating, fine. You have a problem with it.

The devs don't as long as its not being used to harass.

Can you clear any of Sigmascape yourself? You know, since we apparently triggered your anti-parse binge. As is it, you're combining two separate issues which don't go hand in hand with each other.

Please stop lol

Your over zealous black and white stance is only showing everyone how narrow-sighted and close-minded you are. I dare say you're borderlining asinine behaviour.

Take it from a random guy who came into this thread...though I do thank you for the entertainment your head strong attitude is providing
