Stop the WoWificaton (ui mods)

RE: That's besides the point.

Old influencers didn't use mods in respect of SE policies
People used mods moderately in silence like Parsers, Undercutters, etc., the occasional grey zone abusers like Housing

It's cute you just... copy/pasted your post. For the sake of argument, let's dissect some of this.

"Old influencers" have been using mods and addons long before WoW players came into the fold. You're entirely naive to believe otherwise. In fact, it's SE complete lack of enforcement on any of their policies that emboldened the bot crisis. More on that in a bit though.

All these third party programs you've seen were readily available in Stormblood. And some new ones were developed in early Shadowbringers.

More people now know how to use harmful mods ( Auto-silencer, Bots) and will use them

Bot programs are used because SE does absolutely nothing about it. They were prominent long before the WoW incursion. Better yet, none of them have been shown publicly by any streamer. What's gained them notoriety is SE's own complete incompetence or willful ignorance when it comes to actually handling bots. Several people have openly acknowledged they bot because, "It's not like SE will ban me lol." Texture mods and Cactbot have nothing to do with Market board bots. SE is entirely to blame for their growth.

More players, especially PS4, will get excluded ( no-parsers etc)

This does not happen. And it pretty much never has. It's the boogeyman some casual players point to as an excuse for why they can't do Savage. There are World First players that either play on console or use a controller. Years ago, people insisted ACT would lead to the exclusion of console players yet it never happened. Then triggers was supposedly going to do them in. Still never happened. Texture mods were next and nope. All of these have been around for years yet console players still haven't been excluded. Some minor aesthetic addons/QoL will have the same impact: i.e., none whatsoever.
