Can SQ-EN draw a line in the sand w/ 3rd Parties?

Ye SE is never going to do anything about 3rd party programs as long as you're not openly admitting to using them with in-game chat.

I'm kind of surprised by the initial responses though. This thread very heavily focused on the streamer side of the discussion, no illegal anti-cheat is needed when the perpetrator is actively breaking ToS and is publicly incriminating themselves with video evidence. I mean really SE can ban you for whatever reason they want it's just a matter of benefits. They benefit more from doing nothing than something.

I can say from experience if you're not deterred by the annoying set up of these 3rd party programs then you probably want the game to be easier in some way shape or form or want to circumvent a mechanic/something.
Whether that's "good" or "bad" isn't something I would personally weigh in on.

If I understood correctly in the past, isn’t SE not going to take external sources such as those videos because of the possibility of being ‘doctored’?

IIRC it that was in response to things relating to gm reports etc.

Streamers are live all the time and while someone could be doctoring their stream while live a simple question "What HUD UI mod are you using?" and a reply from said streamer would easily incriminate them and other questions should they answer them.

IMO the statement about them not using video evidence is just a cop-out like many other things they do because they benefit more from doing nothing.

They aren't "whispering in your ear" every little thing. They'll call out debuffs all at once and that's about it.

They'll whisper anything into your ear that you set it to and you can also set it to tell you what other party members have. It's audio overload and should never be used but you're kind of underestimating what it does.

It's a crutch none the less but good teammates can be that crutch just as fine.
