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

There are plenty of folks in the high-end community that look down on Cactbot.

Nothing worse than getting 10-15 minutes deep into an ultimate and someones ACT/Cacbot stops working and suddenly the entire run is over.
And then they admit to it, nah fam just say you flunked or something unless your ACT started calling mechs out over the mic(which was a big issue for one of my groups because 2 people had 2 ACTs calling out mech's in perfect alex and both were wrong) I don't want to know you can't do this fight without it..

I think calling it a cheat is a bit of a stretch considering thousands of players kill content without it on a daily basis, and the people killing the content first are 99.9% doing it without it.

I agree with your entire post except this particular part. Flawed logic imo.

This is similar to using a times table on a math test. Sure you can do the math without it but it'll be more challenging and take longer. Just because you or someone else can do it without it does not mean the act itself stops being "cheating".
