Unfortunately the genie is out of the bottle. Cheating is an arms race in every game and I think FFXIV is finally popular enough that 1) it's worth increasing development of these tools and 2) enough people are talking about it for everyone else to notice. A combination of more people playing and more people on watching on YouTube/Twitch means we see this much quicker. The threshold has been crossed and the communities self-policing status quo is no longer enough. Either Square Enix have to give themselves the tools to properly moderate the game or the cheating only becomes more prevalent, eventually killing the game for people playing legitimately.
