A simple solution to combat all the cheating!

[Kes13a]

Because it fractures a large portion of the player base, effectively in some shape or form shunning a particular method of play that isn't necessarily detrimental to the experience of another individual. Be it with shunning parsing (unless used exclusively as a tool to harass), or similarly with banning certain plugins or third-party tools that if anything adds to the QoL experience, and should realistically be natively supported. Granted, I don't think it would impact the facets of gameplay or guidance that they're thinking of. People writing guides are already adept enough that they can do such simply by reading the tooltips with adequate spreadsheet knowledge.

rather this not turn into another WoW where you end up spending more time updating QoL mods than you do updating the game.

they do need to hard ban the cheaters. but the 4 person team doing it, is not up to the task
