Well, it's moreover people aren't bothering to look into the story and understand what's going on. Of course, information about this is sparse. However, the statement made about Third-Party Tools does stand. Just about all the hardcore raiders use third-party tools to be able to get prog and also see their numbers. Any sort of automation is of course worth a strike if they figure out they're using it, but when we talk about parsers it's mostly a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rule. Anything else? Grounds to get a strike on your account.

While this is my opinion, I think that they should only congratulate people who do it WITHOUT all those extra UI and HUD things and work with what XIV has. Can we improve upon it? Yes. We have to point them in the right direction and get their people to work on the HUD way more. Some things, such as Slidecasting, are something that have to be taught or self-taught. For instance: I can tell you easily they can make the HUD better by adding certain features that display a job's current major CDs(The 2m ones specifically) so that people know when it's Up Time to do big damage rather than forget when it was and miss out due to mechanics.
