Is Pyromancer getting a perm ban for having Dalamud?

is he getting banned for having a handwritten notebook full of notes and lore? it's not first-party, outside of the game, and makes it easier to enjoy...

You think that you have a point but you don't at all and what you're saying is a perfect example why a lot of the screeching about this is very hard to take seriously and why so much of this is just reaching like hell just to be mad about something.
What you're talking about doesn't interact with the game in any way, it's the same with Discord which I've seen others bring up as an argument.
Discord in no way interacts with the game itself, it's a third party software that is completely separated from the game.

Using ACT to actually interact with the game and make mechanics more easy to resolve is essentially cheating and it's directly interacting with the game.

The UI thing? Probably harmless. While it -is- a 3rd-party, I feel people are missing the mark a tad.

While yes, there are people who got banned (temporarily) for using ACT (Which Se has gone on record several times to say Dont Use It. and people deciding not to listen, that alone is smackable purely to prove a damn point..) there are also others that got banned for actively harmful stuff. Though not to players, but to the game.

Like the one person who actively data-mined and found the "hidden" mechanics in the DSR fight. Then strapped that to a bot to get it to play audio ques when said hidden mechanics come out, actively changing the fight by giving a tell when you shouldn't be getting one.

This is similar to why we are now forced to put markers down pre-pull and cannot move them when in combat. SE is finally showing their hand that stuff like that is not okay. Period. End of sentence. No ifs, ands or buts, no. None. Zero. We were given enough chances.

People already showed that being "Warned" about their naughty behavior doesn't bother them. If you know what you're doing is against ToS, yet you continue to do it and even decide to broadcast it to the public that you are doing so then frankly, you're in no real position to complain about being slapped for it. To be honest I'm surprised it took this long.

I actually do think that Pyro has advertised addons before, I am like 95% sure I've heard him do it on Stream when asked about it which IS something they do take action against.
It's one of the things Yoshida even brought up that if you choose to use them then don't advertise them to others.

Which if he was so gung-ho on getting people banned like people seem to think I dunno why he'd give that advise.
