Japanese FFXIV streamer receives a suspension for using add-ons.

If the point of "no third party" is to prevent harassment, but instead the tos is being used as a tool to harass, then maybe it's time to revisit the original point of the policy since what it set out to accomplish isn't being accomplished.

The only point I've ever seen people get banned or suspended for mod usage has been end game content. Kind of makes you wonder if maybe the issue is end game content itself and all the third party tools and the ToS are a product of it. If content is hard enough that it requires a team sport mentality and hours that place it at the level of a part-time job, it probably shouldn't be in the game proper to the general public given what WoW looks like and now what FFXIV looks like at end game. Sometimes, you just got to let them figure it out themselves or never at all and move on with life.

Given how they make fights and the usual dps checks, it is annoying to think that it's an issue where people think it's inherently bad as people could've just stayed in their lanes.
