How many Mods/Plugins/Tools were made for Raiding vs anything Non-Raiding? Isn't like 95% of the game like not Raiding content?
  • Body/Hair/Tattoo-mods
  • NSFW anything
  • Glamour-mods
  • Gpose
  • Housing furniture placement and identification
  • UI & Hud customizations and coloring
  • Crafting and Gathering anything
  • Chat and Emotes anything
  • Weather control
  • Daily schedule routine reminders
  • Deep Dungeon anything
  • Orchestrion player anywhere
  • PvP QOL plugins
Knowing or not knowing usage of 3rd party tools isn't going to affect you in-game. How come people default to condemning Raiders though? Even the once that "don't use any". Think we failed as a community here... cause we're progressive and inclusive... we should be condemning everything!
  • Voicechat is a 3rd party tool
  • Your Mouse/Keyboard/Phone are 3rd party tools
  • Your second Monitor is a 3rd party tool
  • Your monitors having higher refresh rate is a 3rd party tool
  • Your better internet connection is a 3rd party tool
  • Your roof keeping you dry during rain when playing is a 3rd party tool
Heck that coffee-maker that makes coffee that increases your DPS output by 1 OGCD is a 3rd party tool =u=;; ( this is not a scientific proven fact don't quote me on this last one )

Yoshi-P made his stance clear as is the ToS.
Square knows however the potential loss of players if Plugins are completely denied by making something that detects Plugins. It's best for Square to update and improve the game that makes a lot of the plugins unnecessary by default.
