Would you be opposed to SE implementing a program to scan for addons/parsers?

PS5 shortage has BEEN over

Ah I see that now, haven't checked since December when it was all still waiting list and scalpers.

SE would lose a lot of goodwill in EU, OCE, NA, if they did this. People value their privacy. I too would be most displeased and consider playing alternatives like Guild Wars 2 if they did this anti-consumer move.

The more competitive game the more anti-cheat systems it has. Don't expect online games to "value your privacy" if you are afraid of anti-cheat systems. And there is nothing that affects your privacy if the game checks if its own files and runtime were modified. That's the basics it can do to block plugins and mods.

And the worst thing that can happen is all world first race players would start using addons, everyone would know it, and as nothing would leak SE would do nothing aside from making fights harder and harder because players clear them "easily" thus ending up designing fights that require add-ons to clear. Then any new player wanting to join any non-basic content would be flooded by the list of "unofficial" mods to even play the game. How "fun" would that be?

I went down the Twitter FFXIV modding community rabbit hole . . . I have seen things no lalafell should have to see. It changes you man, it alter your perceptions as to what is real and what is not. I will never be the same. The things people pay for when it comes to mods, may the higher powers have mercy on our game, and the amount of money some of these creators are pulling every month is insane.

Should ban using an OS when playing FFXIV too, since that is also third party. /s

Im so sick of these cringey passive aggressive disingeous statements with everything being third party. Please stahp, youre not being funny, just being overly annoying.

Do you prefer the people defending the ToS also being obscenely offensive and threatening people?

Anybody want another billboard incident?

how many people actually take part in world firsts? less than 1 percent of the population. What happens in ultimates shouldn't be used as ammunition against the vast majority who don't even participate in that content or care about it.

The future looks bleak.
