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

this would actually improve my mothers credit score

im all for it

This mentality is actually going to kill the game. You think that it's about money, but it's really about success and legitimacy. MMOs can just die. You cheaters are killing this mmo.

Am I though? What are you people going to do when the only ones left playing the game are modders and then the mod community takes things too far? Square enix disables mods, all the parsers quit, and then what? Nobody is left.

You're creating a community that is dependent on unsupported third party addons that are against the ToS. If they stop respecting the legit player and only pander to addon abusers, guess what? It's not sustainable and it's likely to blow up in their faces. Legitimate players should always be valued above the cheaters and rule breakers. They are the ones that will support the game as is. They don't hold the developers hostage by saying things like "we will all quit if you disable parsing and ACT."

They just enjoy the game. You people are killing it for the demographic that actually matters, and square enix will lose if they continue to support your side.

Fact is, I cancelled my sub over the omega stink, and I'm definitely not alone. Fair play matters a lot to certain types of people.

This game is not good enough, and not regularly updated enough for them to get away with this. It's not that successful. It's mediocre at best.

Okay bye! If you haven't realized no one here gives two craps what you have to say, I don't know what else to tell you lol.

Doesn't matter what anyone here thinks. The developers will make their decision regardless of what you or I value. You're not in a position to tell me anything.

Neither are you, bucko. You can take your hostility, strawmanning, and ad hominem attacks and go play something else since you hate it here so much. You won't be missed, nor will you miss us. The fact that you remain here just outs you as a troll.

Wanting the game I grew to love back after feeling betrayed over learning about how bad the cheating is in the community makes me a troll. Sure thing bud.

I don't play this game to be part of any club, especially not a club of cheaters.

Are you mad that someone is pointing out that the game isn't successful enough to justify having such a dirty cheating community enabled in it?

"Successful enough" and "Good enough" aren't as quantifiably critical of statements as you think. The game could be so much more than mediocre, but the cheating community holds it back so much.

Like I have said, I probably love this game more than most of you. I don't have to mod it or parse to enjoy it.

@Zebraoracle I want to be able to look up to the peers doing challenging content. You remove that experience from the game. You make it some self-indulgent dishonest thing where everyone is just playing for their own experience and nothing external matters anymore. I want ultimate weapons to actually have real prestige. You want to do what you want, even if it means breaking the rules. Shame on you.
