Need advice: static imploding because of cheater.

Do I really need to write it into rules "don't cheat"? Do I also have to have a rule saying "don't be racist" or "don't try to hit on the women in the static"?

Yeah, you absolutely need to write into the rules "No third party tools, zero tolerance". These are common enough that this information would in fact be necessary for many people to decide to join your raid group or not. They are against ToS but if you read the room that is FFXIV their use is extremely widespread. So much so, that in any given PUG group in savage you can pretty much be certain at least one person is using something. Be it a parser or a cosmetic mod. Same with statics I'd wager.

Hopefully this is the lesson learned from this.

Being clear about rules in advance will save a lot of headache, and investing in team members who aren't a fit.
