Twitch streamers still blatantly cheating on stream.

[Remish]

ACT is not a mod.

It doesn't modify game files in any way, shape or form.


It reads combat logs.

using act isn't cheating

Yoshi P has outright said that it is cheating. However, he does elaborate into the functionality of ACT being mostly a calculator that reads the battle log and compares it to someone writing it down on a piece of paper being comparatively the same thing. He never once says that ACT is okay, but he does hint and allude that it's a pretty low priority thing for SE and the staff to care about compared to other things. Secondly, ACT is capable of doing more than being a calculator. There is catbot callouts and other various plugins. Several timers that SE very much doesn't allow that are bundled with ACT. Not to mention several other functions like auto marker plugins which are often going back and forth within the ultimate community wither or not it's cheating. Waymarker presets which got a temp ban in P7 Savage. Pretending ACT isn't a door of entry for other various cheats is delusional. ACT is basically a cheat hub that comes as a blank slate until the user installs more features themselves. Pretending it's not cheating is disingenuous. Most of the community doesn't care about ACT but that doesn't make it any less of a third party add on that provides a slight advantage based off how you use it. I'm also pretty certain that a vast majority of people would consider ACT's Cactbot, Auto Makers. Triggers, and Timers to be "Mods". As far as SE goes with ACT and 'cheating'. It's a very much don't ask, don't tell, don't harass, don't stream with it displayed and you won't be caught and punished type deal.
