At this point will FFXIV collapse if all mods and third party tools disappear?

That's why I doubt they'll ever be like a anticheat that is all encompassing the game all the time. Now what I do assume as this game is like wow and that when you join a dungeon PVP or raid you're playing this content on a separate server then your actual world server (wow I know does this cuz at times you can see the world server crash but people in the raid would be fine). So I can see them adding an anticheat scan for when people enter these activity looking for third party addons when you join these servers. That's the only way I see them do it.

I’m pretty sure instanced content is already separate from the world servers since I’ve been dcd after the world servers while in an instance (ie servers going down for patch) as well as multiple times over the past couple tiers where the world servers are fine but the instance servers are laggy asf

Idk tho I’m not IT so I could be wrong

Edit; this also sounds like a very anti Raider solution, SE wouldn’t pick and choose they would go all in or nothing so idk if this would be an actual solution from them

You are correct Instances are handled by separate servers and not the world servers.
