Third-party Tools Can Negatively Affect Players Not Using Them

[Raionek]

Hear me out. You know that some time ago there was a huge boom of players coming from WoW to play FFXIV?
We were all happy that we got so many new players to play with. And also happy that our game has a better community than WoW.

After some time people in FFXIV started using addons a lot. Just like WoW players did already for years.
Basically WoW players had to bring their addon community to FFXIV.

Now new WoW DLCs and servers are coming out and most players are returning to WoW.
They have literally destroyed our community with their addons and are going back to their own game.
Everything wrong with our community now was WoW players' doing all along.

They came here and antagonized our community to itself by splitting it into sides of addon-approvers and addon-enemies.
If SE doesn't do something with it and won't take a proper anti-addon or pro-addon stance, we're gonna end up like Karellian race here.

...Thanks for hearing out my conspiracy theory.
