Another rant about S ranks

[LibitIncarne]

Finally, I'm not here to defend other plugins, so your silly trap with screenshots isn't going to work. If Square suddenly decided to enforce their ToS regarding plugins, I would be fine with it.
The only thing I say, is that personal plugins, although not ideal and clearly against ToS, have no effect or harm on other people. That's why Square is ignoring them. But there are a few plugins that limit the gameplay of console/vanilla users, as I explained on my previous post. Is Square Enix ok with that?

Since yelling at the plugin developers probably isn't going to work, my only option is to talk about them here.

I'm not afraid of being doxed, and I don't condone the usage of full automation software.

You're deliberately leaving out the fact that several faloop spawners either use: a program that is predominantly used by a group of XIV players to unfairly rank everyone who has participated in a certain duty against each other and a plugin within it that is predominantely used to call out mechanics so that they don't have to learn the fight themselves; or the very same game plugin that the spawner community acts outraged at the mere existence of.
Have you made sure that that warrior in your static isn't using that callout feature so that they don't have to learn the raid as much as you?

It's an arms race in trying to be the first person to the hunt mark and your group not immediately posting hunt marks that are found impacts console/vanilla players unfairly - in your own words - "Since yelling at the plugin developers probably isn't going to work".

Doxing? Looking up my static? Now this is bad quality bait.

I made my points about automation, and that I would be fine if Square Enix enforced their Terms of Service for once. On your last point, our spawner group goes out of its way to share hunts with everyone. And that includes recommending not using these automating plugins, to give a fair chance to console/vanilla players too. Sorry for ruining your conspiracy theory.

I only called out your Warrior because they're dumb enough to have the same name for their FFLogs account as their IGN.

And you know that's a lie. You (Faloop) have considerable input delay on releasing hunts that goes beyond the reasonable delay you'd expect it to take of a person in the community to click the spawnpoint of an s rank on a map.
A console player in a hunt LS/CWLS that has someone who links FiloBot relays will have a fairer chance at getting to most hunts than a vanilla player in your discord.
