Until that information is not shared with the client, no anticheat or attempts at stifling plugins or mods will ever work.
    Most of the people using this tool would be stopped at the requirement of installing and running wireshark, much less having to read the output. It also wouldn't conveniently compile everyone's data into a centralized database for use by even the most tech illiterate.
    People seem to be so afraid of not having the perfect solution with 0 workaround that they reject the easy solution in front of their face.

    The fact this game has such rampant cheating and people actually threaten to leave the game for good if they can no longer cheat or use 3rd party tools to harass others is definitely eye opening though.
