FFXIV isn't any worse for anyone but cheaters if you put in an anticheat and honestly I have no sympathy for botters, cheaters, or people who mod to do things like ahrass other players. They can leave for all I care.
For starters, Linux could break with a ring lvl 0 anti cheat......and that's even before we even get into the problems of having kernel level anticheat in the first place. I know Riot caused a bit of an issue on League with vanguard causing boot loops.
