Anyone who wants to run a third party program knows how to work around the lack of ALT+TAB, so they are mostly inconveniencing their more casual players.

Of course, everyone has their old computer sitting around anyway. ALT-TAB would be nice, but then that old PC would truely be worthless.

anyone wanting to run a bot (Which i would not recommend) would just put the game in windowed mode in config, then when playing normally would simply restart the game in fullscreen when he or she is in front of the PC. so the fact that SE wont add Alt + tab seems pretty retarded anyway. It only takes a few seconds to force close the game and restart it in fullscreen or windowed. I had a lot of problems when I started using CrossfieX with ffxiv so I was switching between windowed and full a lot before I figured out what the problem was with the flickering UI. But thats a whole other thread which I wont get into right now
