Those tools came about from bad security measures on Nexons part which affected all their games. Even Combat Arms, which was newly released at the time when I last was a GM there.
Go open the ACT Plugin with dotpeek, look for "FFXIVPointers", and try to tell me that again with a straight face.

I'm not 100% sure of the mods in this game but addons in WoW & RIFT for example utilised the add-on API the game provides. In there lies all information and using a DPS meter addon for example will just display the DPS part of the information.

In FFXIV there is no addon api but ACT checks the combat log, boss health pool, etc and shows you your DPS number?
The ACT plugin has direct access to the game's memory, and networking. If SE had an "official API" it wouldn't be hacking would it?
