    They allow the mod because they realise if they would ban it they would loose 90% of the raiding community, if they would make an official meter then 90% of the 'non raiders' would leave.
    In the end SE wants to retrain as much people as possible for their money.

    Maybe a bit of exaggerated numbers but that's how I see it.
    No, they "allow" the mod because FFXIV has no client-side anti-cheat software.

    As for why, it's (A) because the game was a hot mess at launch, and they never got around to implementing it because (B) it's a legal minefield, has enormous cost, and (C) doesn't actually stop the most harmful cheaters.

    Anti-cheat protection has never worked. Cheaters will bypass it, it's only a matter of time. It's a complete waste of time, money, generally makes the game performance trash, and it aggravates players.

    To be clear, it's not allowed. It's a 3rd party program, it is explicitly banned. Using ACT, mods, any 3rd party programs that interact with the game or the game's data in any way, is against the ToS.

    Then tell me why Yoshida is OK with it as long as we don't harass people with it?
    Then tell me that why Yoshida was WATCHING the livestreams of the top statics racing for worlds first ultimate in which ALL OF THEM shows DPS meters in their game screen. Yoshida even congratulated the ones that won.
    Why didn't Yoshida just ban all those people?


    Tell me.


    Extra note: it's not a cheat. Soon you people will say that I'm cheating because I use voice chat and I talk with my raiding buddies and we tell when bad stuff is coming.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
