Please add something to FFXIV that disables 3rd party software interactions.

The backlash they'd get from axing parsers at this point would be huge.

Also, if people actually want to get around security programs like that, it's really not that difficult. WoW has been constantly plagued by botting issues despite them being among the most persistent about the matter with an active enforcement team and security programs.

They did at least succeed in scaring people into not using their mains to bot due to how real the risk of getting banned is, though. One of the main reasons botting is even as big of an issue there as it is is the lack of quest-gated progression, as you only need to be the right level to access the latest zones, which makes it way easier for people to churn out gathering bots then it is in XIV.

That said, if they actually bothered enforcing the non-RMT bots around here they'd have little issues keeping them in check.
