    If you could cycle through presets the cheating tool would be literally irrelevant. This was a simple solution, but they're taking the worst way out they possibly can. The best way to tackle cheaters is to make the cheating more of a hassle than doing it legit. It's the same way as piracy. Pirating hit a decline for games with the growth of steam and the growth of Netflix caused a decline in movie piracy because it was just more convenient and safer to get the things legitimately.

    I can't like this post enough.

    The most frustrating part is, the solution is so simple that they actually implemented it with those presets, but broke it on purpose. They monkey's paw'd us hard, and I'm just so... livid about the whole thing.

    Someone on Discord said it best: they started an arms race with 3rd party users that they cannot win.

    Meanwhile, you have Facebook loudly and proudly declaring they killed Adblock with their new million dollar technology... only to be humiliated two days later. SE cannot win a third party battle because they won't dare risk killing their raid scene by doing anything drastic like blocking parsers. So it's immediately a lost battle. There's already talks it'll become client side.
