In opposition of the inability to move waymarks in combat.

Losing battle or not isn’t the point. The game has grown quite a lot since shadowbringers, and continues to do so. The dev team had to take a stand on where the line is. They’ve made it clear.

How is losing the battle not the point and how have they made anything clear?! If the entire point of this decision is to battle cheating then losing the battle is absolutely a point! They keep telling people to "please not do this" without actually swinging the ban hammer. You can draw lines in the sand as much as you like if people just step over them without getting hit in the face. None of what was said will actually deter someone from finding another way to cheat if they think nothing can actually happen to them.

Everyone says this alternative is so easy it’s this it’s that, or this is the wrong or worse way to go about it. That’s false. The worse way they could have gone about it is to change ToS to allow for a scan of any files attached to their game (which they admitted was illegal and arent going to do)

Cool strawman argument, nobody asked for that.

So no this doesn’t really affect the player base at large in any meaningful negative way. In fact presets and additional waymarks are more positive.

Doesn't matter how many people it affects, everyone is in their right to call it out when their QoL is compromised. Also, nobody complained about additional waymarks or presets, don't mistake the actual complaint.

The sky isn’t falling the game isn’t breaking for dealing with this convenient add on to a third party program that wasnt even available to everyone. It’s against ToS it always has been. Least they were up front and told it to everyone rather than just dropping the ban hammer without warning. Better to take the blanket solution then try to play whack a mole with every person that abuses the system or cheats to get ahead.

I have two problems with this statement: 1. You're making this sound like everyone advocating for not removing this feature is actually using this tool. Sometimes it is just as simple as "I've been using waymarks in battle for 6 years and I'd like to keep using them". 2. What the hell is wrong with asking for actual punishment for cheating?! Like you keep throwing around "tough life, just deal with it" when you could just as well ask for proper community management that sorts out bad apples until people are too scared to be bad apples. Like actually please explain to me how this blanket solution is better and healthier for the game at large than making a system that detects cheating like you claim.
