In opposition of the inability to move waymarks in combat.

[Llyud1996]

I think it's good that the Dev Team and Yoshida himself have a stance regarding 3rd Party Tools. It's totally fine and I can align to that their stance. I don´t support the use of 3rd Party Tools, and expecially not the ones that affect the client and modify data, like the thing with the waymarks or cosmetic mods.


At first I want to tell you guys why I think positioning waymarks during a fight is necassarry during progression for (savage) ultimate content:

My Party just cleared TEA three weeks ago, and the ability to move single waymarks during the combat was mandatory for our progression speed. We had a lot of schedule issues, which alread delayed our progress heavily. If we wouldn't have had the ability to move waymarks, it would have taken even longer. In every phase we moved at least 3 waymarks to a different point, because it made learning so much easier if a player has a point to orient himself to.
We want to clear UCoB and UWU too, I already know about most mechanics, and when I think about not having the possibility to move waymarks for Grand Octect for example, it just feels horrible, because we will probably be stuck on that mechanic for few days at least.


They could have went a different way, regarding this 3rd Party Tool that places waymarks instantly and waymarks in general.
1) They punish the people from which they know that they have used it, just like with the dataming thing a few months ago.
2) They implement the ability to position presets during a fight ingame. It's kind of innovation for the game done by players, isn't it?
3) They remove the ability to position waymarks during a fight.
4) They let it be like it is and people can abuse it.


Please don't punish the whole playerbase for something that only a small percentage is using or doing. It will probably be limiting out gaming and raiding experience, also because we have some PS4 Players in our Static and those are completly lost regarding this issue.
