Why isn’t the third party software ban enforced?

That would require them to actually check for people using them...which they don't. Otherwise I know of plenty of people who should be banned by now.

And again, if Square cared they would be banned. Especially if the person is streaming to a large audience. If the person is not banned, then there's your answer to how they feel about those mods.

Yea I mean its not available for world first raiding as the addons aren't programmed at that point. Some one has to do it after they have done the content... and after that point having an app that does a call out rather than a Guild Leader isnt really hurting anyone its basically the same thing...there is no bragging rights after world first or competitive nature in the content after a world first has been claimed. So at that point I cant see why anyone cares if its a text line saying move your butt or a guy over the comms... Theres barely enough people as it is that do the content so at least its helping with the pool of available players to that can hope to complete it. There's no "competitive advantage" as its not like there's a leaderboard or any pro gamer stats to track like WoW. Not seeing an issue with it as these types of tools are in every other top 5 mmo out there. Square is probably happy they dont have to spend dev time programming in more aoe tells themselves.

If they did something so stupid, they would lose a huge chunk of players overnight. Can't fault players from developing helpful tools that SE won't give them.
