Increasing number of players using 3rd party tools

[Sotaris]

This is more of the line of fearmonger to me. ACT, UI mods, Reshade etc has been a thing for nearly a decade.

WoW got tons of add-ons. FFXIV only have... a hand full?
I wouldnt make a big deal about people who using ACT for themselves. Live and let live.

This. The fact SE don't even offer us a proper parser to guage our own performance is why many use ACT. Not to exploit or get a upper edge over others.

Last few seasons of Feast introduced many physical ranged players that are using some kind of 3rd party programs that automatically interrupt opposing sides melee/ranged limit breaks within milliseconds. Players cant even see their LB animations/cast bars start and they are already interrupted by those players

That's a botting application. This thread seem to me just be about client side changes (UI mods) and ACT.
