Increasing number of players using 3rd party tools

[Somnolence]

This is a fallacy argument, you as another player have no right to discuss anything about how someone plays the game period.

If we talking about damage then this is endgame content and PF. There are minimal expectations for people participating in this context, wasting other people time is toxic.

Because of TOS nobody is criticizing anybody in game already. People that are deemed deadweights for whatever reason just get silently ghosted. Parties disband or they get kicked. And FFXIV community gets to pat each other on the back how nice they are. Is this better?

Both this situation and the gray area on third parties is because of the same reason - Square Enix only cares about maximizing money ergo they want to get sub money from both casuals and hardcores.
