I'm as casual as they come, and I think most casual people really don't care what raiders do or addons they use. The ones that say it is cheating or dislike it seems like a lot more because they are very loud or could be jealous console players who knows.. The only time we would have a problem, if they balance the content that we do around said addons, and they won't do it.


So if what you do and how you play will not hurt my content, or changes in the game, and I am WELL protected from being harass by players using it. I don't understand why people care, I feel like this is just a dumb sort of gatekeeping. If someone wants to use that combo addon that makes them hit the same button for a combo. Or chat bubbles. Why does that bother some people? It is weird.
Yes, SquareEnix have morals and away of working which means they will never balance the game around add-ons like the other game does. It's why the community will never require you to use them, because at the end of the day they are not required and are only used by people to make their own experience better.

Harrasment is the problem - YoshiP said it himself, the third party tools are not the issue, it's using them to harass people. Thankfully, they are quick to ban those that do. So I don't understand the people who argue against their use. They don't affect other people and the moment that they do affect other people, they get a ban.

The vast majority of casual players are fine, but there is a small vocal minority of players who want to try and spoil it for others, because they are just pathetic. Players who think Defiance is a 10 second emnity cooldown, or pull with uncomboed mythril tempest, then go on to complain about elite players using cosmetic addons. Just need to look in the mirror and stop blaming others for their inadequacies.
