Do you think the game would die without the PC playerbase?

Agreed. I have played this game for 10 years now and I even dreaded when i heard people found a way to get DPSmeters and other mods to XIV as i always hated pretty much being forced to use certain types of addons or i wasnt able to raid. I do not want those addons to make its way into XIV too

I mean they have already though, of course I know what you mean by seperating out parser, but like pretty much the entire concept of addons has made it into FFXIV. Even the DBM infamous boss addon, just not as powerful (though WoW's was nerfed too lol).

I'm sure it's a huge pain so "no thanks" says SE, but it would be cool if at least there was a more apple like addon store (over say how android works, the "wow" store). Parsers could only be personal for example (doesn't gauge your party members, maybe could compare to anonymous aggregate data but couldn't display parsing details on your party).

Or no store at all but maybe bolster the UI team a little, they do better than the default of most MMOs but there are still really nice features desired that are possible outside of game but not possible in. Like since someone referenced chat bubble is apparently a thing third party I recently found out apparently also knowing what items you have collected before is also a thing (so you can know if you had that mount, song, or what have you).
