Been away for a few days. A few takeaways after catching up in the thread. All mods are third party tools. All mods are external applications that edit the games code your RAM. All external applications that modify the games code have access to your information that is stored in the game. The popular launcher even requires you to put your login information in it. Those things aren't opinions, they are facts. Most of us seem to agree that what other people do that doesnt effect "me" is fine. ui mods are not such a big deal. Graphic mods are not such a big deal. Even though those two are external applications which modify the games code, and are a security risk and against TOS, period. Not an opinion. Many of these mods give literal in game advantages over players who choose not to use them because they don't want to break TOS and actually try to be a decent person. Examples of the advantages these software modifying applications give has been included in the thread. Sucks.
