Either you don't know what you're talking about, either you do and just hate cactbot so much just out of principle.

When these mods become commonplace the community suffers. parsers toe the line as is and yes people still get filtered from statics for not having logs or acceptable numbers. You can pretend it doesn't happen by pointing to party finder but lets not pretend discord doesn't exist and hasn't become the premier place to recruit.
As I said, this is private stuff, and as I said, I'm sure if you can show these people in roster trials that you don't need cactbot, they'll take you if you're good enough. Or they don't know how the game works and won't make much progress, so you're not missing on anything. And even then, nothing prevents you from doing your own static, cactbot-free, if EVER every last static demands you got it.

I applaud SE for making fights have audio visual tells instead of relying on danger zones and seemingly random timed sequences. I just don't wish to see these handicap mods become commonplace and then required.
You've made that clear, but please don't call them handicap mods, and please, stop pretending you know what is just or not. To each his own, there are people out there that have their own endgame that focuses on gardening, surely, you'll always find people that don't want to install cactbot if it ever becomes somewhat mandatory.
