Mods and cheat engine

[Saraide]

All your opinion is "its not THAT big of a deal" and "i PERSONALLY dont care" it doesnt anything of a value to a conversation. Any tool that gives you any information or fuctions thats not accessible by base client has no place in multiplayer game.
Why you think you are entitled to something console players cant have access to also questions your character.

So now we are on "cheaters are fine, its about how YOU feel about it" stage? Seriously? All gameplay affecting stuff SHOULD be disabled on developers lvl. Noone cares if your modded dress on your screen look different, but how you make invisible telegraphs appear on your screen with 3rd party software? Software calls out mechanics from you because you cant encrypt network packets thats also fine? How we remove intended animation lock form some abilities so you can tripple weave since some mysterious jp server dveller is supposed to be able to do it? Where do we stop with that crap?
I dont say we should ban people for using ffxivalexander or something. They just should make game fair for everyone.

I feel like there are conflicting statements coming up here. You say we shouldnt ban people for using alexander but then you say any tool that gives info or functions no in the base game has no place here. What is it now?

If they only way to stop people using tools creating unfair environment is to ban them, sure. I'd prefer developers remove ability of people to temper with game client and network packets (by encrypting them and validating proper behavior server-side) instead of witch hunt and anti-cheat.
