Its an important read for this thread since a number of people seem to not understand SE and Yoshidas stance on 3rd part software.

Continuing on, sorry, just a little bit more. Going back to ACT, it has a function where you can add plugins and with this, you can add ‘’expansions’’. And these expansions, are not part of ACT itself, but are creations form further third parties. And such expansions, destroy game balance and it goes in the game memory, and it does bad things, and from our perspective, there are much more malicious ones as well. And in regards to this, we are very serious and the moment we find evidence, the risks of penalties is extremely high and we want you to understand this. Please keep this in mind. Even on our side, we have preventions, actually we started since around 4.0 and we actually added security to the data packets of certain actions so that players can’t decipher it. This was to observe how the plugin creators reacted and responded. And we are changing the methods continuously…. And… we want you to stop. Basically, we set the rewards based on the game balance…. And so we want this to stop.

If you read that whole thing, in a nut shell he is saying. We have to tell you no, you can't, we want you to shut up about using them if you do use them, and we don't want people reporting over usage of them unless it is affecting actual game balance.

This is why I can't take this thread seriously. Read the second to last paragraph.
