I'd like to seek additional clarification on the recent post concerning third party tools. As I understand it all third party tools are prohibited by the terms of service. Does that mean all of the following situations would be considered a violation?

Discord is a third party VoIP program that many people use to make clearing content easier by being able to more easily communicate with other players. Would this be considered a breach of the terms of service?

Furthermore many people stream or record their attempts to clear content using programmes such as OBS or Nvidia GeForce Experience Overlay (formerly known as Shadowplay) so they can watch back those attempts to identify mistakes. Is a third party tool that records or streams their gameplay a violation of the terms of service? If yes then would the only compliant way to watch back such attempts be with the in game duty recorder?

Many players watch or read guides made by other players to clear content in this game. As these guides are not distributed by Square Enix they are third party and they help groups to clear. Would using a guide be considered a breach of the terms of service?
