Use of tools that allow players to more easily complete content. Discord?

[Gemina]

Asmongold says discord is a "separate party tool," not a third party because it does not interact with the game files

Asmongold is not an employee of SE, nor does he represent any of their affiliates.

This is the most accurate post I have read in regards to discord...

Is this a personal opinion, because i see nowhere where discord is clarified as a usable 3rd party tool by an official square enix representative.

People can say what they want, but until square enix fronts up and lists what is and is not a tool, then everything is considered against ToS.

@segacious. No matter how you want to look at it, Discord is not supported by SE, and console players don't have access to it. Can you be disciplined for using it? Technically, yes you can. Will you be? No, it is extremely unlikely anyone will even be warned for just using Discord. Be that is it may, this isn't as ambiguous as people would like to make it out to be. If the shout outs in discord to tell you where to go makes you feel like it made the content easier, that more likely has to do with just doing what you were told instead of actually understanding the mechanics so you don't need to be. If you don't want to feel that way, then don't use Discord for shout outs.
