3rd party tool go brrrrr

[Inanegrain]

Pros:
They want it.
They can measure compute their states and formulate strategies using a program to give them advise.

Cons:
Harassment.
Not the intended play style.
Advantage over users who do not use the tool.
Use of addons that go beyond strictly parsing.
Game information is mined and collected.

Counter:
Harassment - No one would do that its against the rules on its own. - followed by calling players bad for their lack of stats on websites that people upload others parsed data to. so how could they be harassed their just bad.

Not the intended play style. - Its not needed but makes things easier. People want to play better but don't know how without hard calculated evidence from a computer program and script telling them as such. Also followed by arguments the the ones bring up that the game wasn't intended to be played that way are just bad players and could never do that content... further proving harassment.

Use of addons that go beyond strictly parsing. - but that would be against the rules, maybe? and also doesn't happen... often....

Game information is mined and collected. - You just don't understand how data works, it was already there... - no valid counter really made.


Please tell me where I misunderstood?

The part where this isn't for players that aren't interested in putting effort for difficult content. And for what I've already said, not meant to be here, you.

all addons are ToS breaking, said many times now, not limited to "parsers" to begin with except for the niche 2013 statement of Gshade.

See that battle log that seems like clutter? You don't need to know most of it and I doubt people cleaned it up to show relevant information.

You guys need to stop arguing with all these Witch-Hunters. They crave this crap. Some of them are attention *!@#*&* if you know what I mean. Please just let them grovel in their vomit of excuses. Just enjoy the game. Let them wonder off into oblivion or something. Just continuing having fun with whatever you are doing in the game, and on your own computer.

Its not a witch hunt.

Its an Inquisition. All will be found.
All will be questioned.
All will be punished.

A company being out of touch with a large majority of their player base is nothing new, unfortunately...

Yeah Blizzard certainly is.

NFT Market Collapses Just As Square Enix Sells Tomb Raider To Bet Big On Blockchain

I beg to differ. Squenix is just as out of touch as any other company.

Needing to clarify who's the good guy in EW. Taking half a decade to fix Living Dead. Healer state. Hroth state. Viera state. Housing state. No Limited Job for years despite being told they'd come out faster than normal ones. And much, much more!

Why the hell do I have to do the thinking for you people?

And yeah, the NFT thing is pretty bad too.

Ehh most of the things you listed are not exactly game breaking issues. Have to also separate SE from CBU3. Creative business unit 3 is the one that deals with ff14 mainly. And well they had to deal with covid19 during shb as well as being tasked by SE to work on ff16 despite them always asking SE for more staff to do more. So they had 2 big issues screwing with what they can do really during SHB patch series. But given ff16 seems to be near completion, should at least see more issues addressed given more manpower to actually do that.

Sure, they're not "game breaking" issues to some, but the fact that SE/CBU3 takes their time or doesn't address issues that aren't game breaking is still a problem that players have with SE/CBU3.
