Third party tools are a game design failing in a multi-platform game

[Johners]

They should've worked on improving things like UI since long time ago. Then people wouldn't have to use plugins to get QoL changes.

I'm aware that some quality of life changes are needed and Yoshi-P has said this himself. That said, what exactly should they do? You might be using 5 QoL UI plugins but someone else is using 10 and another is using 7. Even when they make the necessary changes, they're not going to please everybody and the cycle will continue unless they also introduce mechanisms to stop these tools from working. There is still an underlying problem is some users not wanting due to ToS risks or simply not being able to use these tools and that's a game design problem in a cross-platform title.

That is SE's problem to solve. They are so slow on implementing things people need in the game. It took them up to 6.1 to finally add [Obtained\Unobtained] status on items. I think it's pretty ridiculous.

Ui is a huge improvement on that ageing dionsaur they use in WOW

A parser isnt QOL at all..its a tool misused and abused to berate, harass and discriminate against players. Personally Id like to see parsers under a blanket ban. You dont need them to run content and people clear content w/out them easily.

No one is talking about parsers. Who hurt you?
