The entire discussion also has to factor in texture/model swapping, tools like XIVAlex and the straight botting/cheating that's still present in this game. They added a new PvP mode and within a week people were openly distributing cheats via Discord. It's pretty absurd that you can cheat that easily in the one game mode where cheating becomes the most obvious.
Their mistake was enabling the use of plugins in the first place, this was bound to get out of control at some point. Unfortunately the few rotten apples spoil the bunch so either accept and move on or keep crying about it on the forums instead of playing the game.
Ultimately it's your choice.
