Is using gaming software really not allowed anymore?

[Jin-]

Yes we all need to become peasants now so we don't have any QoL advantage from the superior platform.

Not really, you can still use them. Just be quiet about it

After reading this Final Fantasy XIV Regarding Third-party Tools news post about Third-party Tools, if i did read correctly the "Defining Third Party Tools" part of the post.

Does it really mean that i can't use gaming software like Logitech G Hub to bind CTRL + [number] key press for my Logitech G600 MMO mouse G buttons and Corsair iCUE to bind Alt + [number] key press for my Corsair K95 G keys to able to press CTRL + [number] and Alt + [number] more easily without needing to always to look the keyboard to press right CTRL + [number] or Alt + [number] key combination?

If it really means that, then i'm i really in trouble now for using them for while?

None of the tools you are talking about is interacting with the game client or files or data. They are not FFXIV third party tools.

They absolutely interact with the game. Using a keyboard macro tool to record a loop that tab targets a house placard and tries to bid on it every 5 seconds is a botting activity.

Yeah nice logic, since people are saying that you should be banned from using logitch or any keyboard-mouse software, why not ban also geforce experience? maybe even ban windows users because you have services running on background.

Seriously mod/addons players got cracked hard this time.

I'm not pushing an agenda here. I'm just telling you it is what it is. Yes Geforce Experience can alter the appearance of the game as well. You can run wild with this information.

If you want my opinion on the matter the statement pushed by SE is really vague.

Yep. A lot of people might think that you and others (including myself) are being disingenuous about this, but SE decided to muddy the waters quite a bit. Do I think that Nvidia and AMD driver software will result in a ban? Not really, no. But we can't be 100% sure of anything right now. That's the entire point. We don't know.

Everyone who bought the game on steam will be banned? Because steam overlay is a 3rd party tool...
