People who use addons are so apparent...

[TheRealMadruck]

(My replies will be at bottom of this post for those I feel need addressed)
A few notes before I say my peace:
1.This is not a troll post nor is it a accusation on any specific player or group.
2. I know that a segment of the FF14 community who will be sensitive to this opinion may post negatively of me. Feel free, but it does not disregard my opinion.
3. Yes, I know a ton of posts like this from the past exists but I still feel I have to speak out.

So after doing a certain bit of content that has been out less than a week, I had noticed how almost 80% of the random players in my instance moving even before the prompt for the next aoe was even going to cast.
And the funniest thing of it all was how half of those players all got their mapping alerts for being their first time in a instance.
I have heard all the excuses...SE rehashes old mechs...I watched a tutorial several times before coming...my friend was prompting me(this one I found to be even more telling since I was wondering what they were implying).

Guys...if you going to use addons...don't make it so abundantly apparent. And any who claim what I saw was just my imagination...please sell that bridge somewhere else.

Point: I never thought the addons problem would be so massive as what I saw today. Do as you will but in my opinion, it is sad!

No one is going to make addons for dungeon content. It's far too easy and not worth the time to code the addon or download it as a user.

When did I say the content that I ran was a dungeon?

Wish I could upvote this twice. I agree. Thanks for the opinion OP. You wanna say your piece and thus you did.

Cheaters are gonna cheat.
Hopefully one day the honeypot overflows and SE stops them.

I believe they're referring to the new EX.

I believe they're referring to the new EX.

They talked about mapping achievements.

Thats either the 24man or a dungeon. EX fights don't have mapping achieves.

Fun fact.

When someone start with "This is not a troll post", it usually is.

The new EX has set safe spots for the majority of the puzzle. There's even some you can do immediately without thinking. For example, the second "puzzle" is ALWAYS opposite of where the V starts. Every single time.

Yeah, all of the puzzles have a really simple "rule (youtube video of the new EX)" to follow, for most you can find the safe spots almost instantly.
