You people keep saying stuff like "why does it matter what anyone else does or how they got their loot?" because prestige depends on legitimacy.
What you are doing here, essentially, is arbitrarily accusing every world first, and indeed every raider to have ever completed Ultimates, of "cheating" without having any way to prove it. Stripping away those weapons without proof is a surefire way to kill what few Ultimate teams there are out there. Besides, even if they are utilizing third-party tools, exactly how does this make their achievements unfair if darned near everyone else in the raiding community is also using or benefitting from them?

What you are failing to consider is that players rely on tools like ACT telling them their numbers so they can determine the correct way to play and gear their jobs. At present, endgame content is tuned in such a way that not having access to this information would in fact make it virtually, if not impossible to complete. Even players that do not themselves run ACT are almost always grouped with people that do, and thus they are able to see their numbers when they get uploaded to FFlogs. The theorycrafters that provide us with so much information about rotations and stat weights are also highly reliant on tools like ACT.

Additionally, I would note that all player data gathered by ACT is already available via combat log if you want to spend twelve years sorting it out and doing absurd amounts of math.
