Would you be opposed to SE implementing a program to scan for addons/parsers?

This mentality is actually going to kill the game. You think that it's about money, but it's really about success and legitimacy. MMOs can just die. You cheaters are killing this mmo.

Am I though? What are you people going to do when the only ones left playing the game are modders and then the mod community takes things too far? Square enix disables mods, all the parsers quit, and then what? Nobody is left.

You're creating a community that is dependent on unsupported third party addons that are against the ToS. If they stop respecting the legit player and only pander to addon abusers, guess what? It's not sustainable and it's likely to blow up in their faces. Legitimate players should always be valued above the cheaters and rule breakers. They are the ones that will support the game as is. They don't hold the developers hostage by saying things like "we will all quit if you disable parsing and ACT."

They just enjoy the game. You people are killing it for the demographic that actually matters, and square enix will lose if they continue to support your side.

Fact is, I cancelled my sub over the omega stink, and I'm definitely not alone. Fair play matters a lot to certain types of people.

This game is not good enough, and not regularly updated enough for them to get away with this. It's not that successful. It's mediocre at best.

at this point you need to just stop coming on the forums or something. You coming off as a unhinge individual at this point. And since you are leaving have good one and hope you find a game that does not have mods because a decent amount of games do have mods

Anyway, I think this maaay be a big deal if Yoshida finds out about this drama. Since Gshade was really one of the only few third party programs that can be openly talked about and they have gone on record in the past that them was an exception due to its implementation.

He knows. Oh I guarantee that he knows. That two thing on 3rd party programs on two big communities in a little bit over a week. They're probably accessing the situation. If someone got there stuff stolen or have something malicious done to them and they decide to sue the gshade dev, SQenix could technically get dragged into it.

I should be meditating before my exam but here I am...

There is no "broken world feel." The vast majority of people do not care about this one bit. A small minority is being overly vocal about it, but those same people (yourself included, from what I can tell) keep misrepresenting the facts when making their points.

Heck, even the JP player-base doesn't really care all that much about it, and they're normally the first ones out witch-hunting third-party tool users.

There is though. You can pretend it's not valid because "you don't care", but it is what it is. Prestige doesn't exist in ffxiv. The developers intended for ultimate weapons to carry prestige. You destroy their intention by "not caring." Shame on you.

[Absimiliard]

Precisely. The people with the skill to get the job done simply do not care. The ones whining would never have been able to earn the weapons in the first place. The bloody things look awful anyway, with a handful of exceptions.

Obviously they care. You don't because you used cheats to get them. There is a difference. Even if only one person who earned them honestly cares, they matter more than 99.99999% of the people who "don't care" in your mind.

Nobody here is whining but you, about the scenario where your weapons are permanently confiscated because you know you can't earn them honestly. I don't have any attachment to the idea, I just want to be able to look up to the prestige again. MMO with no prestige might as well be a single player game. I want progress to mean something. This self-indulgent apathetic mentality is killing mmos.
