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

I think they mean the 'expansion gimmick' style content being removed. Legendary weapon grind is something recent like that I heard? Where for an expansion every class had same weapon and had basically to grind to empower that and in next expansion whole feature was pertty much gone. I imagine unless Blizaard changes their course, whatever expansion gimmick there is this time will only exist for this expansion and never again. FF14 does have some 'left behind' features that didnt get updates in expansions that followed (or did but sparingly) but doesnt truly remove them ever, and you can always just go back and do that. I think some pvp content for that regard is the only exception.

Oh that's fair if true. I never bothered to go back to old zones to check if the special gear grinding stuff was still active.

There are some 3rd party programs that actually improve features that people have asked for for years
Like a motion sickness camera & settings add-on that isn't even in the game.
There are some in-game work arounds but they hardly help.

I do not want an anti-cheat rootkit digging around my PC.

A good way to keep people from cheating is just punish them- take away their rewards & prestige when caught & enact perma bans.

EAC will sit there and run in the background even when the game it's associated with isn't on. There's no telling what all that thing is actually looking for. Most other anti-cheats are much the same. No matter what type of anti-cheat they opted for, I'd definitely be peacing out the second it got announced.

Ok, so let's break this down, you can only use mods if your on pc master race, I'm a console peasent so I can't use them, even If I wanted to use the harmless mods you describe, or if I was colour blind, can't use mods on console unless it's implemented by square.
Second, all mods are banned, no excuses, no exceptions, look at the last statement from yoshida.
So in admitting you use any kind of mod, independent of circumstances you are breaking the rules and should be banned.
Remember you are paying for a service and agreed to the TOS, you have no rights.
Third get down from your high horse pc master race, stop using banned tools ( all of them are banned ) and start flooding the forums with your requests.
Learn Japanese and go to that part of the forum and make your request there to gain more momentum.
I honestly wish that everyone that uses mods was banned at the same time. If there was noone left to play besides console players , that would still be fine with me.

Shhh. Nobody tell them third-party tools exist for console players as well.

Let me rephrase, ps5 peasent, not hackable ps4... There's still mods???

Yes, there are in fact ways to make use of third-party tools from a PS5. You would be correct were you to assume the practice is less common on consoles, however. One has to jump through a few extra hoops to get it done.

I don't buy that child.....

I'm far and away from being a child, sir. I haven't been a child for 20+ years. I'd like to say that I'm older than you based on what I've seen, but age =/= maturity, sadly.

[Jybril]

I'm tellin' ya'll,
You keep on pushing the devs buttons and it's gonna happen.
The moment they do that this games going to hell instantly lmao.

[solimiano]

Like I stated before, not something I'm interested in, in fact Sony should partner with square and block that shit, and ban anyone using it from PSN as well.
You want a feature request if from the Devs, dont get what you want tough luck, maybe go play something else
