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

Console players don't need ACT. You just need one person in the group that runs it.

So content does require at least one PC player then, such that a static with only console players cannot clear endgame content. This still seems problematic from Sony’s perspective at the very least, since their platform isn’t equal to a PC. The suits thus have a strong financial motive to undermine the “PC Master Race” by enforcing platform equality and banning add-ons. This isn’t good for the master race.

but as per usual of this forum people who never touch the content think they understand how it works, but they just don’t.

Very true. ACT is the bread and butter of Final Fantasy XIV, and if you don’t watch your colors and numbers on a third-party site, are you really raiding?

Also, do we know if Square Enix has any plans to acquire FFLogs and ACT since they’re essentially required to play the content? Otherwise, those services could shut down or have issues and render a lot of FFXIV’s core content unplayable.
