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

I personally don't care about privacy or your performance if it means everyone is on the same level

Absolute Clown Statement, I'm Sorry.

One of the main reasons I quit Valorant was because of their invasive anti-cheat. If SE implements anything close to that then I'm quitting.

Yet you are comfortable installing "free" software add ons, as if there is no worry about viruses or rootkits there. Ah the third party crowd, this game may as well be dead now.

Almost all plugins are open source, their code is readily available on github. You can go read it for yourself, If they shipped with a virus then everyone would know. If you have 0 idea of what you're talking about, you probably should not.

If anything I'd go so far as to say that they're safer to run than the game itself, since the game is not open-source, you have no idea what SE could be running in the background.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, we don't need people that use third party add-ons

Or they could implement the good add-ons as part of the official game and leave all the cheats out.
Instead of asking to be able to use mods, ask them to turn some mods part of the official build, then ban everyone still using third party add-ons, cause after that they are only using them to cheat.
Ask for the right thing not the wrong one.

They just need to implement the improvements people have asked for that I know of folks who use them currently as 3rd party tools- they are:
Motion sickness camera; xyz axis placement for housing, inventory search, mass sell/ delete/desynth items, closing 1 crafting window doesn't close the rest, targeting nearest enemy(you can kind of do this already, but it's not fool proof- it's in the menu settings in game) and speech bubbles

These would be QoL improvements that people have asked since 2.0 for many of these & they have fallen on deaf ears.

But anything else imo is for the birds
cheaters need to be perma-banned. Also, if yoshi-p and his team can clear the ultimate without add-ons then the people trying to clear with add-ons should be ashamed

I don't get it, why do you guys hate plugins so much? And I'm not talking about the stuff that helps you cheat in raiding, etc - Screw those quite frankly, but there's so many QoL plugins that make the game playable, heck I know many ppl who won't touch the game until the QoL plugins are back-up. It would be cool if SE implemented them in-game, but they won't, they barely bring anything these days. These plugins don't effect you in any-way, they just make many unbearable things in this game bearable.

Yep, exactly. It is a rather silly argument to make. Snowden did us all a solid, whether people realize this or not.

And I'm all for that, make 10000 petitions to implement qol and I'll sign all of them, so will most of this forum, and word of mouth can be spread ingame trough fc's, friends, etc.
On the other hand every single add-on that you can consider cheating should be met with a perm ban from PSN, steam and all further purchases related to square.
But untill that day arrives, all mods are illegal...

You clearly didn't, you just made blanket statements like "EVERYONE should improve then!" that are completely ignoring the actual question and make it seem as if you got it but you didn't.
Tell me: if you have a few people that perform really well and a few who don't and together they're not enough to beat the boss. How fair is it to tell the group that everyone needs to improve? Because you're telling the good players that are already pulling their weight the exact same, unfiltered thing as the bad players who are currently holding the group back.
Do you get it now?

Same as the point about how rotations are even made in the first place - not by feelycrafting your way through with "probably just uncomfortable". My point (the one you didn't get) was that everyone who ever looked up rotations either directly from Balance or from guides that copied them (which... pretty much every guide does) indirectly profits from ACT and relies on it in a way.
It's just that not everyone has the balls to admit it and prefer to live in their little fairy world where they are above such dirty things as parsers.

But by all means, keep trying to make it about "epeen" when I never mentioned that in any way. Maybe it helps you sleep at night, who knows.

Calling me "dear" already? I didn't know you liked me so much by the way.

Fair by telling people pulling their weight to improve??? LOL what delusional world do you live in dear, EVEN if you are pulling your weight that does not mean there is not room improvements and you think that is unfair??? Complacency is that of the weak willed and the weak. Also you never know when you will need to pull more than just your weight to get a kill, Not everything is in your control so constant pushing to improve is something really most do, those who don't are a pain and will eventually be the hinderance to others you claim you can't predict suddenly a DPS internet randomly shits the bed but if your MAXIMUM you desire is pulling your weight then you will fail because your interest are just self sufficient and not enough to compensate for rare circumstances or emergencies when called up you should always strive to do the best no matter how unachievable it is, Also feelcrafty LOL most this rotation is common sense you don't need ACT for majority of it or Balance tips of keep your dots up, Always be casting these should be no brainers, ACT will help with some things like CD usage timers and Bard songs the exact optimal order to play them that im sure would be debated and i can agree ACT does help you know which would be best.

Also dear isn't ment as liking you is just a word here in the deep south but i must go get my child from school now so have a good weekend dear
