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

1. First of all, it isn’t only my way of playing the game. The devs of the game clearly don’t want players to use these tools especially in PvE, because they create an unfair advantage. So if somebody clears an Ultimate with these tools and apparently thanks to these tools, they have not cleared the content as intended by the devs. In a sense they’ve cleared something else.

2. Most of the time, what wipes parties in FF is not DPS checks, it is incorrectly solved mechanics or standing in an AoE. Therefore using DPS meters brings no value to the fight. Regarding other tools, like zoom hacks and mechanics solvers / announcements, I stand by my claim that people who need them, are not playing the content as intended and are missing the entire point of high-end content in FF14. Which again, is not about DPS, but about solving mechanics.

Lmao, there are many different ways of playing this game, that's one of the joys of an MMO. There is nothing wrong with people wanting to improve their skill level and ability to perform in the game. And until you pay other peoples' subs, you can get right down off your audacity and arrogance filled high horse telling other people how to play the game. You realize SE knows ACT and FFLogs exists and if they really wanted to, they could nuke them right? Really makes you wonder why they don't.

The absolute arrogance of your posts is amazing to the point between that and the fact that you're yet another account that comes here with a very low post count just indicates you're only here to stir the pot like so many others. You've all come crawling out of the woodwork and it's honestly hilarious.

What has a post count anything to do with what I’m saying? I just rarely post on the forums.

And I’m not talking about different play styles or looking for something different in the game. If people do Ultimates for the gear, fine. If they do them for the challenge and don’t mind the gear, also fine.

All I’m saying is that they shouldn’t cheat their way to whatever they are looking for in that content.

Because if someone uses mechanics-solving / assisting addons to clear an Ultimate while doing it for the gear - they are cheating to get the gear faster.
And if someone uses mechanics-solving / assisting addons to clear an Ultimate but they are only interested in the challenge - they get rid of the true nature of that challenge by cheating with addons.
