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

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.
