Creating this this prejudice that raiders on average by default abuse them. Even though there 20.000 online active Mare users, Millions of non Combat mods/plugins and files downloaded... and yet Square addresses mostly 1st World Raiders of which represents at best 0.01% of the Total player-base and a fraction of all raiders. Heck the 1000 Lalafell bots underneath the Aetherytes are treated with less malice by the community and Square then the Raiders... " who don't even use Third party tools ", let alone with.

Though I never said Raiders are the only once to get attention out of everyone. The way I meant my phrasing to be taken was " mostly ". But thank you for the history lesson. I'm sure they all got their just banned/suspensions/punishments including the Balmung Billboard players like the Ultimate players did who cheated.

TLDR: Usage of Third Party tools breaks Square's rules regardless of what type you use. Cheating = Cheating. And until I see Square themselves treat it as such equally across the board? I'll spare no indignation crusades/ opinions.
There is a big difference between aesthetic mods and gameplay mods.
