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

Dunno tbh. If you watch a bunch of those clip compilation videos of streamers getting busted cheating you'll see some that paid for the cheat programs they were using because they still have the receipt in their email inbox lol.

Paid cheats happen in every online game that is successful. It is illegal everywhere and square enix can legally attack anyone distributing the mods. Maybe yoshi-p says he is against stuff like ACT but actually uses it all after all. It's weird how deep the "dont ask dont tell" effect goes. This game is a joke. The people who play it are extremely dishonest and fake. It's all just a front you put on to avoid being actioned. When rules basically don't exist as long as you don't talk about breaking them, they might as well not exist at all.

This game sucks so bad and for all the wrong reasons, because it is a better game than anything else on the market if you were to exclude this issue from your judgment of it. It's to the point where I am inclined to log in for the remainder of my cancelled sub, ask people if they are modding in raid content, and report them over and over. If I show up on any parse, I will report all 7 people in the group. Then they will find out who actually parsed it and ban them.

There's no excuse for this. I paid money to play a game that has "strict" rules over addons, and now I learn that the rules are fake. What a joke. Shame on this playerbase.
