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

[Iyrnthota]

client receives update that scans computer for addons.

Stop, please, I'm dying

?????? It's a good thing you will never reach qualification.

No I'm actually serious. If you're not a troll, you may need medical help. I get being passionate about stupid stuff, but what you're doing is not that. You're throwing fanatical rants one after another, speaking about your superiority over people who commits the crime of disagreeing with you (which you literally call sub-human). This goes way beyond the scope of this debate, your posts tell me you are severly lacking perspective.
Yes, Square Enix is perfectly justified of banning you if you break their ToS, it's part of the contract. But telling people that their worth as a human being depends on their adherance to a set of rules which are mostly designed to protect Square Enix as a gaming company, not the players, is just weird. We're not talking about Human Rights or Civil Law voted by elected individuals here, remember?

Yes the company who is on the stockmarket will totally do something that would deeply affect their stock and ruin their profits and what MMOs care most about, activity.

No matter what side you are on, it is silly to believe that SE would actually implement anything and literally ruin the one thing that made XIV big in the first place, the free advertisement on all the social media platforms. Which is mostly thanks to, if we like it or not, all the creative folks out there who use mods be it for job guides, roleplay, housing or gpose. SE gets free advertisement through their playerbase of which other companies can dream off.

To think that they would kill their stock and profits and thus forsake their NFT ventures just cause some fellas cheated in the latest content is at best delusional. Not to mention that anti cheat doesn't do anything if you really want to cheat.

Always remember: Money > Integrity > Playerbase

How is it "fraudulent"??? You don't even know waht that word means. If I am in a parse after asking the party to let me know if they are using addons, it means they didn't respect my experience the way you people suggest you would. I'm not sure how you would exactly go about respectfully using addons because, you don't ask if it's okay because that would result in you being banned. You don't let others know you are using addons if you are asked, because that would result in you getting banned.

The only way for me to get you actioned is to report all the people present in the parse excluding myself. Then square enix will have to do an investigation and either do nothing, or ban the people breaking the ToS. The fact is at least one of the people reported should be banned according the rules. There's no reason to not mass report everyone on fflogs by this logic, but I'm only going to do it for the people who end up parsing me after I ask for them to respectfully leave group or turn off addons for the run they are involving me in.

Imagine twisting dialogue and pretending you're on the side of righteousness by throwing around words you don't even understand. It's a tricky issue to tackle because you cheaters are so sneaky and dishonest about it. If it is annoying enough for square enix to deal with the mass reporting, maybe they will have to step up their policy.

If you report everyone from that group you are automatically reporting atleast 6 people where you know they didnt upload that log. Unless you think that everyone in that party is equally at fault and want them all banned. But in that case you would be banned aswell. Have to make sure we get the correct person afterall, right?

Some serious delusional stuff

If I had to decide between giving modders free rein of the game and inflexible and intolerant people like you, then I would choose the former 100/100 times.

[Absimiliard]

Man, this thread seems to have lost at least a couple pages worth of posts since last night, although the difference seems to have been made up by additional posts.

Funny, it looks like the posts being removed are mostly those of people going full mental ward in their persecution of "cheaters."

[Midareyukki]

So how would I single out the rule breaker then?

You can always go back to WoW, because throwing insults at people is also against our ToS but you keep calling others stuff.

Anyway, you want Rule Breaker, here u go

I think nobody in the history of this forum needs to touch grass more than you do.

LMAO

I mean, actual LMAO IRL

Can we please stop treating WoW like the garbage bin for unsavory folks like them? We don't want them over there either. How about they just don't infest any MMO community?
(Also, the WoW forum is actually very civil. More civil than this one at times)
