Is Square losing Money due to 3rd party tool usage?

If Square's toleration is limitless
Topic of the thread is about third party tools, of which 95% of it are all Non-Combat. You're only addressing 5% of the Raiding tools. Not all Raiders are cheaters nor want to depend on all Third-party tools to force Square to make infinitely more difficult content. They know however what improves the Raiding experience.

Umm ... yes. Because i have more a software developer perspective on this topic. And technically there are no differences between combat- and non-combat 3rd-party-tools. Both 3rd-party-tools pull some data out of the client and maybe inject other data into it. And that is the problem. The game client cannot distinguish between them. And SQEX has made the decision, that using 3rd-party-tools is technically possible.

On one hand they save some money. Because if the modders do the modding work then they do not have to do it. But on the other hand, they have to live with some impacts, the combat 3rd-party-tools create.
