Another plugin feature being added to the game official (Job Icons)

You'd think players would rejoice, especially those who used the mods. Alas, no. Devs apparently can't get do right here either.

I seem to remember Yoshi specifically stating that they were looking into adding some of the mods players were using into the game that made sense in order to improve gameplay. Lo and behold they do it, and now they catch flack for banning players who were supposedly using those same mods.

I remember an episode of South Park where the kids gang up on Cartman and nab all of his PC equipment and destroy it right in front him in a quasi-blanket party fashion. That is exactly what I feel like doing to all these modders.

I think my only complaint on SE's side was punishing that one JP player for using the mod that added timers to buffs/debuffs on the party frames and then adding the feature into the game. That could have been handled better. Otherwise I only see it as a positive to add QoL features.

I'm not without sympathy and I get the frustration associated with such decisions by the dev team. However, I'm also a console player and have never had access to mods of any kind whether or not I would use them or would find them interesting. I am simply of the mind that everyone should have the same access to the same things, making third party tools and mods strictly a no go regardless if they are benign or malicious in design. Now that everyone has access to view the party's buff/debuff timers and is supported by the dev team, I have zero issue with this feature.
