You're delusional if you think SQEX can't detect ACT

[SeiyaSoiya]

often people believe as long as you don't mention it explicitly in chat, that you cannot get banned for using ACT.

I see a lot of statics simply using it as if it were a necessary tool.

ACT requires admin permissions to run, which is a huge red flag.

It also does not read data from combat log, it requires network permissions to sniff network packets to read data. And the data it cannot read, it just makes it up with an approximation (dot tick damage)

Recently ACT had to be reworked for ffxiv because sqex changed the way they handled network packets, which should be telling

Oh and that goes for your mods too, if you think cosmetic mods are undetectable you are also delusional.

The only reason you are allowed to use all this shit is because sqex allows you to.

Cool, we all had SQE blessings to use mods and ACT for 10 years than?

Okay and ?

The situation is not whether they can or cannot detect it -- But rather they just simply don't care as much as they suggest, or as much as this post suggests to actually deal with it.

Okay, I'm going to do my best to explain this as a stupid westerner who has delved a bit into Japanese culture.

Openly allowing mods is them admitting they left important features out of their game that people need. They will not do this because its losing face. They don't care if you use mods, they care if you make it publicly known that you use mods, because it makes them look like they failed at something.

because it makes them look like they failed at something.

And hoo boy they have failed at a lot of things and don't want to admit it.

Not saying you are right or wrong, but you are saying that they are lying when they say high end content is clearable without 3rd party tools. They may be, but just want to be clear about what you are saying.
