History demonstrates that this theory is false, as third party tool usage has been a part of the game for many raiders since well before Ultimates even existed.

The truth is that there is a culture around using add-ons for MMO raiding, and that culture has affected FF14. Players have never needed add-ons to complete content, but that doesn't stop players from wanting the leg up that add-ons provide. The problem you're describing isn't one of necessity created by the game, it's a problem of culture created by players.
