Re: Regarding the Use of Third-Party Programs and Player Safety

I fully support the use of anticheat and it is long overdue. Anticheat will bring legitimacy back to raiding in this game. If it means the boys can't clear ultimates or savage anymore without their 32 addons helping them then so be it. Square Enix will see a decline in clear rates and adjust encounter difficulty moving forward, and this includes DPS checks.

The problem we have in the game, and this reached its Zenith in TOP, is that square enix calibrates content based upon community clear rates and feedback. If complicated mechanics can be trivialized by third party tools, then Square Enix incorrectly draws the conclusion that those mechanics are easy for the community, so they put in more. Why do you think so many fights have included mechanics that are trivialized by automarkers? SE thinks we're great at marking and sorting people! Except, we're not, at all. We're carried by people who have ACT pluggins.

Anticheat is by far the best thing for this game, and if it causes people to quit because they can't use their lalafell mods or clear base raids then cya, this was in the TOS from the start.

Good argument. It's full of facts.

It won't. Look at Albion Online which does have Kernel level Anti-Cheat, the place is still ridden with cheaters. I'm not going into how they do it here.
