Never, it should never be done and anyone who uses these should know they are throwing off the balance of the fights on purpose so they can get easier clears.

If it feels too easy it's 100% on them for installing tools that trivialize mechanics and parts of the difficulty.
Well im playing on console, my static is not using SIM and I find FRU very easy compared to DSR/TOP

What I really want is very hard encounter, and since I see a lot of people using SIM, it will be good if SE balance HL content around those using SIM, so yeah the """difficulty""" will be much harder for vanilla players, and it will be the same for SIM users
