I think you hit the nail on the head early on in the video. The game from 3.0 to now removed many many layers of complexity or reasons that made the game much harder back then. Adding one or two of them back, or adding a small new level of complexity wont instantly brings us back to 3.0, but that seems to be YoshiP's outlook on it.

i dont think the game needs cactbot or act to to be playble or fun. however, i dont think SE should continue to stand against 3rd party software. cause the more they protest about it but not actually do anything the less serious they seem. Also the second they start taking action against the raiders using that software how long before the outrage makes them have to target casuals using Mare and the like? a large part of the enjoyment of the game for alot of people is enhaced by addons maybe its time they stop wagging their finger and find a new fight.

THATS THE whOLE REASON WHY THEY ARE ON THE FENCE. They can't just target one section of the 3rd party use because it opens a slippery slope on 'waht is allowed and what isn't.. If they target act and cactbot, those attacked will complain about mare since it is also 3rd party. Either they are fully against, or they are on the fence. Being on the fence lets people with mare and cosmetic addons to thrive while allowing a necessary evil like act and cactbot. At least this way, the game wont turn into WoW where you literally cannot raid higher difficulties without DBM.

Their stance on 3rd party is pretty clearly analogous to speeding. Damn near everyone does it and so long as you aren't being blatant about it, nobody cares, not even cops. The moment you flaunt it (or a cop needs to go fishing), then you're done. You're getting pulled over, being issued a citation, and the cops will tell you not to do it again. It's why Yoshi-P issues a blanket statement about 3rd party tools: it's his job so he has to say it the same way a cop has to tell you not to speed. He can't exactly tell you go out there and break TOS so there's his lip service to it every other interview. And yeah, it really isn't all that important to them I think. Like, I might be wrong, but the only time I hear the ban hammer drops for 3rd party tools is when someone is dumb enough to have it out there on the internet. But realistically how much more important should it be? I don't think that means they'll ever create a white/blacklist of what is and isn't allowed because tech moves too fast and it is a pandora's box of testing. Is the shiny "xyz" not allowed or has the list just not been updated? What criteria are used for allowing a tool? Can a tool be updated to meet the criteria? Who vets these programs? How well do they vet them? The list goes on and on and on... And allowing all 3rd party tools might open them up to being seen as endorsing adult content or copyright infringement which I 'm sure they don't want either. At the end of the day, "no 3rd party" is good enough and I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill.

I think YoshiP still needs to constantly say addons are bad whenver possible. Back in the day people were under the impression that addons were a "don't ask, don't tell" type situation that was officially not okay but were still okay to use. Then some streamers started getting caught and people were surprised that you could get in trouble for it. I think them re-iterating it is good to remind old players and tell new players that SE's stance is that they're all bad and are not allowed. Though I do agree with you that they should be taking more pro-active measures to punishing people that get found out
@nebula88513 күн бұрын
3 simple answers: 1. Stop making Ultimate mechanics that all but NEED automarkers in PF. Seriously, automarkers outside of Titan Gaols were only normalised because TOP actively encouraged their use. Anyone remember the Forbidden Purgation Markers where the devs were literally too nearsighted to predict the possibility of a Purgation strat that used the full transformed arena? 2. Cactbot's biggest 'use' is for memory/recall mechanics. Any dumbass can pay attention to a tell or learn a strat to the point of it being muscle memory, but when the game deliberately delays resolving a mechanic, then layers in an entire-ass mechanic, THEN the first mechanic resolves, is it any wonder a glorified memory trigger helps? Heck, I'd probably use Cactbot just for BS like Fourfold Fires Stack/Spread, because trying to remember the initial stack/spread, plus the Fourfold positions, plus the visual tells for the puddles, was a pain in the ass. That's one of the few times a dedicated shot caller can and DOES give static raid groups an inherent advantage over PF warriors. 3. Arcadion being comfy was a godsend, and a well-deserved break for raiders after the hellscape that was DSR into Abyssos into TOP into Anabaseios. Throw the raiders a bone now and then with an easy tier or an easy final fight, or an Ultimate that doesn't make the previous one look like a joke. Trying to arms-race the third-party tools doesn't work, it's just far better for the game to make them redundant. Heck, this even goes for non-raiding tools too. Give the countdown timer a millisecond option, and EngageTimer becomes worthless. Make it less clunky to change MB listing prices, and the plogon for that loses value. Most non-cosmetic plogons are purely QoL options the game SHOULD have as standard, nothing more.

I retrieved my account back and changed the password, but my account has already been banned because of the hacker. I attempted to get my account unbanned multiple times, but EA still considers that I am a cheater, when it was the hacker who cheated on my account. So in the case for XIV, if this same situation happened, and I appealed when I did not cheat, they would permaban but despite my innocence.
