Third party tools are so much worse than I ever imagined. I am desperately begging for Square Enix to help. This is so much worse than I thought. This is so beyond over the line what I've seen. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

You probably haven’t seen or heard of barely anything yet. Hold onto your glutes solid snake because this is about to get hella messy really fast. It is my heartfelt hope that square enix does something against the frankly outrageous rampant hacking and botting I am going to talk about in this video because this genuinely will dismantle this game if allowed to fester. You thought showing a DPS tool on stream was bad? That doesn’t hold a candle to what I’ve unfortunately now seen.

To be clear, all third party tools are explicitly against the terms of service so don’t use them and I outright discourage their use and no names of these tools will be given. Bans have been issued for tool usage already.

So as a player of this game for a decade, who loves this game, I’m making this video more as a cry out for help than anything else. I expect this video to honestly do poorly and get a thousand views if lucky since we have people somehow still blasting out posts about parsing tools which are the lowest of all my concerns. But I love final fantasy 14 and this needs to be spoken about.



Hey guy’s it’s yo boi evyx.

So people have been getting banned for user interface addons and the like because third party tools are against the terms of service. Not my place to say whether this is valid or not, I’m a very simple basic boring guy who the heck am I to say I don’t think I myself or my opinion is that important. However User interface addons are nothing compared to the world of absolute degeneracy I’ve unfortunately been subjected to because for both better and worse yes I really do read my youtube comments, twitter and discord direct messages.

This lead me to reddit posts, multiple websites, video demonstrations, brand new video commentary and much more-- of which I am of course not going to say the name of any of these third party tools.

To be frank, if you use these I genuinely think you’re destroying the game.

Let’s start off lightly, one reddit post was a one button macro for both summoner and dragoon where the poster actually clearly demonstrates that it’s highly effective and results in extremely high top end parses. Which to be frank I find demoralizing to see as someone who loves both dragoon and summoner-- in case anyone forgot I am that guy that did that over 1 hour in depth guide to shadowbringers summoner with over 100 and so yeah I find that really demoralizing to see someone boil it down to spamming a single button nonstop to great effect.

What if I told you that there are tools to show telegraphs on boss attacks? Yeah that gif that was flying around twitter. That is outrageous and impossible right? Must be falsified? Apparently that isn’t the case. To my horror there are multiple packages that can be combined together to completely show all telegraphs, other addons that can do callouts to exact locations which this creator stated was not properly set up on their end and much more.

So in what world is this okay? How is this not insane and why is no one speaking up about this?
So this creator demonstrated on P1S that they can stop pressing any rotational buttons, including potions, be shown telegraphs and spoon fed information on where to exactly go step by step mechanic by mechanic, and no not just callouts that a raid leader can issue-- this goes way beyond that. This all combined together to trivialize the content and landed them with an 84th percentile parse.

I don’t know how anyone could turn a blind eye to this and not be frustrated. This genuinely made me upset to see.

That isn’t even getting into the absolute torrential downpour of bots to bot prettymuch anything and everything. MSQ? Botted. Marketboards? Botted. And to be clear the marketboard bots makes a lot of sense-- on Gilgamesh
