Re: Cheating and Stuff
I wasn't too worried about the windower being cheating until the scripts that people could just add in on their own became common. Yes, the party TP and distance plug-ins are obvious unfair advantages. But the scripts just get worse, since they allowed the creation of simple bots.

I personally have no problem with the blood pact timer, even when it did work. If they had added /recast "Blood Pact" while you don't have an avatar out (which I don't believe is too much to ask), it wouldn't even be needed.

Being able to see party member's TP without them telling you... This one is questionable. I personaly use it, but I don't rely on it for anything. I report my TP when I'm at 100%, or when somebody else reports their TP as being 100% and I'm not there yet.

Distance is questionable also. This one can be used for more than just helping your party, so I'd say it's worse than the TP party plug-in. It's moderately useful... Although if you play your job long enough, you don't need it. It's nothing major though.

DrawDistance/IME plugin/clock/exp watch - Meh. I don't use any of these, but they're not harmful plug-ins either.

Dat Swapping...I have to take Sevenpointflaw's stance on. How you want to make your character look on your screen is your business. However when it actually gives you an advantage, it gets much more questionable. I'm against swapping chests with something else, so you don't get mimics. I'm really against swapping out darters so you can't target them and misclaim on fafnir/nidhogg.

Flee Bot/Pos. hacking/all other generic bots - I'm against these, obviously. What I do find funny is how people justify these.
Taken from a screenshot of some FFXI bot forum:
"i am the laziest person ever now lol.. i never go anywhere the right way.. for fafnir camps i op warp to zitah and then jump and zone straight to aery, i havent ran through boyahda in so longg haha..."

Totally not an unfair advantage here! Nope. None at all. Nadda... *cough* That's just sad. Other people talk about how everything in the game is so slow. One even talks about how he got banned for fleehacking once, but he got another account and still does it. ._.
