How many of us use windowers? I assume quite a number. We all 'cheat' in our own way, using a windower is somewhat cheating in a sense that it allows you to look up stuff online while you're on FFXI (assuming you don't have a second computer), as well as the added fact the windower now has built in 'plug-ins' so you can see party member's tp lol. Also then there are other things, like.. swapping .dat files, and generally other .dat mods (such as replaceing names of NM placeholders? I'm not entirely sure,haven't looked into it).
There's been so many debates as to whether or not the use of windower programs are considered "cheats".
If you think about it, windower doesn't really affect anything in-game at all. All it does is provide a more user-friendly interface for the player. There's other online games that allow their games to be windowed. If you ask me, SE is just being **** in that regard.
Also, swapping files doesn't really affect anything either. All that does is change the looks of objects and characters in-game. The only person that can see the changes is the player that changed them, since the change was made on their PC only.
EDIT: I just found out about the .dat file cheat with that treasure chest mini-game. Sounds like an easy fix if you ask me. All SE has to do is something like they did for the darter files in Fafnir's lair.
