But being able to zoom in to take care around pixels in games would give the user of the module a much greater advantage than those who don't know about the module, and we shouldn't be encouraging everyone to get modules to play the game on an equal playing field, we should be discouraging modules that give users advantages over others and we should be mastering the original options this game gives us inherently.
The module only has to send a message notifying that the person is using it. It's up to the other player to also use or refuse to play with the other person.
It shouldn't even get to that, it should be banned from league schemes because of the advantage it can give a player to win a game verse those not used it. If both players agree it still shouldn't be allowed because its like allow both players to cheat. That shouldn't make it legal.
All these modules you are advocating for are to help you win games outside of the defined official programming of the game. Therefore it's a cheat.
Pretty much this, but with a certain twist I want to mention. I whole heartedly advocate what Albus is saying because I find this very useful - as well as a mean to better understand certain techniques - however... There's a fair chunk of skill in official games involving mine hats and such, and a module would be detrimental in that regard since you're overwhelmingly simplifying the mechanic, that's undeniable. I'm 120% ok with it being implemented for funners and I actually encourage it just like Albus suggested (i.e. with a module akin to /arrows which notifies the players of it being used) BUT not on clanners, cups, leagues, etc. And at this point, we should address the pink elephant in the room. Windows' Magnifying Glass exists and it has been confirmed to be used by professionals too (i.e. Albus and Dario for example, although I bet none of them constantly rely upon it) - and that means that a way to achieve that, already exists to begin with. So it's not a matter of cheating or not anymore. You may disagree with the thing being officialized and popularized, but you can't stop the idea behind it, which is already "implemented" anyway, albeit in a primitive yet 90% of times effective way. So, ironically, not making this module would greatly benefit those who use the Magnifying Glass at the expense of those who don't know about it, yet, making it public would be a fair ground to everyone but at the cost of noobifying the game. Again, funners-wise that's a non-issue, however, it shouldn't even exist in official games... It's a complex topic and no matter how the devs will move about this - even if they choose to not choose - they're still making a bad decision if one thinks about it thoroughly and analytically.
