For me, tools are not a bad thing, just what other has said, it makes playing easier and less interactive (since you can literally play and go to other places if you don't feel like staying at one tab at all.)

But before I can play the game with tools, I did 2 events (winter and Spring 2015) without any viewers at all. All in all, I can clearly say that playing with viewers makes life easier like checking what are the expeds to arrive, checking the status of your bw1 and bw4 (which is pretty tiresome to check at times) and seeing the drop (though sometimes, it really kills your excitement). All in all, if you want the excitement of not seeing anything (in short playing slightly blind), you can actually play it with no tools. and if you want to play it easy (and what Ikta Solork would say "Living an easy life.") you can use viewers and play it easy and know the future so you can plan ahead.

All in all, these tools should be considered as somthing neutral and it only becomes something good or bad depending on the people who uses it (though there are some tools that might ban you like botting the game), It really is on someone's discretion on how dependent you can be to the tools. If you ask me, I can play both with or without tools, but if I have to plan ahead... The usage of tools is necessary.
