Questions about ToS and Windower

Non-Japanese players, by default, don't have access to the IME interface that allows them to talk in all the funny squiggles we see our friends from the Far East use. In comparison, they're actually able to type English characters, e v e n i f t h e y w i n d u p w e i r d l y s p a c e d o u t. Unfortunately, a non-JP account caught using JP characters risks punishment, because it's obvious they tinkered with the client to do so.

But we do have the option to "install" the IME interface should we want to add that feature

If you have the JP version of the game, you will be able to imput JP text assuming your system is capable of doing so.
Unless these people were lying and just using windower plugins. lol

It's not really that obvious, you can use IME on X360 with an EU account and an EU copy of the game on an EU console with an EU keyboard.
