Again the person I was replying to was very see the world burn about it which is again pretty stupid of a take.

mods are against TOS but square has done sweet FA to stop them from doing it. if Plug ins was an issue it should have been nipped at the bud
but square ignored it, not a smart moves and even getting rid of them wouldn't be smart because it is open that square takes note of mods that add QOL to the game banning the original mod creators... speech bubbles it was a mod, the improvements made to gpose mode... mods among many other things.

in before you gonna spout any more nonsense numbers

all data from the dev itself:

270k registered users
130k were active in the last 30 days
daily average between 10k to 25k
all time high 35k


just wondering are you gonna tell us that FF14 has 40 Million active players next? lol

As ever fight club rules and we wouldn't have an issue, shame so many people have no self control and wanna plaster their modded tarts all over social media :))

What's funny is I've noticed on my server last night, a Saturday, that the players just bebopping around Limsa are more commonly wearing skimpy gear, using what's available in game. Those 2B pants have returned as the game's most popular glam and people are doing suggestive things with emotes. RP club shouts were rolling faster than usual and the crowd was enormous in the plaza.

There is no gooner exodus unsubbed. They got creative and went back to business as usual. Game's gonna be fine.

I can't say for everyone but I'll be honest - as someone who's interest in RP, modding taking such a big prevalence in venues is what actually turned me off of it in the past years, because nearly every event ad I've seen went with a silent expectation that you'll join the mare syncshell.

FF14 might be not perfect when it comes to glamour and customization, but there're plenty of options even with that in mind, and I wasn't interested in installing 3rd party tools to see other people characters' look like they're not even from FF14. That, plus it felt like people had put more attention into flashing their fancy mods than into actual interactions with other people.

If mare being gone means that RP stage will turn back to vanilla at least in some capacity, I'll take it as a win and probably will dip into role-playing again.

You said 40 million active players not me.

Dev said 270k users so lets say of the 130k active if just 20k of the 130k left and we're lowballing it Square lost 300k in user subscriptions they do not want to lose any money.

Will say it without numbers so you can understand. Plug in users are part of XIV community quite a few in fact, Square let them become large as they are. If some of that large part leaves the game because the exp is watered down for them square is not a happy camper. It's why we got that letter from the producer after the fact.

Me saying the greedy corporate game company doesn't want to lose money being nonsense to you is quite entertaining.

but guess you got me with the strawman at the end, congratulations little lady. very well done.

I love this statement and I completely agree. Mods doesn’t hurt anyone if its kept private, and he even said he dont mind mods.

As a returning player from pc to console i will say that using mods made my game better bc of my character customization and i just used to like quality of life mods im thankful that SE didn't shut down all mods for the players who still use them keep it up i miss using them and i will forever be a supporter of mods and quality of life mods <3
