Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

To the OP ...

You do realize there are more mods out there than just OMFG NEKKED ones?

There are some beautiful ones that help smooth out some of the ugly textures used on faces, and eyes. Ones that make your character look like a male and not some anorexic stick. You know .. human.

Yeah I've seen them. Yeah I've actually been IN the Discord (were you?) I have no idea why you are getting so upset. It isn't forced on your computer. Just client side, like you said.

Sadly, a lot about this game is really ... ugly. And I wish a lot of the outfits showed a bit more skin, especially on my male hyur.

FYi, as a person who HAS seen what happens ...

The only reason a GM took action against a modder, is they posted a screenshot on their media post without using the FF14 credit to the screenshot (from what I read) as well as some idiot was selling them for actual money.

When reading the text of the chat with the GM, it seems that was the only way they knew of the modding (through the media post). That's it. Of course, the player asked if ACT was also not allowed, but the GM side stepped the question. Makes you wonder .. hm? Especially if they say that it isn't in some way in their own ToS.

So yeah.

FYI, I don't use mods. I have thought about it, sure. But reading how to do it got me a little concerned so I didn't. But dang, some of them are beautiful.

It sucks to be you get over it.

ACT? Honestly, those type of mods are pretty simple. It's the same rule as in any MMO, if you keep it to yourself and use it to provide polite helpful advice for others that can improve their performance, actually nobody will care. If you use it to harass people....you will be banned and at that point, it's deserved.


The whole stigma around those type of mods is because some people use it to harass others, you'd be surprised how many people actually use that mod, they just don't tell you about it, the most they do is offer a few tips for your class on how to do better.

I know, and it doesn't bother me a bit.

My point is, if GMs get up in arms over modding people do, then they need to get rid of those who use ACT ... right?

I've had someone take a screenshot of me wearing a certain outfit on my female character. That model had me shirtless and my breasts were showing. It was hilarious. Did I get upset? Nope.

Oh, FYI .. I have been harassed by people who use ACT. I wasn't doing enough damage they thought I should be doing on a BRD, and decided to let me know even after the dungeon. So don't think anything is innocent /shrugs

Literally no one is doing this.

I'm not bothered by the nude thing with mods but where it is getting out of control is glamour. Someone posts some really awesome cosplay or just a general look. You ask what bottom is X or Y and they're like "it's modded". Really frustrating.

So how would the OP feel if someone made a duplicate character of them on another server, used the same face, build and even name and then proceeded to make "risque" screenshots in compromising positions with other characters? All of this is possible using completely within TOS mechanics and software.

If someone want's to skeez out about you , it'll happen.

It may be frustrating, but if it looks really awesome then you know why they have those particular mods. If you're not on PC, then all I have to say is sorry, but if you are then it should be pretty easy to get into the circles of people who mod.

What's wrong with looking good? :(
