I never play WoW but I played Runes of Magic, a WoW clone and they have incredible 3rd party UI support, users enjoy creating alternate UI and share it with others
will/should it be possible in FFXIV?
Third party UI support?

Given SE's stance in FFXI I highly doubt that they will allow use of 3rd party tools and will actively pursue anyone using them. Also I do believe that it states in int EULA for FFXIV that they will not be allowed either.

I'm not really for or against it... but I do hope they seriously consider "rebranding" their current UI at least

templates to change visual look of the UI... i dont see the problem.
If SE supplies the templates, accept them as suitable.
Not saying they need help with visual improvements (Cuz SE already masters of this),
but well it might bring something new to the game. -

Actually Yoshida said in one interview that he plans on eventually allowing add-ons like what other MMOs like WoW and stuff have. But their focus at the moment are major things like class and battle system, so.

I'm all for this if it also decreases UI lag.

I'm just not sure how they plan on implementing it, the reason WoW can be customized is most of it's UI is client based, where as FFXIV is mostly server based "also why we get input lag".
It would be a very massive undertaking from what I understand to switch it from Serve to client side... -

Of the many poor decisions the original development team made, this was one of the worst. It boggles my mind that ANYONE on the team thought that a server-side focused UI was a good idea when half the player base is on the other side of the world.

-As this guy states below, they banned accounts in xi when they found 3rd party software used. Not just speed manipulation, even something as small as a distance to target add-on. Several old friends were banned.
