SFW modding should be officially allowed.

Hard pass. I don't want a culture of "you need these third party plug-ins to see how the game is supposed to look" to take root. I already left a game that essentially had mods be mandatory to experience the game to its fullest. It was irritating because these mods can be buggy due to not being QA tested by the game's actual QA teams. I don't miss dealing with that. I used to dread patch days.

I don't see third party SFW plug-ins being permitted for two reasons:

1: Customisation are gil sinks and are a way for players to make gil. If a culture of having visual mods became the default for most players, then most would stop purchasing glam gear and hairstyles, thus making certain loot and crafting less relevant than it is now. SE are not going to permit something that would have a negative effect on a system that currently works just fine.

2: SE are not going to permit players to use plug-ins for customisation options when they currently make money selling them on the store. It would be a terrible business decision.
