Stop the WoWificaton (ui mods)

[Altera]

Only the player really knows about the mod, so unless they are advertising that they are using one, there's no real way to know. That includes wardrobe mods.

Wouldnt this be advertising? More and more XIV youtube content creators are actively advertising Addons like this

This is how Addons start. With simple UI, Casting mods showing exactly when you can move your character during the cast, Damage meters, then we will get ones like DBM or Bigwigs and possibly even worse ones simply because of the no enforcing of their own TOS rules.
I hated Addons in WOW and what it made the community do to eachother and do not want the same to happen in XIV as Addons was 1 of 3 big reasons i ended up quitting WOW.

You can do this by intuition, and just looking at your seconds in the cast bar.

Also, i don't believe there has been any party finder that is saying "you need this-and-this addon to join this party", cause that is just dumb. It is all a personal preference.

As long as Square Enix, makes the fight the way that you are able to do without ToS Breaking Addons then it is fine. Cause why would Square Enix even make fights that requires an addon that breaks their own ToS.

I have to agree with you here. I do not mind people using graphics improvement mods, but mods like DBM are cheating to me; after all, the mod is literally telling you in real-time what to do, and all you have to do is follow instructions.

If an interface addon needs a special launcher than i would not use it. Because this launcher will get access to all data of the running FF14 process. This means, it can read your login data.

Nevertheless, Square Enix could take the good ideas from the addons and put them directly into the game. So they could make some interface mods obsolete.

This is incorrect. Please stop spreading misinformation.
If this was true, ACT already know millions of players login info which it don't.

I know how the process model in Windows works. And i know what is possible when a process starts another process and what the first process can do with the other process, sorry.

Would be a shame if that launcher were open source so everyone can see whether or not it steals your login data by going through the publicly available code...oh wait.
