Japanese FFXIV streamer receives a suspension for using add-ons.

Careful, they'll probably lock this thread too. Apparently, talking about how backwards it is to allow top world raider streamers to be visibly displaying ACT and plugins for years, only to come down on this one dude who got mass reported by people "to see if anything would actually happen" is a big no-no now.

To note: I'm against the ban and against them taking direct action on people literally just using calculators for the sake of raid progression. I just think the double standard on display with this incident is incredibly, hilariously sad.

Looks like streamers are going to have to learn how to play vanilla now.

Or NOT show their addons. Simple solution to resolve honestly.

Just a reminder for anyone who wants to discuss how add-ons and third party tools can do good things, it may be reportable just to speak positively of such:

Regarding Third-party Tools

By the same token, it is impossible for us to check what programs are installed on every player’s PC. This is why we cannot identify and reprimand offenders 100% of the time. To offer more clarity on our process, here are a few examples of the rule violations we prioritize for investigation:

• Any actions or public statements that promote use of third-party tools.

No one should be streaming with add ons. Thats like playing with fire and expecting not to get burn. Yoshi has said time and time again. PLay with addons via 3rd party keep it to yourself.

people seem to have a problem with common sense.
And they'll blame the community for it xD

He also said he didnt want report wars but look at where we are now, waging a report war just to find out if it does something.

People are seriously frickin' petty. If it isn't giving someone an overt advantage, don't frickin' report.

Yoshi P: I am once again telling you that add-on's are not allowed.
Streamer 5 seconds later: *Streams with add-on's and gets banned*
Ya'll: *Surprise Pikachu Face*

I feel like that dude just got into the crossfire
after today's announcement so the hunt began.
Unlucky kekw.

If only people could be this dogged about getting rid of the actually annoying add-ons like the bots and PvP scripters.

Ah, but you see doing that would take actual work. This here is just the low hanging fruit to make it look like they are doing something.

well, those botters aren't streaming with proof of their crime sadly.
They have more common sense than that apparently.
