Hello there, just thought I'd correct you a bit here.
They're actually cracking down on streamers only right now, as in, people who are intentionally choosing to stream the usage of add-ons/modifications directly attached to their Final FantasyXIV game clients.
Now, as for the average Final FanatsyXIV players who dont need attention to breathe, none of the rest of you can be detected. Understand, I am not saying to use chat bubbles. I am saying if you use chat bubbles there is no actual way for anyone to know other than you that you're using them. No one is seeing you do it, therefore, no one can report you for it. The people being banned (reminder! These people are called "streamers"!) are being banned because a viewer sent the report after watching them use modifications clearly directly onto their Final FantasyXIV game clients. Ok? The only way anyone will know is if you streamed it. This is why people streaming the usage of modifications to their Final FantasyXIV game clients are being banned. Because they're streaming it and proving to everyone they can find that they are in fact doing it. If you simply play the game in your room quietly, you cannot get in trouble. As there is no way to know that you are doing it. You need to show someone (likely, strangers!) that you're doing it to get reported to a GM (reported, meaning that a player told on you because they saw you doing it!). So currently, the only way to get in trouble for using something like chat bubbles would be if you for some reason decided to go out of your way and stream yourself using them right there directly attached to your Final FantasyXIV game client. Hope that clears some things up for you!
