Just give us a list of what addons we can use.

It's probably safe to use addons that also work on PS4/PS5

I always love when people ask for clearly defined rules, so they can skirt them as closely as technically possible.

Yeah, we even made an entire profession that focus solely on that. We call them lawyers xD

They can't endorse specific addons for liability reasons I would've thought. Wouldn't be a good look of "SE approved" mod that corrupted someone's PC now would it. Or simply a poorly implemented update to said mod one day just breaking the game for people. If it's gonna have SE stamp of approval it comes with an expectation of quality that they cant assure since it is not actually ran by them at all.

Whether the above is accurate or not, we are not getting a list of things we can and cant use. The only one Yoshi P said was ok was reshade since it didn't change the game itself. They made very clear that 3rd party is prohibited and use at your own risk. The community abused the tolerance it had up to this point by streaming blatant mods and plug ins to thousands on the biggest content drop so far this expansion. A 10 day ban is not world ending at all. Actually nice to see SE try and preserve the integrity of the content and try to promote a more even playing field for console and pc players.

Go back to no show and no tell and we can all enjoy the game how we want without fuss. I never seen so much mods in ffxiv as when the WoW streamers came over and after that they just seemed to be popping up on every stream. Did agree with Xeno, why ban ff players and not the big wow players? It shouldn't be a rule for one and not the other, either ban them all, warn them all or do nothing to the lot.

This is and forever will be an underrated but lovely and brilliant comment. Because, you know, that is exactly what people would (and will) do. And every time they try and fail, they'll <surprised Pikachu face> and then moan incessantly about how they're innocent victims or about how anyone who imposes any rules on them are horrible gestapo-like villains from a dystopia who are ruining everything for everyone (and by everyone, they mean just themselves, unless they can find a convenient third party to use as a shield... and who they don't actually care about, either).

They're handing out bans because Japan's message boards are butthurt they didn't get world first in DRU, so they're screaming at Square to BAN BAN BAN! They didn't give a crap about this last week, and they'll return to not giving a crap once 5ch had had their pound of flesh.

I think a mod should just go through all the recent forum posts and ban everybody who is defending addons.
The controversy about it is so annoying, especially as it literally doesn't impact anybody aside from the small niche of XIV streamers.

I wish they would, too. It's sad that they almost certainly won't, but I would appreciate it (and, admittedly, feel a little bit of schadenfreude).

This community, I swear. Acting indignant as if even thinking about modding a game makes you a baby-eater. The TOS is a legal document, not a religious text.

That sounds exactly like something someone who named themselves after a member of the forsaken, one of the most evil people in the Wheel of Time series, would say. "They're just breaking the rules. Why so salty? Oh, uh, be right back. Just need to loosen the seals on the Dark One's prison a little bit. Kill Rand while I'm gone!"
