3rd party tool go brrrrr

[Sqwall]

I play on PS5 and have never needed ANY of the mods/tools/add-ons/plugins.

Just a controller...and that's it.

The lack of understanding for the PC crowd to look at those players that actually don't use these tools, and yet can still play competently is beyond me. At least 4 of the people on my static play on PS5.

Now I would definitely LOVE some QoL updates and upgrade some of the UI's ability to display information. Or better yet the ability to provide more accessibility options like font size as I play in 4k on a 65" TV and I have to adjust the font size as I sit back about 15ft from it.

Out of all the things this game has....the UI was updated the least over the years. And it's starting to show it's age.

But it's not completely impossible to pass content with the current UI. And I don't need FFLOGs, I don't need ACT, I don't need the myriad of other add-on's or plug in's to make me better.

if square enix took time away from working on other things in ff14 to work on making mods this community would be up in arms.

They would probably monetize it too. Oh you want to use the SE-made DPS meter? You need to purchase it on the Mog Station for $7.99!

The free version you get is the enmity rank on the party list.

Okay now watch as I spam [Insert bog-standard aoe heal here] and jump to the top of the enmity list.

Clearly I'm doing the most damage now.

You're indeed doing something, which is all that matters.

I'm so happy that I'm doing the most damage as a DRK by a long shot, but that's so imbalanced. Nerf DRK plz.

The last image is really just people who don't understand what he meant.
Acting like he's talking about Discord or whatever is just stupid as hell, I like Xenosys but when he went on a big tirade about it he really just came across like he was looking for something to complain about.
It's really obvious what they're talking about unless you're incapable of intepreting anything beyond the most literal extreme.
I've even seen people going '' wellk atajhthcually '' and bringing up how Youtube and guides on other sites are '' third party '' too the difference is that they don't interact in any way with the game.
Discord and Youtube are completely separate from the actual game they're not third party tools that are directly interacting with the game.

People are reaching so ultra hard just to be mad at the devs but this really should be incredibly obvious to anyone who's being even remotely even just slightly charitable and don't interpret what they said in the most ludicrously extreme way possible.
Same with parsing you're not going to get banned for it unless you harass people with it.
If you harass people with it then cry me a river if you get banned, you should be.

[Canadane]

seriously. banning someone for using a party buff timer and a dps meter has got to be one of the dumbest things ive ever heard of. ive used mods like these when i used to play wow a long time ago and all it did was help me become a better player.

You're gaining an advantage a Playstation player cannot have.
It's literally cheating.

This isn't some offline single player game where what you do and what hacks you use only affect you. Your online actions affect everyone.

Oh no....i'm being called out...."What ever will I do!".... *heavy sarcasm*

Payed a lot for you're PC ???.... I literally CANNOT laugh hard enough at this. Paying more for a PC allows me to....forget...the rules? Therefore I should be allowed to play the game however I want and I should stream it to !!!!! SCREW THE RULES!!!

With your logic we should all go out and purchase Ferrari's and speed EVERYWHERE. EAT MY DIRT COPS!!! POSTED SPEED LIMIT IS ONLY FOR THOSE CASUALS!!! WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME A TICKET???? LAW'S???? YOU CAUGHT ME BREAKING IT???

*visible confusion meme*

That is quite literally the worst examples of trying to say why 3rd party mods should be allowed.... "Because I dropped $3,000 on my rig so I can play...stream...mod...and display my ego for all to see!"

......I can't....

I'm dead LOL I love it.

It's obvious you need some help, be it analysis or not. Sheesh.
