I was thinking can't people let the issue die off instead of constantly making threads is what I was thinking. But then again most humans LOVE the hell out of drama and crave it. So....
to be fair we are currently living in a lull
the OF is probably the most exciting place for xiv atm
When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.
Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.
Twitch streams thrive on controversy. The streamers line their pockets while spamming this garbage everywhere. Hell they will even take a ban hit here or there. Their popularity rockets as a result.My dear god, what in the world is going on?
SE: We want to reiterate our policy that's been the same for many years.
People: The sky is falling.
Also SE: Yeah and this one guy had the audacity to stream himself using 3rd party tools. We will ban him, because, duh.
Also People: THE SKY IS FALLING ZOMG WHAT WILL I DO?
...I dunno, maybe take a breath and realize nothing at all - nothing, not an iota - has changed? Just maybe?
Like, seriously, all of this fear and rhetoric is made-up nonsense. Y'all make up fake nonsense, then get riled up over it. +1 for the "raised by the Internet" generation, I guess? People that grew up with logic and reality surrounding them likely aren't reacting like this.
And if you're a streamer, and you're now freaking out because you can't do your chosen profession anymore for fear of being banned - I have no sympathy for you folks. You folks knew from day one that using 3rd party tools was against ToS and that the only people that were truly safe were those that didn't broadcast the fact that they were violating TOS.
It's like saying "I've been driving this same route to and from work for ten years, always doing a sneaky 75 in the 65 zone, and NOW I'M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND because they put up traffic cameras on that stretch that could ticket me when I speed."
No sympathy for irrational sorrows.
When the devs fix the game, (hrothgar/viera hair and hats) I will consider the possibility that 3rd part tools are wrong.
But if we have to rely on third party tools to fix very basic things? Heck no.
And I get it. SE is a small indy company. But that means they should be thankful that these modders, many of whom are much more talented and skilled than they can afford to hire at this small indy company, for doing their job for them.
