Do you ever think about how people play games to escape yet...

That...actual sounds pretty cool. (●´∀｀●)
Don't know why you all are doom-and-gloom about it.

Well, from what I've seen from most comments, it's about how shameless those people are with it.

See, for it to work, you need people to have a code that represents your account in Mare. People are posting that code on search info profiles, which means they're basically advertising the fact they're using tools that Square Enix is against. Those people are not only in danger of getting the ban hammer, they're also putting spotlight on the tool and risking Square shut it down... if Square were to actually take actions against these tools, that is

In principle, yeah, people use it so others can see them how they choose to see themselves in the game. At least, when it comes to modding.
But if you're going to draw attention to both yourself and it, then it becomes questionable.

That, and... well, given the nature of this thread, people apparently don't like it that people are treating the game as more than what the devs want it to be treated. The devs did make GPose and glams, but modding takes it a step further.

But considering how little there is in terms of gimmicks in the game, can you blame them? Most we have is BLU and Bard Performance, latest emotes seem to be rehashes of eachother.

The issue isn't really Mare, it's the people selling cosmetic mods and gshade/reshade presets. That's one way for Square Enix to take the nuclear option sooner rather than later, these people really shouldn't be making their own cash stores in a game that already has a cash store.
