I did some more digging into the theoretical reasons behind banning the mod and I'm going to reverse my opinion about the ban being against the better interest of FFXIV. It seems the third party mod was oftentimes being used to display nudity and smut to anyone else who used the mod. People forget that FFXIV is meant to be played by people age 13+ so if a game and its 3rd party mod are being used to display unregulated pornographic content to minors illegally then its no wonder SE put their foot down on it.
Rip to those who used the mod in a reasonable way like putting a hat on a Viera or Hroth, but shame on those who exclusively used it for inappropriate reasons which were more than likely the reason for its downfall.
Oh for sure, you won't hear any argument from me about the poor state of DT. DT has been the weakest expansion by far in the history of FFXIV. I'm not even subbed right now. I'm just here for the free login weekend and probably won't be subbing until 8.0.
