Modders did it to themselves

[Boblawblah]

As the friend of some of these people, I hope it happens. Because they forgot the one rule above all. Keep it to yourself.

and if the people that hate these kind of mods purposely talk about it? What then?

Oh well. Get over it. If they don't get caught using anything themselves they're in the okay to complain about addons. TOS just says you can not advertise them or use them (or admit to using them).

First rule of Fight Club is the best anyone can do. Yoshi himself said they won't hunt down addons as long as they aren't given a reason to.

To be honest, I think this is mainly due to some stupid modders using the #FFXIV and #GPOSE tags too freely.
Most of the character images uploaded by modders are completely unrecognizable, and the worst are those that call themselves Au Ra but completely ignore horns and scales.
They seem to be mistaken in thinking that destroying the worldview and characters of FFXIV and forcibly bringing their own characters into FFXIV is self-expression. That's why you'd be better off playing other online games.

It’s really not that deep. SE has always known about mods—it’s never been a secret. The issue came from people going on a public rampage showing them off everywhere, way too loudly and too often. If it had stayed subtle and within the circle, a few haters speaking out wouldn’t have been enough to make it blow up. We’ve seen the same thing happen before. And at the end of the day, SE has a public image and legal responsibility to uphold. If something gets too loud and too visible, they don’t have the luxury of pretending not to notice.

true, but there are people here that go looking for these mods acting like they're popo. its just sad, because they're typical karens honestly. as for the luxury of pretending of not to notice for SE. they had many opportunities to squash it, even during the world first DSR and the previous world first clear debacle of the teams using third party tools to get clears publicly, they chose to ignore it at that point and turned blind eye to said tools. If players have to use to tool play the combat aspect of the game to give an edge or make it easier then there is an issue SE is failing to address and that's on them.

Using Mare to make an example because people want to go "owo daddy spank me im your puppy grr grr" then by all means have at it,not one advantage is given in game play. Just because its not your thing doesn't mean it not someone else. Some people use it for upscales of vanilla armors, others want more variety in colors and so on which I agree with the variety in colors bit because honestly, we should have more than 2 channels for colors on armor and even games that are less resource intensive has better customization options on a mobile device. People have been asking for the basic of things in this game for the past 10 years that should been here to begin with.

You all are more worried about what someone is seeing on their end of the screen in their room/house then people tyring to gain an advantage with tools...

No the modders were totally discreet and didn't draw ANY attention to themselves at all, how could Yoshi p target them like this??

I heard about this place. Never had a chance to visit it.

....until my associate "Keanu" decided to.


Behold - the "Final" Fantasy room. Definitely absolutely nothing worth writing home about.







Unless you discount the bondage kink room.



Keanu going to work.





Cleaned the lobby and the lobby bedroom



Cleaned the chapel



They had a nice photo room.

I completely get your point, and I agree — SE should absolutely address cheating and advantage-granting tools. The main distinction is just that visual/aesthetic mods, even NSFW ones, don’t actually impact gameplay. The concern there is how it reflects on SE’s public image. Cheating in games happens — even on a large scale — and while it’s a problem that SE should address, it doesn’t really reflect on Square Enix itself. The issue lies with the individuals choosing to cheat. Visual mods, especially NSFW ones, are different because their visibility does affect SE’s public image, which is why the reaction is often stronger there.

I, for one, don’t care if someone wants tig bitties or whatever, but there’s still a certain level of personal responsibility when using these mods in public spaces or on platforms where others can see them.

I love how people defend modding so hard when it even divide community it is supposed to help x) don't have mare don't RP with us. I wish they would use a anti cheat I agree with JP people to just add one x) bam problem solve xx)

Wouldn't solve anything, but thanks for the suggestion.

Only people to blame for that division in the community are those who get up in arms about people using them. Can't say I've ever seen anyone berate others for not having mare code or mods. The closest that I could envision is someone pointing fingers at people not using ACT and, even then, that wouldn't just be a very exceptional case not representative of the whole but, on top of that, I don't think I've ever seen that happen.
