Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[ClaireWinchester]

Also if others actually affect what you play... I feel sorry for you.

At least read before giving your so unwanted opinion. The report and block thing obviously doesn't help since ppl can make alts and what not. I also said that mods are not the actual problem and that it only becomes a problem depending on who ends up using it. If you want to see your pixel naked... great! More power to you. If you are doing it to molest ppl then it's wrong. I mean come on know the difference. The main reason it bothers me it's because minors play the game too so... Besides I'm not the OP I just started giving my 2 cents just like you. I Don't know why would you feel sorry for me lol I'm not the one with the pixel fixation lol

Do I have to repeat myself AGAIN? If you are not looking for said content it. doesn't. affect. you. SE is going to great lengths to avoid putting sexually suggestive emotes in game and even went as far as being able to turn emote text off. The tools are there for you to use. All you have to just use em. That goes for anybody being offended at the fact that mods exist. It is impossible to molest a character on this game. This is like that Polygon reporter who claims to have been sexual abused by a multiplayer VR game where there's only a helmet, hands and a bow in the game. You're all being on par with that level of ridiculous.

And you are specially a bad case because you apparently changed races because of how others were treating you? That is pathetic on both parties.

even so i think you have a big problem to deal with modded content. makes me think you're a ps4 user?

I very doubt somone gonna make an alt just ho harass you like if you are that intresting of a person.

I don’t really care that much..

[Tridus]

Nonsense. You joined a multiplayer game, with terms of service among other things prohibits third party tools, data mining, and harassment. You are not entitled to ignore the rules while others abide by them.

I used the G keys on my Logitech keyboard to automate opening lockboxes in Eureka, and the keyboard driver is a third party tool. I await my ban.

...

What's that? SE doesn't actually enforce that when it's not being used against another player? Huh. Maybe the actual enforced rules aren't quite what you think they are...

Yes, minors do play the game too, but they'll only see naked pixels if they either install the mods themself or look for such pictures. You cant send a picture via /tell after all. So for a minor to see they need to make the effort to see it.

There are people using mods to alter ingame models (wether thats hairstyle, colours of gear or removing gear alltogether and replacing it with some naked textures).
There are people molesting and harrassing others ingame (may that be some sort of sexually or other harrassment).
Those two groups can overlap, but dont have to - and we should treat them seperatly, something you continue to fail to do.
What you need to understand is that while the second group might use mods, thats actually not the problem with them. You kinda seem to understand that though.
As long as they dont molest anyone, they're doing no harm - not even if they're looking at the naked character that belongs to a minor, because that character isnt said minor. Its a bunch of pixels. Unless they tell the minor (or anyone) that they're doing it, no one but them even knows. The moment they do tell, the sexual harrassment and unwanted attention becomes the (reportable) problem, not the modding. Believe me: no one who wants to sexually harrass someone in the game (or in general) needs a nude-mod to do so.

And I do feel sorry for you, too - and I'll tell you why: Because you clearly believe that anyone who might find an ingame character (or a bunch of pixels) sexually attractive is some sort of weirdo.
Its not your thing, we got it. I already mentioned that its not my thing either. But I can still understand that it might be someone elses and not condemn them for it. I feel sorry for you because you seem so close-minded to me that you cant understand and tolerate that someone else might be into other things than you are.

Again: If someone installs a nude-mod it only alters their own game. No one else is going to see it.
The moment someone else does see it, that person must have shared their screenshots - and without consent and specially the ill intend of harming/harrassing someone, that becomes a problem. But that ill intend doesnt rely on mods - you're mentioning people creating alts and going through lengths to stalk someone. Do you not think such a (hypothetical) person would just go and photoshop a screenshot to look like whatever they want it to look like aswell?

So yes, you do seem to understand that mods arent the issue but harrassment is.
Which, in turn, means that no one should be that concerend or worked up about those mods in the first place. Can they be used as a tool to harrass someone? Sure. So can the simple the chat ingame.

Personally, I dont consider it a great or "healthy" way of living to always be concernd and worried about everything that could potentially happen, including something like such harrassment. Takes away a lot of quality of life , which is why I cant really relate to the OP.

what is this game rated again...?



right...

[Lynde]

what is this game rated again...?



right...

What was the other quote...? Oh yeah.

ONLINE INTERACTIONS ARE NOT RATED BY THE ESRB

So yeah. That rating only applies to the basic content in the game before any player interactions.

Correct, the game itself is rated with these terms stated (for the point of argument the sexual themes). Online can't be rated due to people (aka modders) able to change terms to a M rating right off the bat, what's my point? well...

If you pick up a game (for yourself or a minor) with a T rating that clearly stat that there is sexual themes in it's content, is it the games fault? No.
If you play an online game where modders can change the rating to a M or AO rating although they themselfs can't rate it, is it the games fault? again, No.

SE can only do so much and frankly as already stated, unless this minor is going out their way to get the mod themselfs to see these...pixels there isn't any harm in it. If your getting offended by these incidents well...again i bring you to the rating, look carefully at what you're buying and take into account that in this day and age mods are a thing.
