Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[heroism]

Relax, there's like 0 mods for lalafell. No one wants to see potatoes naked.

Masqurade a bot as ACT maybe? , Synchronize skills among party members using ACT so everything is done perfectly?

What Yoshi-P does and what SE says are different, we know that. ACT users are first to complain about everything being too easy, because they took all the fun out of the game.

I'm usually not one to compare games because they are apples and oranges, but I felt like this a complete misunderstanding of capabilities. WoW, which has a very robust mod community, is not able to do this. If it were that easy, everyone would be clearing mythic raids there. Even with all the addon's, there are still a large portion who are not able to clear the raids. Their addon's will tell you a lot more than ACT does, and there is still a lot of failure. I think ACT has a long way to go before it can be considered something that is ruining the game.

As a previous multi-boxer, there are ways to do this.

But...lets just say that the amount of effort (and subs one player would be paying, as I was paying for 5) to pull this off justifies the outcome. It is also far more difficult than playing one character lol

Simply going to echo this sentiment. If I want naked potatoes, I go to the grocery store.

You used a mod to bring him into this, didnt you?

The FFXIV ACT plugin, is at it's core, a hacking tool. You may think it's "just reading a combat log" but it's not.

The hottest take I've ever seen in the gaming community...

Secondly, to all those saying it's not harassment and it's just pixels. Why would it be any different if someone posted an irl nude of me on their tumblr? Because it's digital it's suddenly acceptable and I should just get over it? Some of us do like to treat our characters as extensions of ourselves.

My really serious concern with this statement is the apparent over self identification with a video game cartoon character. The difference between that character and your real life self is vast - and if you don't see that, that is very dangerous for you...

If people are taking actions at or towards you, or changing your game experience - you have a legitimate gripe. But if they're just changing what they see on their screen in regards to a bunch of cartoons that do not represent ANYONE... that's not at you at all.

It is STILL a major issue for SE, as it disrupts their service and could cause them issues with ratings and such. But the gripe here is not 'harassment' but rather 'hacking and EULA violations'.

I had too. How else can I have that awesome theme onto the topic otherwise? SE let me use the themes for epic topics please.
