Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[LeoLupinos]

Its optional. Don't instal if you don't wnat, nobody is forcing you.

Welcome to the internet....

That being said you won't stop them, and your digital body isn't you, nor is their mod an accurate description of even your digital body.

If its being used for harassment its one thing, but other than that...people will do what they do.

TLR- Don’t stress about things you cannot control.

Christ, the FFXIV community is so PASS-backwards sometimes. Other games have had mods like this for years and they don't have this kind of whinging.

Disclaimer: I do not endorse, support or promote any sort of illicit activity for Final Fantasy XIV and my words are only of those based on research I've done solely to comment on this thread. I'm not liable for other user(s) breaking the ToS and is their sole responsibility to follow the agreement that they agreed to when creating their Square Enix account.

Now that's out of the way I want to discuss some thing that I've found from these so called "Modding servers" I do also want to point out I've not participated in modding myself but rather look into how said things are used and to gather my own research.

Now your main argument is that user(s) can see your character naked, now whilst this is possible from first glance you really have to look into the whole "modding" as a whole, it's an offence against the ToS that users agreed to and can result in your account being revoked of access to the game (ban / suspensions), I've seen several user(s) who've been reported for advertising it in-game & on social media and I agree with the stance that SE themselves are taking.


Now in regards to "my characters can be seen naked is wrong!" Well it's quite simple, avoid revealing outfits that are commonly modded (I mean on one of the servers I found there was literally a whole list of what not to wear), walking around in highly populated areas wearing nothing at all & if user(s) are sending you tells of images where they're clearly broken the ToS, report them there and then. Don't argue with the user(s), Don't start harassing them back, just file a report and a GM will deal with it. If you're arguing with the user(s) it'll also look bad on yourself and could possibly lead yourself into a heap of trouble too.

Do I support modifying XIV Files? No.
Do I want to modify my in-game files? No.

thing is until Square Enix put in a sort of Anti-tamper mechanism into the game, nothing will be done unless user(s) are caught red handed sending images of them breaking the ToS through in-game tells or by promoting websites / social media links (twitter for example) where they're hosting images / files that break the ToS of the game and can be linked back to them in-game.

One good example was that a user on Aether had their twitter handle in their search information recently and when people went to their twitter it had their character information & had 1000s of images of them clearly violating the ToS. GMs contacted said user and took action against them.

I do not support anyone who breaks the Terms of Service.

If someone is harassing you that person should be punished, not the mods, if the person really wants to harass you even if SE were able to block mods (what I highly doubt to be possible) what prevents that person to make a character exactly like you on character creation, put it naked in a thousand of different poses and doing nasty stuff and post all over the internet saying its you? they don't need mods for it, they could do it on a PS4 all within the game itself.

So my knowledge from the nude mod comes from when I was still an Au Ra. I had a FC mate who was always taking pictures of me, quite a lot of my arse, and he'd send them every so often. He mentioned that he uses the nude mode, and was hoping that he'd get a chance for some naked screenshots of my char. Gotta say, that weirded me out a tiny bit. He also mentioned a couple of the clothing items he had set to show as the nude skin, and so I started avoiding those with my glamours.

I can see both sides of this. I don't mind the mod being out there, I personally just don't really want to know when I'm the target of the mod. I'm married and not looking to pick up any ERP buddies in game. I've been on the receiving end of someone getting off to my character, and then telling me about it, and it's just...strange.

I think with this mod it's just best to know your audience. If the other person is totally cool with it, and wants to play along, have fun! If the other party is not so fond of it, just keep it to yourself.
