Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[Bourne_Endeavor]

There are more NSFW mods than they contain SFW.

As someone in that very discord, this is flat out wrong. The SFW side of modding took off exponentially once modding became both more wide-spread and easier to create.

Putting that aside, why does it matter what someone else sees on their client? You are not your character no matter how much you may identify with them. Likewise, what someone else experiences has no bearing on your enjoyment of the game. The vast majority of people modding, even those with nudity mods, are doing it for themselves. I know plenty who are particularly shy irl and explore sides of themselves they only can in a virtual world. Who are they harming if they want to prance around naked when only they see it? These mods are little different than someone using their imagination, or have you never heard the saying, "Just picture them in their underwear/naked?"

Unpopular opinion here. I can understand OP's worries. I didn't know modding had become that extreme, and hearing this makes me uncomfortable too, truth be told.

I wouldn't worry. Very few people actually abuse mods, and those who are caught instantly lose access. If there is one thing I can say, the mod community polices itself quite well. They don't want jerks around anymore than those who don't.
