Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[Stormfur]

It's a fine line we're walking here.

Mods are a breach of the ToS. But no player is admittedly going to shout from the rooftops "HEY I USE MODS TO MAKE EVERYONE'S CHARACTERS NAKED!" So, even if they're doing it to you, you'd probably never know. BUT if they start posting screenshots of your character nude or in compromising positions and such, and those screenshots get shared and passed around, THEN I would say it borders on harassment, because they're using it with the intention of causing you harm/discomfort.

But if SE were to take the ban-hammer and ban everyone who uses this particular mod, what's to prevent another, potentially worse one from taking its place? If anything that's not part of the core game is considered a mod, then those programs that overlay with peoples' DPS in a fight, or call out hunt mobs when you're in the area, are also mods and would be banned.

You see how it can snowball and get out of control? Stopping programs like this requires development time and resources -- time and resources that could be better spent on content.
