Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

FYi, as a person who HAS seen what happens ...

The only reason a GM took action against a modder, is they posted a screenshot on their media post without using the FF14 credit to the screenshot (from what I read) as well as some idiot was selling them for actual money.

When reading the text of the chat with the GM, it seems that was the only way they knew of the modding (through the media post). That's it. Of course, the player asked if ACT was also not allowed, but the GM side stepped the question. Makes you wonder .. hm? Especially if they say that it isn't in some way in their own ToS.

So yeah.

FYI, I don't use mods. I have thought about it, sure. But reading how to do it got me a little concerned so I didn't. But dang, some of them are beautiful.

ACT? Honestly, those type of mods are pretty simple. It's the same rule as in any MMO, if you keep it to yourself and use it to provide polite helpful advice for others that can improve their performance, actually nobody will care. If you use it to harass people....you will be banned and at that point, it's deserved.


The whole stigma around those type of mods is because some people use it to harass others, you'd be surprised how many people actually use that mod, they just don't tell you about it, the most they do is offer a few tips for your class on how to do better.
