Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[AnTanuki]

I don't get it, is this giving anyone an unfair play advantage over other players?

Dear God please be a troll thread...

In the unfortunate case it's not, are you touched in the head? How anyone could associate a video game character with their own body in real life, to the degree of pointing disgruntled fingers at the modding community as a whole, is completely asinine.
You sound like a sheltered teenager that's angry at the internet for making lewd pictures of their favorite cartoons.

If you want to mod play offline games. When played Aion years ago ask all those hackers and modders what happened to them one day lost 200+ in guild was in because they all got caught hacking and using mods. If it's against the users agreement then its not allowed plain and simple. Maybe all these lag spikes and disconnects that ones is getting now from all these mods ones is doing. I know when ever I get close to a bot I get vey bad lag spikes.

You are conflating two entirely different arguments. Feeling odd about someone using a nudity mod is hardly the same likening yourself to the character. Only the latter is where the "it's only pixels" argument came into play because, in that context, it is. You have not been violated, which is what the OP insinuated. That is what prompted this whole discussion.

I think the only reason you'd lag out near bots is because of the fact that the gil farming bots tend to move in groups of a few to several dozen at a time, which places strain on both one's connection and their GPU from having to load in several PCs all of a sudden.

You =/= Your character

There is so many out there, just like you, with the same body as yours. You are not unique, and the 'harassment' is.... What exactly? Are you bothered being called a potato?

For the naked mod to work you need to be in your undies btw, aka no gear at all. So get dressed.

While I can surely understand people don't like "shady" being done things behind their back - let's also be honest.
Literally everyone playing that game knows this nudity thing is fake. I mean, that's like if someone takes a picture of me and adds a speechbubble over my head, adding nasty text. Do you really think anyone would think I did actually say this?

If I'd see a picture of a nude player, I know that it's just altered, and altered things have 0% credibility to me until I've been told it's true by the right person.
First I thought they can also somehow alter it on my client (I had not much sleep this night...) and I was like "Eww, naked fat Roes all over the place".

Blacklist doesn't prevent them from posting these pictures on their Tumblr, Twitters, Instagrams and discord networks. It's a big deal when it becomes harassment.

You know what's worse than mods?? Photoshop!!! Can you imagine that they can make hundreds of naked characters with your character name on them and post them all over social media sites?? I don't know how you'll sleep at night now after knowing this.

It sounds to me like you are one of those perverted freaks tbh. OP is just giving his opinion on a weird and uncomfortable activity that is going on in game. I don't ERP or RP so why should my character be the inspiration for someone to bust on? I saw some weirdo taking his clothes off infront of my retainer lmao while on camera mode or whatever that's called. I didn't care much about that I think he is a weirdo I need to avoid, but someone doing that to your character and posting it online is not ok. It is a game and it should be fun so if someone doesn't want someone like you to jerk off to their character then their decision should be respected. I think you and those ppl need help. It wouldn't be an issue if they wouldn't share the pictures. If that's what single guys in basements are into then they should keep it to themselves. I guess that's why dudes marry my little pony plushies lol ppl are too busy trying sexualize everything.

Who are you talking to, Claire? Without having quoted anyone I'm assuming you're responding to Alucard135, or at worst MrKusakabe, and that's a rather harsh response to either of them. Also, I'd rather be a "perverted freak" than a puritanical pearl-clutching busy body, life's much more fun.
