Is doing USD art commissions allowed on FFXIV?

I never copy/trace/fan-art, because those things are boring to me. But if another artist wants to--why hate on them?

Because they aren't an artist. They've a thief. How does this even compute? You claim people have lost their passion for art yet think it's perfectly okay someone literally copy your work? It's one thing if they look at your drawing and attempt to recreate it with their own flair (i.e., not trace), but another thing entirely if they simply try passing it off as their own.

It's only a problem if you let it be a problem. It's all about how you let other people affect you. Don't let other people dictate your happiness and enjoyment. Own yourself, or else you're letting them steal more than just your art. ^.^

What??? o.O

Let's apply this warped logic to say, a household item. If someone stole your PS4, PC, money from your dresser, you'd just shrug it off, "Oh, no big deal. People just do things like that ^.^" I get trying not to let it ruin your passion, but people can still be happy with their craft and equally pissed off when someone steals it. I've had someone copy my character wholesale once on a RP forum. I was neither amused nor forgiving about it. They didn't ruin my enjoyment of RP though. They were just a thief, which I called them out on.

I mean, to each their own, I guess...
