I must say.. some of the people arguing against these 'ui mods' are starting to come off as unhinged in how they go about their arguments. Like.. what on earth is even going on when racism and nazi strawmen are being brought into the discussion?

What other people choose to do with their UI and whether they use mods to do it or not really isn't anyone else's business. As I said earlier in this thread, if you see a popular streamer and their UI is quite obviously not XIV's default one.. and it really bothers you that much, report them. That is all you can do, and even then the chances of something being done are fairly slim because it isn't worth the attention when there's no doubt more important things to deal with than 'johnny's ui was blue and had white icons rather than the default!'.

Yoshida's team aren't going to take any steps to install kernel level spyware on the computers of their customers.. and you should be glad they won't because it shows that at least on some level they care about the severe security concerns that most of these anti cheat solutions bring up.
