Stop the WoWificaton (ui mods)

[Moonlite]

They can't do anything.. you see a popular streamer with meters and UI mods and it really bothers you that much? Report them.

They cannot and will not add the means to peek into people's computers.. nor would I keep the game installed if they would.

Cannot is incorrect. They choose not to. It is not illegal as some have claimed, other games in all the regions that FF14 is in have these features. Will not, could be for multiple reasons. Simplest is probably the same as why they don't ban more cheaters. It isn't worth it to them.

UI of wow is terrible why someone use an UI mods like that?! final fantasy 14 is much more clean to your screen than any other mmo, besides you can change interface of everything in game with no additional addon. i agree! let not turn this game into wow cause if wow failed today, is because of fanbase who accept anything blizz trows at them. there's no reason square would take same path to fail too like blizz.
wow is funny even the failures of game, players try turn it into some kind of achievement. wow its not a game, its a cult, a "religion" (with all respect) that players tell all the time how good game is, no matter how mutch effort blizz put to make game impossible to have fun with.

If we are going to ignore these things, please let me know which rules are breakable and which are not.

They've already told us they look the other way as long as the mods aren't used to grief/harass other players and don't offer game play advantages.

UI mods aren't doing either, they're just offering more customization to how the UI looks. I'm not using mods myself but it's really tempting when it comes to fixing party frames (my one big complaint with the default UI).

If you're seeing more than a UI modification, that could be an issue.

Because I have seen this all before in MMORPG's. It's only a matter of time before the community makes certain addons mandatory. It's a trend I've all seen before. It's becoming far too normalized and accepted.

The idea that addons are mandatory anywhere is in your own head. Plenty of people in WoW conquer mythic content (mythic plus, and raids both) and PvP on a stock UI.

I do believe that what truly happened here is that you saw a video of a really cool UI mod, realized it was only for PC, and got quite jealous over the fact that PC folks can do super-cool mod to their UI, while you sit there with a console and no mods. Not being able to deal with those feelings, you turned it into a tirade against addons in general. Be honest, now.

Rarely do I ever quote Shakespeare, despite being a bookworm, but now's the time, and you gotta take these moments when you can get 'em:


"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"




In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, you can read about it here, if you care: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_la...much,_methinks. The phrase is used in everyday speech to indicate doubt of someone's sincerity, especially regarding the truth of a strong denial.

That is incredibly disappointing and tells me all I need to know.

The only thing this tells anyone is that you know very little on the subject.

No one raids above normal in WoW on the stock ui. No one.

I have XIV on console and PS5 so I have nothing to be jealous of. I work all day at a desk and prefer to play on console. I think console experience is superior for this game.

If something offers someone an apparent advantage, be it literal or just thematic preference; they will take it. There isn't anything you can do about it and stressing the point will net you nothing either. Except the closed ears of the crowd maybe. The final say on anything is with the staff; and they are very very unlikely (as in not) to pay this any mind. Japan generally and Yoshida et al, all have a high regard for wow. They aren't going to actively hunt these things and dissuade the demographic from subscribing.

This will become their wow 2.0 and a large part of that emigrating community will undoubtedly use their preferred UI, if not all of them. That's not going to change. How many people follow suit will depend on how influential that population is in reality and how appealing the UI is. Reputed merit is all that matters to a collective. Artificially influenced or not is irrelevant. Your ''crusade'' is a waste of your time and ours as a result.

As long as players do not have an advantage over others, I don't really see the problem here. I do not use mods myself but the UI is somewhat rigid and I understand. There's other mods that are more troublesome in nature.

Once you open the gates theres no hold more, so no... you can modify enough here.

Complaining about how people set their UI. I've seen it all now.

Actually not yet, not until I see someone start a thread about how people who color their glams red are ruining the game.
