Why NOT allow PvP's Combo-actions to be used in PvE?

[Rolder50]

Sorry, but I’m curious, can anyone inform me on FFXIV’s policy on plug-ins? Not saying I’m going to do it *ESPECIALLY* if it’s going to put my account at risk, but is this an absolute no-go?

Someone prior said even a DPS meter is a ‘gray area’ but I’m finding so many mixed messages online. - just to clarify I hate DPS meters I think they’re unnecessary.

It's very much gray area. It's against the TOS but I have not heard of anyone getting banned for using it.

Nah, it's not grey. It's specifically disallowed.

However nobody can really tell unless you brag about it in chat. And that's where the fast banhammer happens.

???????????

??????????

??????????

Streamers use plug-ins, shaders, mods and parsers on stream and on their Reaction Super Cut Compilation EX- THIS MOMENT SHOCKED ME youtube videos and I've yet to see one of them getting banned

Whatever policy SE says they have against 3rd party program usage they are definitely not fast at executing it.

I don't want actions to feel redundant in-game, otherwise why have different actions at all? Why have combos to begin with? Just spam one button to win.
Also what's with all this talk about "1-2-3 is not hard why do you care?". Exactly, but I'm not the one wanting to make it even more effortless. If anything, I should be the one saying this to you.

Also I just want to voice something, I want the PVP 1 combo button because it opens up space for me to include other abilities and actions.. I currently have two action bars and I really don’t want to add anymore because it’s overwhelming and it’d be so cluttered. I don’t plan on leaving those two extra spaces empty anyway, I plan on adding something else in it.

The biggest issue for this is that it cannot be a blanket thing across all classes. As someone pointed out earlier, several classes have branching combos. SAM has three combos that all start with the same ability, and taking away our ability to change up which we're using with ease would be irritating since depending on the fight and how things are going I may need to switch things up to keep my buffs active. Or swap to ensure I have the right number of sen for certain Iaijutsu. From what I remember, not sure how it is now after EW drop, MNK is similar with that. As is Paladin with their melee combo, though theirs is down to two branching combos instead of the three it used to be.

I’m all for condensing kits where it’s logical like Refulgent arrow or Red mage melee. But I’m not for condensing for the sake of condensing considering most new players hate when jobs change which undermines the point. Let’s condense it to explore more of the job concepts but also let’s not change the jobs at all

That’s true. There’s currently a massive amount of players who use the Bard plug in and it’s incredibly obvious.. I’ve not heard any of them being banned.

Anyone who plays through the fire and flames in a group with 3 other people are obv not legit

If we would get something similar to Skill-/Talent trees which would also give us multiple Rotations to choose from, then i would have no problems of having the latter on a single button (it should also be compensated, that we also get more Skills to even out the buttons we lost).

yes plz let's merge the dots on healers into our spammable attack too
