A Japanese FFXIV streamer using XIVLauncher just received a 10-day suspension. He’s deleted all his twitch vods but here are some screenshots of him being taken to GM jail.

He was streaming with add-ons when SE’s announcement dropped and there were multiple posts on 5ch saying things like (paraphrasing) “Hey, let’s see if we can get these streamers banned” and “if SE doesn’t ban this streamer, I won’t believe in what they said about not allowing add-ons,” so I’m guessing there was a report brigade. A couple of hours later, the suspension happened.

I’d recommend avoiding streaming on Twitch with add-ons until the dust settles.

Edit: Looking at the screenshots, he was using SimpleTweaks for party buff timers, some plugin that lets you track other people’s CDs and ACT.

Also the streamer in question was speedrunner Hiroro from Team Overclock.

People are seriously frickin' petty. If it isn't giving someone an overt advantage, don't frickin' report.

I will say it like I have in other threads. Keep your secrets to yourself. If you are using A.C.T.,keep it secret. If you are using mods for any other thing, keep it secret. Trust me. No one needs to know what you are doing on your own damn computer. Keep it between you and Jesus. Move along with life.

It should not matter whether they are "keeping it secret" or not, some things are worth reporting for. This ain't it, fam.

Well if they were keeping it secret then threads like this wouldn't exist. Those people getting banned for using "Said" mod and streaming that they use it are just dumb as hell.

With how consistent SE is with their stance on mods(most being don't ask, don't tell for the more cosmetic ones...and even on parsers as long as you aren't being as asshat with it), anyone who does mod knows they are playing with fire, and that streaming with them visible is only a matter of time before either SE finds out, or someone tells on the streamer.

No one should be streaming with add ons. Thats like playing with fire and expecting not to get burn. Yoshi has said time and time again. PLay with addons via 3rd party keep it to yourself.
