I really don't think we're disagreeing - so let's break this down again.

Pyromancer's broadcasting of Mods is a condemned of it, and a condemnation of the stance of the TOS. This makes him no different than someone else who uses similar mods and streams with zero toxicity.
Pyromancer's behavior in his previous deleted stream is an exacerbation of that stance - drawing more attention and ire his way.

Note that we're talking about one streamer over another, even though others are equally guilty of the violation.
So his attitude is a separate issue here. One makes the other worse. Had he calmly stated that he turne off what he thought was too dark of a grey area, and is choosing to take a risk with the remaining and left it at that, this likely wouldn't be an official forum conversation citing him personally as major factor.
The reason I'm talking about pyro here is because this thread is literally about him, and he's the only person who's taken an aggressive stance about this since the first bans went out. That's the only reason. So we should just not talk about him until more people are doing the same?

" Had he calmly stated that he turne off what he thought was too dark of a grey area"

No, not really. Streaming any of the addons and saying "This is okay" when the developer said it is not, multiple times in the last few months, and even more times in the last 2 years (yoshi even said "don't use addons, we're not asking" in 2020) is not something that would be overlooked

the issue here IS the fact that he is openly taking a stance that some mods don't fit what SE says is ToS. That is untrue. Factually untrue. It's a bad faith stance for him to take, and anyone defending it as if it's reasonable just because of QoL etc is where that bad faith is enabling more of the same.

As I edited in my last comment,

"before he even logged into FF14 yesterday, he openly said "I have to turn off everything in order to not get banned, I guess that's just how it is". And then about 30 minutes later logged in, showcased all of his mods and what they do, said he doesn't want to play without them, and then proceeded to play and talk shit with mods showing the whole time."










His stream is going live right now titled as "Let's Talk" so I guess he's going to speak for himself here now. Lets see how this goes.
