The FFXIV community already has a strained reputation for being insular and hostile to those who do not tow the line like everyone else, and this is just another example of that. The more takes I read that stem from this controversy the more I want to go off and play FFXI or single player titles because I have very limited patience for the kind of behavior that this situation has let out of the woodwork.
This forum regularily wields the ToS as a weapon. It's part in parcel with posting on these forums. Thats why theres literally someone who says they would actually break the ToS for the forums to insult me if they knew they could get away with it and not be penalized, because they don't like that I want more chaos and whinging and shit flinging over, and of all things, QoL third part programs and streamers.
