Let's be real everyone can still using those mods without getting ban, no need to pretend sqex gonna ban all add-on users now.

You just can't promote it on stream in front of thousand of viewers.

This game had things it could be doing better or some just want to simplify one aspect, like combos, because they enjoy the game more that way. That's all it is to me.

I have never used any addon for FF XIV, so I don't know what I lost or not. But, because of that, in my perspective it can be only win. Because now, when every addon is bannable, developers have are much more responsible for things that addons enriched the game. So graphics, chat bubbles, more UI skins, character poses and look (Viera, Hrothgar hats), etc. Because there is no solution outside game, now IMO this is developers responsibility to add to game what was lost. So people like me, that never used any extarnal tools, will get new cool features in games that never had.

Is it too much copium? Maybe.

There is no need for any third party program in FF14 and even in WoW the developer start thinking about to ban dbm and other third party programs because it is trivialize the game play.

Wait is using "bad" language bannable? I dont remember that. Not talking about gamer words, but just run of the mill cursing.

Yes, it is.

Trust me.

Again, they can't check your computer. So do whatever you want, just don't talk about it.

Pretty much this. It's the same as it has always been, don't flaunt your mods and you're good.
Btw, bards use a third party tool to play music, and i don't care what square's reasoning is, crack down on that and you're assholes.

Banning random streamers for using Act and UI mods is entirely performative and doesn't actually do anything to help combat illicit activity within the game. It just promotes and sanctions witch hunts.

But it's kind of SE's thing to take the laziest approach to solving problems lately so I'm genuinely not surprised.
