Time to Quit

[Renathras]

Why wouldn't I be serious? A significant number of people playing this game...

And what is that "significant number"?

What is the "number" there? Is it 50? 500? A thousand? A million?

I'd say the fact that - as another poster so kindly pointed out - at least 20000 players are using a specific lewd mod counts as a 'significant number' when there is content designed to appeal to a far lesser number of players.

I think it'd be quite the interesting experiment for Square Enix to ban mods altogether as of 7.0 and prevent them from being launched, if only to see how many players actually stick around to continue playing the game as intended.

It might be an "interesting experiment", but no sane company CEO is going to approve such a move. The liability lawsuits would cripple any game company involved in such stupidity.

And fully encrypting network traffic between client and server could work, but if you're not already worried about ping you will be shortly after implementation.

Dream on though.

I officially joined the 7.0 make it or break it gang.

For a bit of a story I only resubbed to play the MSQ, see the new trial and pandemonium's ending. All of it. ALL. Was trash.

MSQ is literally another "We went to za void (again), we failed (again), we go back (again) and try again next patch lol (this is like the 4th time or what ?)", the Golbez fight was also the least interesting trial this expansion, which is saying a lot since Rubicante was just a reskinned Suzaku. The last good trial was Barbaricia, which was about 2 patches ago, hot damn.

And on this topic, the first 2 tiers of Pandemonium were cool, had interesting mechanics and were fun to watch, play and listen to. This tier is crap, in all departments, the mechanics all boil down to "Hahaha, gotcha" bodychecks, the bosses are literally who cares mobs, and do we really need another Themis fight ? Like, really ? Let him be already. And don't get me started on P12. E12 was visually impressive and fun to play (even on normal) but I don't have words to explain how disappointing P12 is.

I won't even go into all my complaints about no content, but at this point I feel robbed of $12, I literally played this patch for less than 12 hours, there's nothing to do, there's no worth in paying the sub.

That's odd. Since when is it illegal to not allow modding? Are you telling me that WoW is also banned in Japan? Are you telling me that FFXIV's own TOS opens them up to lawsuits? Are you telling me there's no way they can find mod users?

For emphasis, since you apparently missed the focus of the post to which I was responding: "I think it'd be quite the interesting experiment for Square Enix to ban mods altogether as of 7.0 and prevent them from being launched."

Edit: if you still don't get it ... gshade, anyone?

Why does a hard number matter? Do you actually mean to dispute that a lot of ppl use this game for ERP, lewd mods and random venues. Because surely you have common sense and know that is the case.

The developer who runs the horse mod where you can see other mods has estimated based on usage that 14% of the playerbase uses his specific mod. I can find you the discord post if you’d like. He’d be very in tune with player usage.
