Third-party Tools Can Negatively Affect Players Not Using Them

These same people spent years using mods as well. That's all I'm gonna say really.

I guarantee life will go on and you will stay subbed even after the mods break next expansion.

That's the thing though, you have no point. Just like the other poster said, it's childish idle threats being made because you are attached to the mods. You aren't that attached though, it's literally just appearances. The game will go on regardless as will your true reasons for playing it. You should make fan art if you want to see your character look different. It's more harmful to the game than you think too for players to be focusing on appearances enabled by a third party mod so much. As the developers said, it is more problematic than the people cheating in real content. Even though that is extremely problematic, cosmetic mods are even more problematic.

"It's just appearances" is a breathtakingly ridiculous statement to make. Lord almighty. What, exactly, do you think drives most activity in this game? The modern MMO is practically nothing but a game of appearances.

You can certainly try to stuff the cat back in the bag, but the idea that it will go cleanly at this point is something you can only believe if you are willing to divorce yourself completely from reality.

Source on this? With a claim like that I'd assume you have evidence to back that up.

Source on you quitting the game after they get removed? I'd assume you have evidence to back your idle threats up.

Except they wont get removed and both you and I know that, they wont work for maybe 2 or 3 months then will come back up.

Stop coping.

I have no need to back mine up as it's a matter of opinion, not fact. I believe that people would be upset and feel less inclined to play the game if they weren't able to see their character in the way they were able to, for possibly years prior.

You said they'd be gone with Dawntrail, that sounds like a fact to me. Evidence?

Unless you simply mean that they'll be taken down temporarily when the expansion launches, which is yeah...no duh. People are patient lmao. It took like a week for them to get fixed after Endwalker....

Waiting for their facts and evidence on that too.

Never once did I say it was a fact, it's a speculation. Either way, you're not gonna be quitting over something dumb like cosmetics only addon users can see. The other post talking about how mmo is all about appearances, just get a grip on reality lol.

It'd be good for you if they removed the addons functionality.

What is fact though, is that all your mare appearances are going to be made redundant on release of the new engine and maybe they will block external access to the appearance assets with the graphical overhaul. You're not gonna quit for the 2-3 months to indefinite non-functionality of your immature tasteless addons.
