in regards to the arguement of people using mods for mogstation items instead of buying them.

like piracy in general, if people would rather take the unofficial route to get your product/item, they either dont have the money for it, or dont think its worth the price and likely would not have purchased it anyway.

and i think this may have an opposite effect as people who may have used mod for mogstation items may well feel far less inclined to spend money on them now.

whereas up until now people would buy things like emotes and gear sets because mods were being made to work off those items, either by directly replacing them or improving/expanding upon them

Okay, so...what is your point?

Like, why is it so hard for some people to understand (and accept) to NOT mod sync your (store or whatever) outfits to other mod users? And especially to not advertise it through "official" (more like, any) hashtags on social media...

He even stated that he does not care what people are doing to their character appearance on their side of the game. If you want to use any store item on your character, just do it. There is no need to justify it if you are doing it for yourself.

Scruit_Bigtime ima give you some amazing advice free of charge hold for a second ima let the legend, the myth, the man himself tell ya
Gabe Newell famously stated that "piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem". He elaborated that the easiest way to stop piracy is not through anti-piracy technology but by offering a better service than what pirates provide, emphasizing that users are willing to pay if the service is valuable and convenient enough.
How about SE lower the prices on them outfits that one outfit costing 42.00 and your telling me you are ok with an outfit costing that much?

Look I buy from mogstation....but even I have limitations on that. Outfits costing 42.00 and its not even acount bound is WILD.

Also. If the outfit offers bigger boobas ofcourse ID do that. XD

Overall tho. I cant take what your saying serious. Like allot of you have the I play this game and I demand to control your account cause i Pay a sub and for that I demand all of you to bow to my playstyle or ill ban you for life mind set.

Idc if ppl wanna mod. Don't advertise it, don't let me know, don't even talk to me about it. IF im a drug dealer selling drugs. Am I just gonna straight up go to the police and be like eyo wanna buy some drugs....of course not. So think of mods like a drug and yoshi-p like a police officer. You dont want him to notice dont give him a reason to notice. To all the peeps with the remove mods for good mindset. Mind you, that be the stupidest hot take you all would do. Im sorry but the truth is. Remove the mods and this game would die faster than my hopes and dreams of ppl on forum actually being intelligent enough to understand how deep the mod rabbit hole goes. You be surprise how many ppl mod. Its not 1 or 2 not even a thousand.....its bigger than we think. Your telling yoshi-p to call how many ppl to unsub..... you literally are creatively bankrupt if you think that the smartest thing to do.
It is not.....

This whole situation feels silly to me because all these people had to do was keep a low profile but decided to self-report themselves by taking over a public zone...and I have zero doubts they'll probably do it again even if a replacement for Mare manages to show up.

I've also already randomly had 18+ modded XIV content show up in the general XIV feed for twitter multiple times which is precisely the kind of thing the devs do not want happening and probably will keep happening regardless.

Its because they are so starved for attention, they have to spam their naked character all over twitter. And much like with any society you follow the slowest and dumbest member with laws.

Now because Steve and Cindy crashed their car while breaking the speedlimit x5 and will most likely do it again no matter how many times someone lectures them. Nobody else can soon step into a car to even drive

This community will cross the line again and ouroboros itself.
Then they will cry without realizing the damages done.
Xenos interview with Mare Dev is 100% clear there are freaks out there.
And Yoshi Ps statement to stop stealing (literally) mogstation items
But again this community will cross the line, they've done it before, they'll do it again and Yoshi will eventually slam an anti-cheat on us.
I can't wait for the day to come, and I hope I'm wrong.

I dont think the game can handle anticheat.

These are all a result of incredibly relaxed moderation of players. This game largely may as well not have a ToS unless you go out of your way to offend someone. The way this game is moderated, this cycle will repeat itself over and over. Near enough every other community can be like this, where it is 'permitted'.

This game will never introduce anti-cheat. Yoshida's insistence on walking on eggshells with third party tools makes it pretty clear that the game (and the developers) rely on third-party tools just as much as what the community does.
