The FFXIV Addon Drama is Dumb.



Yeah, thats my take on this dumb drama. I think people are Losing their minds, getting heated and witch hunting each other over a nothing burger of an issue.

Have a nice day.

  2. This is, as you say, a really dumb drama & – hot take – it's squeenix fault because they got lax in their enforcement. They said they weren't actively going to pursue Mod users over Gshade & it snowballed from there & now mod usage is blatant & out of control, so now they are bringing the hammer. It's why I wont use Gshade, even though I want to. Its a fantastic program

    I'm pretty much in agreement. It's vague and loose for legal reasons, but still distinct enough to cover what it needs to. I would add that in addition to telling the devs directly what you want to be added…. be patient. You need to remember that despite Yoshida's good intentions, it's still a corporation and corporations are not very quick to change at all. Additionally, English is neither their first nor their best language so there's that to take into account as well.

  4. aww you guarded the knockup i'm so proud <3

    far better an analogy, and one that pokes another big company in the eye, is the steam overlay. if you play through steam theres avalible overlays built into your game. can't really not have them.. so.. is steam then a 3pp and bannable? of course not.

  5. Yeah totally agree it is dumb. Nothing has changed lol. It’s always been like this. Also most content creators only play on PC and forget nearly half the player base is on console and can’t have these things. Honestly I think that has a huge impact on their stance.

  6. If discord is a third party tool, so is your PC or console. It's not the exact piece of software that is the game, and it interacts with both the player AND the game. It's mega disingenuous and I admit I had a few friends who tried to throw that argument at me. I told them I was blocking them for two weeks so I just wouldn't have to feel my brain cells crying out in pain.

    It's just the first rule of fight club. Don't f'ing talk about it. Or we don't talk about Bruno. Or whatever allegory you wanna slap onto it. It's a speakeasy. It's an underground club. I'm pretty sure the only reason they suddenly started whipping out red cards to give players is because too many people were pushing the bottom line. I look forward to when people quit being angry, quit witch hunting, quit defending or attacking Square Enix and we can talk on the forums about what quality of life features that should be added. Be vocal about it. Put in a little effort.

    tl;dr It's a shitty situation for everyone. Nobody wins in this fight. And nothing will get accomplished by being angry about it for whatever reason we have.

  7. The other argument to not add addons are the consoles. I think it's better to let everybody play at the same level field. If PC begins to use Addons, consoles players begin to feel left out or resent. Having a MMO on both PC and consoles is a FFXIV strength and should not turn into a weakness.

  8. I will say this like I said to all the other videos and on the forums. STFU if you are using Mods and addons. NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ON YOUR COMP. Just enjoy the game and be quiet. KEEP YOUR SHIT BETWEEN YOU AND GOD………….Period.

    EDIT…….Do what I said above and you don't get Lynched, You don't get Witch Hunted, and you don't get in trouble. Easy.

  10. I tried to talk to some people but they always say "what about..blah blah." I gave up when i realized this does not effect me. I don't use add ons and I will not get ban but I only speak up because these same people will rage at the devs and that is what bothers me, i'd rather them rage at me than the devs. Sending death threats over housing? Come on, we are better than that.
