The community is being dumb and spoiled. They did this to themselves by publicly talking about the mod even on fucking shout ingame.

Mods are not allowed (we can argue about this but that's not the point now) so everyone using mods knows (or should know) that talking about mods ingame and in public places like the fucking Square Enix forums is not a thing you should be doing.

And what did they do? All of it. So many times that in events they were even flooding the ingame chats about the mods.

You dumb assholes brought this to yourselves by breaking the TOS and talking about it freely.

Yeah they've always taken a hard stance on using mods. It's still crazy to me that they went after a mod that was used heavily by their massive RP community. When I played FFXIV for a few months, I learned most of their players do their grinding outside of dungeons.
