I'm sorry to break this to you but yes, XIV's player counts trend upwards, even ignoring the spike from WoW dying, and like all mmos the player count plateaus and dips between final patch and the next expansion pack
>player numbers go down during content drought means it’s dying
So do you WoWfags just make up your own reality to fit your narrative? You should see your game during a content drought LMAO
when DT launch is lower than EW launch will you homosexuals stop crying and accept the truth?

It’s cute that your narrative has flipped now that there is proof XIV is still growing.

Yes. It is going up relative to the different periods that expansions had. EWs end of expansion content drought has way way more players than any other end of expansion content drought. Happens in your dragon furry game too.

Unironically if you ban everyone who uses mods or implement a way to detect people who modify the game in such a way, you would be losing 80% of the playerbase minimum. The perma-subs who treat it like some social game mod the shit out of their characters looks and wouldn't play without it. The autistic parsefags won't play without that either.
The game and the people who play it have changed too much.

Except the graphics update is already gonna destroy every single visual mod, as in all the Mare fags will suddenly find all their coomer mods no longer work and will have a galactic meltie. I'm only surprised they aren't ALREADY freaking out over it.
Odds are the tools will just automatically convert old mods.
A bigger problem would be if skeletons are adjusted to include new joints, for example for wiggling toes or more emotive faces.
yeah, but who knows if they are pushing it that far. I feel like if they were they would've said so already. But if they are, then yeah that's definitely gonna break every mod
textures and models are file paths are probably gonna change, which means all mods are gonna break. an easy fix, but one that someone has to do, and most retards don't know how to do it themselves and are gonna be left waiting for someone else to do it for them
The people who make posts like this in every thread about mods don't play the game and are only doing it for (You)s. Nobody actually cares all that much about degenerate modbeasts. They're fun to laugh at but ultimately the only people who can see and interact with their weird bullshit are those who want to.
Cracking down on visual mods alone would be enough to tank the games population much less removing all the QoL add-ons that people use.
This is the truth. Most people don't care because they never see it anyway.
I use mods but I'd gladly dump them if SE actually gave us some fucking options.

Don't SquareEnix make a point of never acting on any kind of external evidence, which is why hackers and such can constantly get away with shit because they flat out won't accept video evidence of them clearly hacking for example?
they only take evidence from the person in question's view, other wise any retard could install some mods take a photo of someone they don't like and claim they're using mods
Oh almost forgot... >Also add their lodestone data, if they change their character name/fantasia, keep in mind that the lodestone also updates this lmfao
The problem is that you need to be invited to syncshells. I've been covertly infiltrating hundreds of them and taking names like this, I haven't dropped my payload yet because I don't want to blow my cover, I want to get as many people in one go.
What's the problem this time, claims of objectification by those who don't know what objectification means? Claims of a fictional character being a bad representation of real women? Concerns of the rights of female fictional characters? A call to action to those powerless to solve an unsolvable/nonexistent problem?

I got a warning for saying something about the @v@tarfags. I think they must be working with the jannies or something to shit up the threads. I dont get it.
After that thread I finally figured out just what has been going on this whole time

The fact that he waited until the thread was over 100 posts with no @vatarfags in sight and THEN deleted it suggests that the janny has no direct contact with the @vatarfags. If he did, he would have notified them of a XIV thread to go shit up. The fact that he left it stay up for nearly 200 posts and then deleted it after not a single one of them showed up proves this. Thereby he is not directly conspiring with them. They are just a rogue element that he is taking advantage of to ruin these threads. They're just a some attentionwhores who were rejected by /xivg/ and started flagrantly violating r13 here for attention and he realizes nobody here likes them and they shit up the threads so he's just deliberatley ignoring them. And if they don't show up for too long? Then he deletes the thread, because he won't allow any XIV thread that doesn't have shitposters ruining them.

Don't respond to the avatarfags
I'm personally gonna be skipping the MSQ in 7.0 thanks to the atrocity that was post EW and the utter lack of any buildup to the new storyline of this expansion. That and of coruse the forced Scions. I'm way more interested in the Vanadiel raid story. We already know nothing of consequence will actually happen in the MSQ because the Scions will pull some shit out of their asses to save the day and of course none of them will die so there's no actual stakes. The MSQ is just for husbando/waifu fags obsessed with the Scions at this point, not people who want an actual good story.
>modbeasts are a problem!!
They don't impact your game in any way shape or form.
What they actually do is pay $10 a month to stand around doing nothing and any new content made for them requires minimal effort.
SE is not going to kill off their easiest cash cow because some autist on weeaboo image board got upset that some guy in Limsa Lominsa might choose to have his cat girl look like shit on his screen.
>They don't impact your game in any way shape or form.
Yes they do. I constantly deal with fucking retards who dont know how to play the game on PF and we all know its the braindead coomers.
If you're still doing content then you're retarded, modders and roleplay is the only thing keeping your trashy game afloat. Go outside, enjoy life and come back when the content is relevant.
The only mod I use is Bibo for feet and to give my catgirl an actual ass, and animation mods for jobs (like Papachin's stuff). As long as those work I don't care.
>I wish we had bed hair like that in game, girls with messy hair is hot.
It's literally just Devola's hair from Nier. Somehow it's even more high polygon than the graphics update hair
is it just me, or am I the only one who enjoys the side stories like Omega, Alexander, Pandaemonium, or even job quests like Blue Mage or hell even HILDIBRANDT but don't give a shit about the MSQ anymore? Hell even Beast Tribes are more entertaining than the MSQ at this point (like the Namazu, Dwarves, and Elephant Pajeets). Side stories either don't take themselves too seriously tobegin with so I don't care about the lack of death or major stakes, or they somehow have higher stakes than the MSQ and actually have death of a main character in the story you care about (Alexander, Pandaemonium). Hell even the Macchi raids had a touching ending.
The side stories also don't have the Scions who have incinviclbe plot armor, stagnant character development, and are virtually all the same personality, grafted onto them. It's the only time in the game where I can avoid the Scions and have comfy adventures with characters like Cid and Nero.
I find the WOL's lack of voice acting works better in side content because NOBODY is voice acted. In the MSQ the WOL is this wierd mute surrounded by very vocal people. In side content they don't stand out so much because everyone, WOL included thanks to dialogue options, communicates in entirely unvoiced text. The result is the WOL doesn't come accross as an autistic mute which makes them work better as an actual character. Vs the MSQ where you're just that one guy who never says anything.

I met some people from the game and it turns out all the FtMs are just fat women that didn't get banged enough in school so they want to be dudes now but also want the privileges of being a girl
I was referred to as the most normal person they knew
>thought Ganker was kidding when they said everyone is a gay tranny >get into a static >read character bios at random and they immediately list sexual preferences and their pronouns >listen to people talk anywhere in the game >everyone is a huge homosexual with 13 mental illnesses or trans without a hint of irony as I hear their natural Kermit voice or just a straight up man
Go ahead and say "But enough about WoW" this shit is endemic in XIV by far
You can find it in other shitty Asian games like Tera. Really obvious when dress up items take precedence over new content that it's become a dating sim for shut ins
They exist on literally any online game at this point. I know a few but they're a tiny minority even in XIV.
I don't mind gays at all but I think trannies have problems, I just keep them are arms length and interact politely if I need to.
We scowl at them.

Well. The major body mods will get updated. A lot of clothing will probably be lost to time however.
>The Bibo trannies will race to be first and complete their takeover of body mods
Grim
The people who make posts like this in every thread about mods don't play the game and are only doing it for (You)s. Nobody actually cares all that much about degenerate modbeasts. They're fun to laugh at but ultimately the only people who can see and interact with their weird bullshit are those who want to.
Cracking down on visual mods alone would be enough to tank the games population much less removing all the QoL add-ons that people use.
This is the truth. Most people don't care because they never see it anyway.
I use mods but I'd gladly dump them if SE actually gave us some fucking options.
dont install mods yourself
dont install mare
I fixed the problem

At least in previous xpacs you had Eureka or Bozja. This is bleak

Easy

Fucking based.
Been doing it for a few months now.
It's so easy to bait these mentally ill fucks and make them your "friend", infiltrate their discords/fbs etc.
>Photo proof
Don't SquareEnix make a point of never acting on any kind of external evidence, which is why hackers and such can constantly get away with shit because they flat out won't accept video evidence of them clearly hacking for example?
They don't accept video evidence, but they looooooooove photos.
they only take evidence from the person in question's view, other wise any retard could install some mods take a photo of someone they don't like and claim they're using mods
Oh almost forgot...
>Also add their lodestone data, if they change their character name/fantasia, keep in mind that the lodestone also updates this lmfao
>take photos of yourself using mods to try get other people banned
I know you people aren't the smartest but come on
>I know you people aren't the smartest but come on
It's called the HOME key, it puts you in first person.
You're a fucking asshole, why are you ruining other people's enjoyment of the game?
the enjoyment in question
The problem is that you need to be invited to syncshells. I've been covertly infiltrating hundreds of them and taking names like this, I haven't dropped my payload yet because I don't want to blow my cover, I want to get as many people in one go.
You're wasting time. They won't ban anyone based on other's screenshots.
What's the problem this time, claims of objectification by those who don't know what objectification means? Claims of a fictional character being a bad representation of real women? Concerns of the rights of female fictional characters? A call to action to those powerless to solve an unsolvable/nonexistent problem?
no
won't the update break them all
Watch this thread get deleted for no reason like the one from last night if the @v@tarfags fail to find it by the time it hits bump limit.
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/657325538/
>wahh my off-topic meta drama discussion thread got deleted
keep it in your generals.
I got a warning for saying something about the @v@tarfags. I think they must be working with the jannies or something to shit up the threads. I dont get it.
After that thread I finally figured out just what has been going on this whole time
>February 2023, lalas start appearing in Ganker threads, their lack of presence in /xivg/ suggests that they're social rejects from over there
>Start attentionwhoring here nonstop every single day
>Janny, who hates XIV, notices that these fags are pissing off the general userbase of Ganker XIV threads, as they contribute nothing of value to discussion and frequently try to derail any actual discussion into being about themselves or ERPing
>He could enforce the rule 13 and ban them, but as he has noticed that they severely reduce the quality of discussion in XIV threads deliberately allows them to remain and shit up the threads
The fact that he waited until the thread was over 100 posts with no @vatarfags in sight and THEN deleted it suggests that the janny has no direct contact with the @vatarfags. If he did, he would have notified them of a XIV thread to go shit up. The fact that he left it stay up for nearly 200 posts and then deleted it after not a single one of them showed up proves this. Thereby he is not directly conspiring with them. They are just a rogue element that he is taking advantage of to ruin these threads. They're just a some attentionwhores who were rejected by /xivg/ and started flagrantly violating r13 here for attention and he realizes nobody here likes them and they shit up the threads so he's just deliberatley ignoring them. And if they don't show up for too long? Then he deletes the thread, because he won't allow any XIV thread that doesn't have shitposters ruining them.
Now it all makes sense.
I love ryne. I love her so much.
>lalas start appearing in Ganker threads, their lack of presence in /xivg/ suggests that they're social rejects from over there
Thats just objectively false there is probably a "post lalafell" post up in that general rn
Ryne is the best thing to happen to XIV.
>modbeasts are a problem!!
They don't impact your game in any way shape or form.
What they actually do is pay $10 a month to stand around doing nothing and any new content made for them requires minimal effort.
SE is not going to kill off their easiest cash cow because some autist on weeaboo image board got upset that some guy in Limsa Lominsa might choose to have his cat girl look like shit on his screen.
>They don't impact your game in any way shape or form.
Yes they do. I constantly deal with fucking retards who dont know how to play the game on PF and we all know its the braindead coomers.
You're going to get those players regardless of mods.
They have always existed long before the modding scene did.
Why would I want more of them retard?
Problem?
*pokes bellybutton*
Pump up all miqo sluts with whipped cream until they explode
add bodysliders
and then you can bad mods for all i care
If you're still doing content then you're retarded, modders and roleplay is the only thing keeping your trashy game afloat. Go outside, enjoy life and come back when the content is relevant.
Ban all modders simply for cheating in fall guys
put in sexy content stock so they don't need to mod it in?
i mean, look at these lala thighs
simply ban them
Why solve it?
so since we're talking about worlo now, should i do mage, priest or rogue for SoD?
The only mod I use is Bibo for feet and to give my catgirl an actual ass, and animation mods for jobs (like Papachin's stuff). As long as those work I don't care.
I wish we had bed hair like that in game, girls with messy hair is hot.
>I wish we had bed hair like that in game, girls with messy hair is hot.
It's literally just Devola's hair from Nier. Somehow it's even more high polygon than the graphics update hair
https://xivmodarchive.com/modid/31272
Cute nose
Oh yeah this hair mod I don't even use anymore I just use Vanilla hair again.
I think that gentleman in the back is admiring your tail
Better character creation.
Is the game character models being ugly as sin a prerequisite to get a ton of porn mods?(anything by bugthesda, ffxiv, cyberpink 2077...)
the people who say adding anti cheat,ban for using mods,etc would kill the game are the actual mod trannies
I feel like people are not playing XIV anymore, there's no hype behind 7.0 and they are instead going back to WoW, thoughts?
>Literal devs
say dont care just don't have it on your streams or videos
>retards who don't even play the game
REEEE NOOOO HECKIN NOOOOO REEEE THIS EFFECTS ME EVEN THOUGH I LITERALLY CAN'T SEE IT REEEEE NONONONONONO NOOOO
Lol.
People mod, modding is part of the game.
If you don't like it, play a different game.
Get over it.
is it just me, or am I the only one who enjoys the side stories like Omega, Alexander, Pandaemonium, or even job quests like Blue Mage or hell even HILDIBRANDT but don't give a shit about the MSQ anymore? Hell even Beast Tribes are more entertaining than the MSQ at this point (like the Namazu, Dwarves, and Elephant Pajeets). Side stories either don't take themselves too seriously tobegin with so I don't care about the lack of death or major stakes, or they somehow have higher stakes than the MSQ and actually have death of a main character in the story you care about (Alexander, Pandaemonium). Hell even the Macchi raids had a touching ending.
The side stories also don't have the Scions who have incinviclbe plot armor, stagnant character development, and are virtually all the same personality, grafted onto them. It's the only time in the game where I can avoid the Scions and have comfy adventures with characters like Cid and Nero.
Post Moogle was the best part of the game
I find the WOL's lack of voice acting works better in side content because NOBODY is voice acted. In the MSQ the WOL is this wierd mute surrounded by very vocal people. In side content they don't stand out so much because everyone, WOL included thanks to dialogue options, communicates in entirely unvoiced text. The result is the WOL doesn't come accross as an autistic mute which makes them work better as an actual character. Vs the MSQ where you're just that one guy who never says anything.
Post more giant catgirls
>Post more giant catgirls
>giant Y'shtola
Excellent thank you
That's not a girl, that's a dirty old hag.
holy based
Don't respond to the avatarfags
I'm personally gonna be skipping the MSQ in 7.0 thanks to the atrocity that was post EW and the utter lack of any buildup to the new storyline of this expansion. That and of coruse the forced Scions. I'm way more interested in the Vanadiel raid story. We already know nothing of consequence will actually happen in the MSQ because the Scions will pull some shit out of their asses to save the day and of course none of them will die so there's no actual stakes. The MSQ is just for husbando/waifu fags obsessed with the Scions at this point, not people who want an actual good story.
wassup biggers
I can see your underwear
i need someone to post that webm of that elezen football kicking a lala
go have a nice day
perv
very good
man i'd play this game again if its player base weren't actual basedjack autistic psychopaths
I met up with my free company for Fan Fest and they were all genuinely amazing people.
How many std's did you get?
I met some people from the game and it turns out all the FtMs are just fat women that didn't get banged enough in school so they want to be dudes now but also want the privileges of being a girl
I was referred to as the most normal person they knew
Maybe it's an American server thing then?
>thought Ganker was kidding when they said everyone is a gay tranny
>get into a static
>read character bios at random and they immediately list sexual preferences and their pronouns
>listen to people talk anywhere in the game
>everyone is a huge homosexual with 13 mental illnesses or trans without a hint of irony as I hear their natural Kermit voice or just a straight up man
Go ahead and say "But enough about WoW" this shit is endemic in XIV by far
I've never seen another MMO filled with people treating it as a dating game
You can find it in other shitty Asian games like Tera. Really obvious when dress up items take precedence over new content that it's become a dating sim for shut ins
They exist on literally any online game at this point. I know a few but they're a tiny minority even in XIV.
I don't mind gays at all but I think trannies have problems, I just keep them are arms length and interact politely if I need to.
Genuinely why would you ever doubt the game where everyone plays a same face catgirl is filled with trannies?
Welcome to FF14
But enough about WoW
*shoots you in the head*
*tanks it*
Can I play with an NPC party and not have to interact with people that play ff14?
Why does it matter if you can't see it?
Stop responding to the attentionwhore.
