ffxiv is dying and i guess square enix figured out how to piss out the people most likely to spend money on cash shop

@charlotte what happen?

@dangerdyke c&d to mare synchronous, which lets users share the mods on their raccharacter with others

@charlotte oh shit, if they’re finally cracking down on modders yeah the game is fuckd

@dangerdyke i think we aren't seeing the whole picture here though

Like it doesn't really make sense to take down a mod that is likely the main reason for a good few thousand to keep subscribed, when the game already is unpopular due to a poorly received expansion, instead of taking down botting mods for example which fuck with the in game economy

@dangerdyke
I should probably see the damage done to Balmung quicksands lmao

@dangerdyke
Supposedly the limsas in other na worlds are fuller now

Oh yeah if you're think about joining loporrit sync or sth

Don't

Apparently you can't either at the moment but the owner has also hurt a friend of mine which I won't go into detail on because it's not my story to reveal

But also to provide a bit more raccontext, loporrit sync was made specifically to avoid the moderation of mare synchronous — so a literal freeze peach fork — and also has historically been behind on features from upstream mare. They also took the source raccode offline at some point, which is highly suspicious especially since they are obligated to provide it

@charlotte aiui it probably has more to do with squenix execs getting on yoshi p about the mods they hear about, and they might not be exposed to the botting mods since people dont make media about them
