Actually, on that subject: is there anything in the ToS stopping me from selling a dead FC that has an attached medium property? I’ve just got no desire to lead/rebuild it, but I’m also getting lonely.

There was some FC drama going down in Limsa in /say and /shout chat for some reason and meanwhile a hrothgar bard was parked next to them playing the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme on a loop. It doesn't sound as funny when I describe it but I was cackling at the time. lmao

I think a new member has to wait like 30 days before you can assign them the owner role, though, so make sure that's clear to whoever you're selling to.

susan b buffering posted:i don't think this is true. reverse-engineering a game that doesn't officially support mods is interesting in a way that officially sanctioned mods aren't. it has nothing to do with moral character. I am of extremely poor moral character actually!!!! Some of the people who have contributed the most to Dalamud and its ecosystem are basically completely unknown if you aren't also a dev or spend a lot of time reading the dev channels in the goat place discord, so the clout chasing angle is amusing. I know I genuinely don't care myself.

It's been a long standing "Don't ask, don't tell" policy to mods. The dev team obviously knows they exist and don't care as long as it's not like the UAV bullshit from the TOP race.

It’s very difficult for me to understand as a gamer what the meaning behind using numerous third-party tools to compete to clear first would be.

Restricting the use of mods in the ToS but not actively trying to root them out is a best-of-both-worlds sort of compromise. It helps to tone down the toxic elements of instrumental play without frustrating the more passionate/serious players with lacking QoL/extension features. Honestly it's why new players can easily get in to FF14, it isn't a wasteland of metrification where randoms can authoritatively comment on your "objective" performance in group play.

There's a whole video about how addons have affected the design of WoW's boss content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKP1I7IocYU It's over an hour long, but the gist is, since all the top tier players are using addons to trivialize content, the devs had to design fights with the assumption that those addons will be used, making them nearly impossible without them, to the point where players will get kicked out of groups, or refused entry, for not have the "correct" addons, even in relatively "casual" content. There's even addons that are designed specifically to warn you if someone in your party isn't using them.

Yeah I'd much rather have the don't ask don't tell mods policy rather than WoW's you better have these specific mods or you can't play the game with us mindset. Also I have interacted with several plugin developers to give them bug reports and whatnot and they've always been nice so I'm not sure where the idea that they must be jerks is coming from??? The gshade guy was a weird exception to the rule.

They are never going to do that. The buttons are separate on purpose.

I also feel like people ignore the benefits such a system has for people with disabilities when discussion comes up about PvP style button condensing. There's a ton of people out there that have issues playing XIV fully due to the hotbar clutter and execution demand whether it's because of physical limitations like limited hand mobility or other limitations. I see a lot of people get real loving weird about condensing buttons and automating combos and stuff. My mindset is that it's never a bad thing to add accessibility that will help people play the game.

Splitting sequences of abilities that should only be one button into three is a deliberate design choice to make rotations harder to execute. I personally think that this is a really boring way to do that, because it’s very obviously just busywork, but I think the overall idea of having to manage a bunch of buttons in high-stakes situations is a good one. That said, accessibility really is important, so condensing the basic combo down into one button and replacing the empty slots with oGCDs or conditional abilities might be a good compromise. The basic combo is a lot of your damage, so if all you can do is mash that, you’re going to do okay-ish in casual content, and then from there you can work up to the optimal play of hitting every button on your hotbar.

maybe im twisted but i think my fingers would hurt if i was playing paladin or warrior and i was just mashing the same 2 buttons or so over and over. hitting like 5 fell cleves in a row is already bad feeling.

Honestly, I think accessibility is a fake argument in this context. I've never met someone who actually has this accessibility requirement that's aided by this, only people who assert that they must exist and that this would help them. And I actually don't believe them. If you have a disability so constraining that a three-button combo is a struggle, I don't think compressing that combo actually helps. Because as you might've all noticed, your average job in this game has a lot more than three buttons. And usually, using those well has a much more complex requirement than 'hit them in order'. If 'accessibility for people with motor function issues' is the fight you want to fight, I don't think combo compression is a remotely meaningful solution. It solves the most minor problem that sort of person faces, for only a portion of the playable jobs, while not solving any other problem at play. Sure, this solves this hypothetical person being unable to perform the 1-2-3 combo on... let's say Machinist. But does this actually solve their problems with Machinist? If you're teaming up with this person in duty roulette, is your response going to be 'good on them, able to do their 1-2-3 combo', or are you going to be annoyed that they still can't weave their Gauss Shots, properly utilize the Wildfire window, and line up a Reassemble-Drill?
