Comparing WoW Addons to FFXIV Mods and discussing if they are a problem in the MMORPG genre. The culture around addons and mods in MMORPGs varies between different games the developers always have different rules.

In WoW Addons are pretty much freely allowed and are encouraged for the more post. They bring huge quality of life improvements and drive real change in the genre, but also lead of increasing difficult content due to developer scaling.

Compared to FFXIV where addons third party tools are a strange grey area. FFXIV Addons and Mods are frowned up and using them can result in a ban, however it is rarely enforced. Leading to a strange environment in the community where those willing to take risks can be rewarded. We recently saw drama in the Omega World first around a group using FFXIV mods and gaining a competitive advantage.
