Yoshi P Responds to Modding Drama: "Regarding Mod Usage and Culture" || FFXIV

I wasn't planning to talk about the Mare topic, but I find getting an official response now to be worthy of talk! Esp cuz I feel like Yoshi/SE rarely if ever talks about modding other than to just ask us to stop LOL. So this is a pretty big deal for them to basically define what is okay and what isn't.
