Lord-Captain, why are you not a human and instead you are a poorly-hand drawn depiction of a Linoone

Nothing’s heresy when you’re a Rogue Trader.

ive seen its possible but for some reason wow treats it more seriously than 14 does.
not that i blame them with how 14 modders use them at large.

well then it shouldn’t be an issue!

It’s definitely possible, it’s just that you’re far more likely to eat a ban and also get detected with WoW than 14. 14 disallows it but doesn’t actually seem to moderate as long as you’re not causing problems. WoW will actively punish you.

Could probably blame it on those AQ raiders who model-swapped a wall into nothing so they could skip the raid, or people modelswapping mining nodes into Ragnaros for easy locating or

Either way, it’s unfortunate. Some of the animation/model change mods for FF14 jobs are really cool, and since Blizz aren’t giving us class skins, players could do it instead.

But nah, not happening :pensive:

lmao what that’s wild

somehow less worse than goldshire reasons

god that is funny tho

Let me explain. We are the only US Horde guild that clears Naxx [the most challenging area of the game], been like that for a few weeks. People found that the pre-C’thun trash was so painful, that they decided to install some stupid thing that deletes walls or something, and you can just run there after Skeram [the first boss]. I know, we had it coming, blah blah whatever, we know we deserve it…I’m sure they’ll try and get it rescinded because it’s kind of a steep punishment with no recourse or whatever.

I don’t have an article for the Ragnaros-mining nodes but I know it definitely was a thing back in the day but I did find this forum thread where someone else in 2011 mentioned the exact same thing.

So yeah, I understand why Blizz is apprehensive to allow this sorta stuff and is incentivised to crack down hard, but also I wish they weren’t.

People would also do things like replace the Warsong Gulch files so that you could run across the map with the flag under the map or in the air out of reach of the other team.

all sounds very legitimate to me

This does nothing to convince me that PVP should just be deleted so the rest of us, non-gtemlin folk can Have Nice Things, frankly.

Give me Common as a Common language, devs. I am no longer asking…

The problem with changing game models for RP is that only people who enable model swap mods will see them. So you either create a situation where different people see the in-game world differently, or you create the perception that mod managers are mandatory for RP. Neither outcome is palatable to me.

I get that. Just for me the changes I’d be interested in are the sorta stuff where if other people can see it that’s fine, but if they can’t that’s also totally fine. I’d be changing it for me, not for anyone else.

But I do recognise that some people might be interested in more drastic changes (full on race changes for instance) so them not being visible to others might be a bit iffy.

I can think of several people who would chew your arm off for the opportunity to model, say, an ethereal without having to do whole rogue/prism shenanigans about it

imagine if model change toys had no cooldown and infinite duration

alas
