    They have a reason? And by devs, do you mean Square Enix, or have the actual programmers gone on the record saying it?

      the director himself is usually the one who comes out and explains it and whats happening behind the scenes. Hence when they address it, he will be talking as himself as rather the team in official blogposts. Theyve been litigious against mods early in the year so youd be hard pressed to think they want it there.

      generally speaking, most mmo companies have a similar clause and they take mods on a case by case basis. FF14 is the only one that constantly reminds people Moddings Bad Mkay, don’t do it, and actually acts (bans) on it.
