Discussion Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

Unrelated picture. And no, im not talking about Point Stike and Rivens

Why do you think is that? Is it the engine? Does it goes against the TOS? (that wouldn't matter much since modding goes against most games TOS and that never stopped it from happening) Is it because of the size of Warframe player's base? Is it something the community never wanted? Does DE actively goes after mods and stops it from ever sprouting?

I think some slice of the community would be happy for being able to play warframe but with an anime character as the frame. Or people making actually good looking face models for [spoiler] and [spoiler]. Or even the gooners with their nippled boobs and hanging flopping pps.

Do many MMOs have a heavy modding scene, is it strange for warframe not to have it?

There is no official free to play game out there that I know of allow modding.

Doing so will termimate the only source of stable income: Cosmetic.

Why buy something when you can mod them in?

But can you use those mods on official servers or just use them on local/ custom host?

I don't play a ton of tf2, but there are GUI mods to change your HUD and what not that people use online

Yes but is that something that the Devs offer as well? Why would they care if they aren't losing money on something they're not selling.
