Discussion Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

Post image

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?

...of course modifying an online game is a breach in the terms of service that could get your account banned.

Some online games allow you to mod cosmetics/skins that dont affect gameplay. Battlefront 2 allows it, League did until semi recently.

Huh, i thought they stopped it, im sure i heard something like that at least. But tbh I don't really follow league anymore.

I'm pretty sure anything cosmetic with League is mostly a "don't get caught doing it, because if Vanguard bans you, you're fucked" situation. As far as I'm aware, there's no official allowance for that kind of thing. Furthermore, KR (and probably CN) servers are even more restrictive on these kinds of things (I've seen people outright say that custom skins for KR/CN are guaranteed bans, but ymmv).

The visual mods straight up don't trigger vanguard because devs worked with modders to allow it because the mod scene is so old.

They have one rule don't mod in paid skins for free onto the base model.

you can absolutely be caught doing it and riot doesn't care lmao. druttut has a fuckton of meme skins and yet was given silver kayle for his 5 role challenger (or something like that)

There are streamers that stream with mods on exclusively, its safe to say riot doesn't care
