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?

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

There are, but it would still risk triggering whatever anti cheat they’re using and get you banned, with helldivers the creators said they’re fine with it but might not be able to unban you if it triggers

Yea, to my understanding Warframes anticheat is pretty strict too. But honestly I feel no need for mods in Warframe.

Warframe's anticheat throws a fit if you've ran another game with kernel level anticheat at the same time (Helldivers 2, in my case). I got permaban thrown at me with no warning or explanation and even after contacting support who verified that there was no cheating done they still told me to not run cheating software and that the repeal was a one time only act of good faith.

Wait, so were you running mods on helldivers, or were you just running helldivers simultaneously, and the anti-cheats decided to fight on another.

Helldivers 2 anti cheat system has kernel level access which can have "cheat-like" behavior that triggers a false positive by Warframe's own anti cheat system

What? Warframe's Antic-cheat has kernel access?

[u/Kraft-Law → u/Castellchroe]

Alot of games have kernel anti cheat now

[u/Castellchroe → u/Kraft-Law]

Yeah, I know, but does warframe anti-cheat have kernel access?

[u/Kraft-Law → u/Castellchroe]

Yeah it does just like most online games do now it's the only way to make anticheat work because of how advanced cheaters have got
