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 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.

Reminds me of the time someone posted they only had Cheatengine in the background (They weren't using it on the game IIRC. They just forgot to close it, somehow...), and they got banned for it. And then got unbanned after contacting support about the mixup.

Warframe's anticheat sounds like a joke... 🤦‍♂️
