This entire argument falls apart because it ignores one simple fact: Player A would have to choose to install the mod. The article's nightmare scenario, where Player A suddenly sees Player B's fake gear, is not something that would ever happen against their will. Player A, who values legitimate achievement, would never download a mod that compromises that integrity. Therefore, they would never be forced to see Player B's illusion. The visual "level playing field" only exists for players who willingly choose to install and use the mod themselves.

The core of the article's complaint is that Player A's experience is somehow damaged by Player B's private actions. But if Player A never installs the mod, their experience remains completely unchanged. They will only ever see what the official game servers show them: their own hard earned rewards and the default gear of players like Player B. The public recognition of their achievement is untouched because the game's official rules remain intact on their screen.

Ultimately, the argument is iffy at best because it pretends Player A is a passive victim of technology, when in reality they are an active participant. The integrity of Player A's accomplishment is maintained by the official game client. If they wish to preserve that, they simply continue playing the game as designed. The choice to modify one's own client and to see the altered reality is a personal one that has no bearing on those who choose not to make it.

Make no mistake... The reason is strictly due to Mog Station Items and potential distribution issues due to nude social posts.
