I absolutely agree with Christmas Fork about avoiding the modsquad, but I had to put this little gem up here just because of how it just infuriates me:
I put the real juicy bits in bold, this post has some decent arguments, but then the rest reads like a Bray Wyatt promo, and #2 on the list of items really chaps my ass, mainly the last half, the audacity to insist that a mod "fails" when the people who like it don't kiss your feet and worship it like a god just goes to show how no one either in the group or affiliated knows how modding works. Even if he didn't mean for it to read like that, its still so stupid to try and say that you know all and the "final product" (which in modding never truly happens, there is always something you could work on guaranteed) is perfect is just moronic) I once did some mods for a game called Hearts of Iron 2, a strategy game with no editors, no tables to cheat off us, me and several others had to work tirelessly and effortless to research historical figures most people have literally never heard about in 60 years, and what did we get, some people played it, and then nothing. Was it our faults for not going the extra mile and putting in that little 110%, no, it was the fans of course, its not like they helped to contribute and play it, no, we only did it for king and country, give me a break.
Modding is hard, but so is life, I really hope the EWB mega modding faction pulls through and so do more people on all forums to go on to create fun fantasy wrestling nerd simulators.
TD;DR ModSquad went from me seeing them as good mod makers and nothing more to being EA without the loot boxes. Lets all make better mods
