Why so many 18+ related player events in the party finders

They barely existed. People were discussing raid optimization in Idyllshire chat and theorycrafting rotations on Reddit.

You see less public chats overall because of discord but that stuff is still going on too.

This again??

- Online interactions are not rated by the ESRB
- ERP Has been part of MMOS for at least 20 years. Are you new to online gaming?
- If you're letting your 13 year old child play an online game without supervision, you're an awful parent/guardian.
- Why do you care about what consenting adults do or don't do in private venues?

Don't deny there is a massive cultural shift in the game lmao

The game's culture today is completely unlike what it was in HW. When was the last time you see people making a thread about raid opti on Reddit?

I'm afraid that those are the main people keeping this game alive at this point, so, they'll probly never do anything about it or plugins

I started cackling when an innocent miqote chick arrived with a friend and the friend started being wild and freaky and the poor miqo exclaimed "My goodness! I had no idea you were a lady of the night!"

Is the innocent miqo'te you observed a time traveller from the 1920s perchance? Who says "lady of the night" anymore?

So why is there so much player events that publicly annonce (ERP) has a service like giving "courts" terms and "NSFW" terms.
If square-enix wants new generation of players, shouldnt they do something about it?

ERP PF listings are against the ToS but the GMs aren't going to go out of their way to look for them. Report them when you see them and they will take action.

people going on about online age ratings when the user agreement says "The Game is for players aged 13 and older. You agree to behave accordingly." ultimately, like the whole mod/plugin/botting scene in this game, it's because of SE's lack of meaningful enforcement. why would players care about censoring themselves if there aren't consequences for their actions, lol.

I think they go the route that if nobody's really complaining then why bother doing anything about it.

The answer to that is easy.. while you can play the game at 13+, you need to be 16 or 18+ (depending on where you live) to actually have an income. And obviously not every minor is going to ask their parents to pay for a monthly sub for them, let alone get a yes answer... so it makes sense that most players are 18+. It's only sad however that most games however seem to focus on degenerates, that I agree with...
