On my server I've been noticing some fishy PF messages lately. Something like: "Looking for strong indipendent women who wants to earn some gils. Join our Inn, RP required."

Further investigation has proved that there is people hiring irl girls, who ''entertain'' guests in their ''inn''. Of course, this service is provided with specific fees, which do not involve irl money or identities, as far as I know.

I guess the bohemian mindset behind this kind of entertainment in game can't be argued, since it is inoffensive as long as it is confined in our private gaming session, without texting explicit stuff in /say or /shout. Then again... I can't help to consider it a show of bad taste, since it is presented like... well, you got it, I'm not sure this can be discussed in this forums or not. And I've been wondering... is this kind of attitude in FFXIV commonly accepted by its community and GMs? Can it be carried out without sanctions?
