Abuse of the( backslash E m command)

With all due respect when this specific command system has the ability to insinuate strong sexual graphic nature to underaged players in this game , am I to assume that you see nothing wrong with this behavior

It's not that anyone sees anything wrong with it, it's that your argument has been "I don't like how some people are using it, so just remove it," which is a stance that perfectly fits your forum name.

I will agree that any text entered into the /em command should be subject to the profanity filter when need be, but as I stated before, you don't remove a feature that 90% of the population uses harmlessly just because of the 10% that doesn't. Sometimes systems just need to be tweaked, not removed altogether when they don't work.

Again, this is an MMO. As such, it's an online game.
You could get strong, sexual graphic nature just from browsing these forums if you looked hard enough. It's the internet. Do your kids not have access to a computer? Should your computer just automatically filter out profanity because you're too lazy to supervise your kids? No.

It's up to parents to supervise their kids. You might as well shelter them from the entire world if you don't want them exposed to that kind of stuff. TV, YouTube, Netflix, is full of sexual content.

And to be honest, FFXIV's degree of "sexual online players" is far less than the amount of normal players. I play on Siren and haven't seen any "ERP" anywhere (Whereas a server like Balmung may have more of it)

Also, being a subscription based MMO, any "underaged" players can't possibly pay for this game themselves, which means their parents are paying their sub. Which means, if deemed inappropriate, the parent stops paying and becomes a responsible parent. Simple as that.

Don't punish players who use the tools of the game correctly for FUN purposes because you just happened to witness a few bad apples.
