Are we blaming the parents of the victims now? The rating is T not M. Blame falls to the people taking advantage of minors. They are the ones committing a crime. Teens have been playing MMOs, since they came out. They and their parents should be able to feel safe playing a game meant for Teens and up. You should not remove teens from video games, because pedophiles want to take advantage. You are effectively punishing the wrong group.

But yes, ERPers should absolutely use 3rd party apps. They should also make sure they are not allowing minors to join. They should also keep an eye out for pedophiles trying to use their 3rd party platforms under their noses.
And how exactly are they going to make sure minors don't join? They gonna start asking people for their IDs? You think that a kid can't just lie and say they are 18?

lol Are they going to do things like "mic required" so they can try to gauge someone's age range? That would be incredibly creepy, actually.
