Little does everyone know it's actually every world that isn't Balmung. If you look at Crystal's PF, it's mostly Malboro and other worlds that should have been cut off to nu-Aether.

Yep. I see them for other servers wayyyy more often that aren't Mateus and Balmung. It was surprising to me, too. lol But sometimes the truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

It's probable that the very active Quicksand community on Balmung makes it less necessary to use the PF to find like-minded people than other servers. I don't know if Mateus has the same local community as Balmung, but I do know that a large number of RP-centric people migrated from Balmung to Mateus during the server reshuffle so people on that server would likely be more aware of Balmung's local community than other servers and just make use of world visit.

Possible and maybe there is a solution in that. I'm not familiar with any of it though.

There's really no way to 'solve' that. Most the RP community operates out of the game when organizing events and there really isn't anything SE can do about it. Likewise when it happens most people who ERP publically have the good sense to do it over DMs and/or move to a secluded location so accidentally posting into 'say' won't be of any consequence. Unless people are actively reporting each other for the content of what they're posting to each other making a solution is a wash. Which is part of the reason SE has to disavow ownership of online interactions.

Personally I'm not a fan of ERP for multiple reasons but as far as trying to find a proper solution the best SE can really do without relying on the players themselves is to keep events off of PF. They simply do not have the time more man power to comb through logs.

This is probably the best solution. Whatever people do in the privacy of their own whatevers is their business. If something questionable happens hopefully the right authorities are notified. I just don't feel like anyone needs to see it being promoted or encouraged through the PF, and that is where the problem lies with most people. No more PF listings? No more problem...for the most part. It would benefit SE to put that much more distance between themselves and a potential problem.

Nowadays teenagers don't insult people, don't watch porn, don't glam their character with some sexy/naked outfit, don't drink, don't smoke, don't talk about 18+ subjects noooo they don't, omg a PF with a 18+ sign? What a shaaaaame!

Seriously guys.....

If you are really worried about children on ff14 a MMO game, well ask to their parents why their child has internet, a pc and a mmo game with none control.

SE isn't your mum.

You seem to be missing the point of all of this. People just don't want to see PF listings related to ERP. Pretty much it. I don't think that's unreasonable.

And we can see some people who sell some raids, some RMT, random subjects (sometimes it's even fun), some characters who are looking for a husband or a wife etc etc welcome to MMORPG world it's not new at all and specific to FF14.

SE can't control that, just ignore the things you don't like, you know you will meet lots of diffrent kind of persons when you play online don't you?

I don't like the glam of a player?, i ignore, someone is spamming an emote? i go away or BL him/her, etc etc here it's the same, you don't like the subject of a PF, just ignore and don't go into it, problem solved.

How can you survive guys irl seriously if you overeact like this just for a subject in a PF.

If anyone is overreacting here, it's you. I'm not overreacting. Heck, I'm not even triggered by these things, but I do see them as a potential problem for SE. Some people want them gone entirely, and I don't think that's unreasonable either. In fact, I think that'd probably be the best solution for SE itself, so I can't help but agree. I can do all of that without being triggered or overreacting.

You are not wrong. But if the parents do their job, even if the minor lied to the other person, the ERP partner is in deep trouble (SE is going to wash their hands and provide any information required by the police). It's no different if an adult has sex with a minor he/she meet in a place that supposedly only adults can enter.

Anyway, no matter how much anyone want to wash their hands, if the police get involved the adult is going to be the main responsible for it and the one facing all the "real" consequences. The adult is the one that its supposed to know better.

Actually, this is incorrect. So long as the person reasonably believes the person they are interacting with is at the age of content, they can avoid any charges. Admittedly, I wasn't certain of this myself but googling around I found several articles. Bear in mind, this is Facebook and actual people involved not avatars in a fantasy world. I can't imagine ERP would go anywhere, legally speaking. Which is rather scary to think about.

Needless to say, this only makes parents being aware of what their children or teenagers are doing that much more important.
