Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

[Aniya_Estlihn]

Legit question... Let's pretend that the Party Finder is for content... Isn't role-playing content?

It is, actually. Yoshida himself has referred to RP as "player-made content."
RP features include- Housing, gpose, explore mode, fashion accessories, perform, emotes, fellowships and a dedicated RolePlay status, with more to likely come.

Yoshi P has said numerous times that they shifted part of their development cycle to further expanding the RP capabilities of FFXIV to make it a world people can "live in," this GMs actions fly in the face of this direction and I'm still baffled by how many people in this thread have replied in support of their personal crusade.

They have a personal personal agenda.

Edit: edited the wording to be more civil.

That's my point. It's absolutely content. It's a weird take for the GM to have. I'm willing to give them them the benefit of the doubt that think it's just some weird take on Terms of Service and not some personal crusade they have... Since sometimes, people do get weird takes on rules that aren't intended.

It's when they took action against the guy looking for a fishing buddy that got me. Fishing is definitively in-game content and doing it with someone can be both enjoyable and beneficial (pooling resources, whatnot).

I really want a screenshot of that PF. put it on signature to kind of support against this nonsense

The guy who was banned in question was outright advertising for ERP. There's a pinned post on r/sh*tpostxiv about it, and the exact conversation he had with the GM. This "fishing buddy" nonsense, is a joke.

yes, because a subreddit which routinely upvotes jokes about wanting to wipe out every account with a character on Balmung has a balanced take on RPing

Like you can slam that sub all you like but that doesn't make the post you quoted wrong
