Regardless if people don't like RP, RP is in-game content, it is a tag we may use /roleplay. It is on our housing designation RP is otherwise known as Immersive experience, eateries, taverns, florists, etc. It is in the very story of you the Warrior of Light Hero and Savior of the Star. When you step in and play as an NPC your buff literally reads 'roleplaying'. That RP is considered content within the game itself cannot be disputed. As for those that want it gone from the party finder well the other tab can be filtered out with ease and cease to exist if the PF for those people. You can filter out everything and effectively even shut it off completely. The PF itself is highly customizable, The place RP venues often advertise is in the other tab, which again with unchecking the box, it disappears completely.
There is not even a need to /blacklist. Simply filter it out completely in the PF.
I am sure many of us see this often: Of the 84 parties currently recruiting, all match your search conditions. Those are what you have filtered.

While filtering it out isn't disruptive to your gameplay or RP'ers even advertising their venues, or events. Forcing RP'ers out of the PF IS disruptive to theirs as it is discriminatory and uses a false narrative. Which is against the ToS.
3.2 Disruption. You may not in any way disrupt or interfere with the Game experience of other players, including the disruption of Square Enix's computers and servers.

PF ads for RP have already been cleared as acceptable by GM's, there is definitive proof of that. Yet this is about a crusade on RP this is about people weaponizing the GMs against other players.

According to SE's own website within Game manuals: The Party Finder allows players to recruit adventurers on the same World or data center who share common goals. - https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game_manual/pp/ - There is nothing here that specifies the goal nor anything about 'content'. People can gather in a place, such as instanced dungeons, open world, or instanced housing.


A good call to attention are other T rated MMORPG's such as WoW, which has mild swearing throughout as this game does (don't attempt it, not worth it.) and not only seen alcohol consumption but player consumption and sale therein, even a drunk effect, (don't fly drunk in WoW, its terrifying). Guild Wars 2 another MMORPG not only has in-game drinking but players can partake in drinking contests. Just to name two.

Now that said, we are simply attempting to figure out what is and isn't against the ToS, because the same rhetoric run around and vague dance around answers are troubling. So then that leaves it up to us, the players to do our due diligence and figure out what is and isn't acceptable with clear cut lines in the sand that we aren't getting from official sources. All without getting banned.
