GM Responses, Roleplay Advertising, and Party Finder - Megathread

I support the statement fully, and if you look up WoW’s rating and esrb it is also T for teen. Yet why is it not a problem there? The same multi-country legality extends to them as well. Sure, we can debate different devs, different ideals, different personal morality all day long, but if we’re going to hold someone to a guideline that earns strikes against them culminating in a ban....We need something other than “you are expected to behave yourself”. “Behaving yourself” is opinion based and can vary widely based on perspective.

Uhh, either your blissfully ignorant in regards to what you're talking about, or being willfully deceptive. Do a Google search of 'pornshire' and you'll find that the first 3 1/2-ish pages are dedicated to the ERP that is common place Goldshire, a small village that is in a level 1 starting area for Humans. And it has been known as such since about Cataclysm or Mists of Pandaria so it's certainly not a recent development. For those that don't want that in their search history - https://www.google.com/search?client...-d&q=pornshire

The difference between the two is that WoW's community is a bit more gruff, rough, and tumble. XIV... not so much, at best it's a bunch of idealists projecting how they feel it should be, or at worst it's a bunch of sjw's finding a soapbox to stand on. And no, I'm not trying to turn this into a talking point, just firing thoughts into the void, but feel free to respond just don't expect one in return.

I’m well aware of it, used to play on moonguard. Not sure you understood the point I was getting across. Both games are T for teen, it is not a viewed “issue” there, but it is in this community, and it’s garnering account actions.

Ah, apologies then, I did take it the wrong way. ^^;

Players can and do get banned in both games if they're caught doing anything naughty or inappropriate in public chat channels. In some cases, they can even be banned if they're doing it in private but one of those responsible for the act decides to raise awareness of that fact. Maybe due to a falling out or a grudge and they decide to report a former friend knowing what goes on behind closed doors.

Just speculation, but I've heard stories in passing of that happening.
