It isn't really a case of people taking to the moral high ground. Certain actions are almost universally looked upon with contempt and disgust in civilised, lawful societies - and quite rightly, too.

To say nothing of the fact that everybody playing Final Fantasy XIV agreed to abide by a specific set of rules. If those rules are breached, then there's a real risk of punishment and based on the severity of the action then things could very well be elevated and sent to the appropriate authorities.

Members of the development team have also spoken out in the past and informed people not to sexualise characters who are not of legal age and also to not make use of inappropriate mods - because such things could risk the game's very existence.
