Asmongold on NSFW mods

[Caurcas]

SE could implement a file check on boot up to detect any modified assets and prevent a game launch. Third party tools like ACT have a place, but these disgusting mods do not. Players and modders alike should be banned for using and creating them.

So other peoples fun should be ruined because you don't like it. Hmmm very mature of you.

That's the issue being discussed here. About how the NSFW community has become so brazen as to be giving interviews to famous streamers.

This right here sums up this whole situation. Yoshi P has stated not to post NSFW stuff on social media and the like. There's no way to know who has what modded unless they post or stream it. Its easy to ignore people streaming with ACT and the like but that NSFW stuff can and will get people in hot water.

Its not a situation about who has what installed, thats between you and [deity of choice/national cyber security spy network]. Its the fact that its being posted for others to see.

This interview isn't just bad for the NSFW community its bad for the modding community as a whole. If they decide that the grey 3rd party tool section is now black and white, all mods/modders will suffer.

Which would be a pain for all players, if you ever had the pleasure to use the repair option for corrupted files etc. you know it takes a very long time for games etc. to check through all the files and check them with non corrupted ones. Since ofc the launcher would have to compare every file and every texture with the respective not modded texture.

So yeah, it would be an option. But it would come at the prize of all players waiting an hour until the game checked every last file every time they want to boot up the game. xD

Edit: To be fair SE would just have to check the emperors new breeches file and that would filter out probably 99% of all players using mods. ^.^

I think people can and will turn everything they can into lewd content and there's not much SE can do except make a point of roflstomping anyone they catch doing it in a public venue.

Yep, pretty much this. And the important thing to consider is that it's not even just about individual responsibility when it's something that can potentially impact the game as a whole in negative, potentially even legal, ways. It's not about moralizing or saying that only adults can/should see or do things. SE and FF14 in general could be damaged by this if it becomes the widespread image of 14, as YoshiP himself has said. Remember that the biggest news story about 14 post ARR and before the immense success of Shadowbringers was when YoshiP was asked in that Q&A about the "adult" content in the game. That was a pretty major black eye for the game. And Japan also has some rather stringent if strange censorship laws regarding nudity, and I doubt it would matter in Japanese court if it was something some modder made as long as it was attached to the public face of the game.

Go to twitter and type FFXIV, go to images, and there's a very high chance that within the first 10 images there'll be a NSFW one.

Twitter has a safe search option. If you disabled that then of course you might see something that's NSFW.

Balmung and Mateus as far as i know. You can always switch to EU! We don't have such erp servers.

But even Balmung can be relative normal, just stay as far away from the quicksand as possible. I was playing for like 2 years over there cause my BF is from NA. At some point you get used to getting messaged by complete strangers which ask for erp and are creeps. xD Not to mention that i am a lalafell...

I have played on Balmung sicne it began. I have never seen out right sex in any location (including the quicksand.) I know there is ERP on the server, but it's usually localized to houses or private chat. I have also never gotten any unsolicited tells regarding being propositioned. The statement that Balmung is an ERP server is false. Yes it is an RP server, but to think that it's just sex all the time is a blatant lie.

Could be a temporary measure, used to deter these types of players from being that way.

So all these "naked" people standing in the quicksand or humping each other in the back alley next to the quicksand are in fact just innocent players just enjoying their 2b pants.

I can swear to you if i create an alt over there and go to the back alley or into the quicksand you can see many many players just sitting on each other doing...well...things. xD

I mean yes ofc they do it in group chats which i am thankful for. But yeah as i said, when i played on crystal i also got messaged a lot even tho i am not a erp fan at all.

Sure it's not sex all the time but hey most of the time is enough, i guess. Just check peoples bios. xD Still have a screenshot of one selling erp for gil, as i said just look at the character informations on players in the quicksand. <shrugs>

Edit: What most people here are about isn't that 2 adults shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they want. They are more about that there are many lil underaged sprouts running around in the game and people on Balmung etc. ask frequently total strangers for nasty things and yes i can speak out of experience here. They don't check your age or anything, lol.
