Purge ERP from this game!

[Arazehl]

99% people keep it private, dont they?

Keeping it private doesn't protect you though. It can be private and still garner a mark towards your account, if one or the other decides to make a report on it, maybe because you weren't that good or anything dumb. Then it is in violation and your account will be flagged. The thing is even with two consenting adults, if you just met this person for the first time in an ERP club there is a risk that they can report you after the fact, and it too counts as a violation.

YoshiP didn't say "sure you're safe if it's private" rather he states if you get reported we'll plant a pretty red flag on your account with the word warning on it in bright neon, private or not. In some cases even without a report they can give you an obscenity warning. So basically he says "be careful". That to me is not a confirmation that ERP is okay or not okay. It means the responsibility falls in your lap as does your account and there's no arguing your way out of it if reported.

More and more I see is certain people not being careful, but blatantly advertising it to the public with full invitation to take part. All just because they read portions of the violation policy, and twist it to mean something they can live with. That's when it falls outside the lines of private and made public. Offering up a service to the public, (which we all know it's a paid service even if it's virtually paid) puts into question this company's long standing reputation and what something like this could do in the long run if it gets out of hand. Which it is a strong possibility if you think about.

I'm not against private ERP, or the SFW venues. I'm against clubs who purposely advertising it to the public and the advertising of hiring "courts" to preform these services or that some misguided pre-teen behind a monitor feigning their adulthood to join in what these types of clubs are offering publicly. I question where are the boundary lines when it comes to this type of thing. What's next "billboards on highways"?

It "will wash" if you can prove the person you were talking to wasnt a child, and you can prove that via chat logs.

if you didnt ask someone their age, that's on you of course.

but if you did, the fault is not yours.

I dont really care just here for the memes but voice changer is a thing also alot of teens can sound adult....

The title says it all

There is only one acceptable purge in this game. "Sickness must be purged!". So please just sit down Karen/Ken.

I’m a Karen because I want ERP to be removed from a game that has children and teens playing? Stfu dude.

I don’t get it. I’ve read through some of the rebuttals, and I just don’t get it. Either some of you are trolling in response to what you already believe is a troll post, or you generally believe that ERP belongs in FFXIV.

No where in this entire thread have I said that ERP is inherently wrong. I have said that there is a place for it, and that place is not in a video game marketed to consumers of all ages.

Your behind closed doors argument, your let people do what makes them happy argument, and your don’t partake if you don’t like it arguments do nothing to refute what I am saying. You have two options because this topic really IS black and white:

1. You believe ERP and by definition cyber sex belongs in FFXIV

2. You believe that behavior belongs in other platforms more appropriate for their user base

Telling someone to grow up does nothing. I personally believe some of you are culprits which is why you react the way you do. I realize I’m essentially yelling at a brick wall, but hopefully one-day SE will take actual action against this. However, considering Japan produces some of the most perverted media known to the world in the form of anime, it’s unlikely.

Like I said you are massively overreacting. You have the most useless approach to the problem you see. If you actually wanted to protect the children (which I always have trouble believing people like you), you would advocate for parents and schools to have proper sex ed. Kids will only be able to protect themselves from harm if they know what's going on and if they have a person to talk about what makes them uncomfortable.

Imagine the workload and the amount of moderation you'd have to put in place to purge all sexual roleplay from the game. That sounds like a money sink.

To purge ERP from this game, they must do this:

1. Stop adding lingerie to the game, there is no need for underwear and skimpy nightwear.
2. Rework 2B leggings and boots or delete them altogether.
3. Stop adding mini/micro skirts, and tight high boots.
4. Delete the Dance Pole furniture.
5. On top of all of this, Ban all Mods. Let's face the truth Mods are one of the main reasons why these people ERP.

This is obviously never going to happen because sex sells and they know that.

I believe erp belongs anywhere that adults congregate and want to do it, so yes, it does belong there. I myself do not erp, with the exception of on discord, I just find the limitations of XIV's chat system makes it a pain in the arse when I prefer longer posts for any rp situation. I just feel that banning things is stupid.

Oh wow, I haven't logged into the forums for a couple of days and said to myself "Man, where is the front page troll thread? There's usually at least one!" Here it is!

Disagree on all 5 claims.
