FFXIV being a teen rated game is only within the scope of the playable content that SE developed. It has nothing to do with what players choose to do within the game itself. Neither does it impose any hinderance, legal or otherwise, that would stop two consenting adults from engaging in lascivious behavior in private channels in the game.

The only thing at stake is the reputation of SE and the game. With regards to that, Yoshi P has come out and stated in a prior live letter that anything done within the game between two consenting adults is not their business so long as it's done in private channels. If it's done in public, or not all parties involved consenting (keep in mind that minors cannot consent), then report it if you see it and SE will take action against the offender/s if they are violating SE's policies. Or if the issue is egregious enough to run foul of real life law, they'll get law enforcement involved.

I get it, you don't like ERP. That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion. But your opinion is just that, an opinion. You can be upset about it as much as you want, but that won't change the fact that ERP is considered acceptable under specific circumstances. If it happens outside of those circumstances, then report it. Otherwise, it's simply just none of your business and you should ignore it.
Not upset but at all but its illegal in most countries for a adults to engange in sexual online interaction with a minor. Hence why people are punished for ERP in game when reported, two adults are fine but SE does not know which players are adults and minors. So they have to take action against those reported regardless of age.
