Constant Vulgarity in Public Chat. WHY is this allowed?

[Morganti]

I don't mean a dirty word here or there, I mean why is it there are giant ads for your brothels and nightclubs with 'services' basically ALL the time?

Ok, I didn't know about Balmung being THAT server when I joined but I leave for Seraph as soon as it was allowed and boom... here they are again, absolutely disgusting ads and ceaseless spam about adult topics and if you say a word against it YOU are the one with an account warning.

I love this game but I do not understand why this filth has to be in public channels ALL THE TIME.

Is there a server that has people focused on the game and not brothels and constantly putting down anybody who is not into that?

I know I can just turn off public chat but if I wanted to play a game alone I would not be on a MMO. I have played a LOT of MMOs and by FAR the worst about this is FF.

Welcome to Eorzea; you’re here forever

[LaylaTsarra]

Seraph is the RP server what did you expect?

[CaptainOblivous]

You could just black list them, right?

I'm curious as to what you consider vulgar. Like what are they saying exactly?

[Jeeqbit]

They are not all brothels. There is a lot of RP in the game and one of the top ways to generate the environment for it is to have a meal area like the Quicksand in Ul'dah or The Drowning Wench in Limsa Lominsa. These get recreated in housing areas. While other RP happens in the form of adventuring or something similar. But there was always a hidden section of the RP community that was into ERP.

Over time, that became less hidden. Balmung got locked and then World Visit released, so people who wanted to RP overflowed into other worlds and then just spread because they could visit back easily. Unfortunately, this overflow included the ERP so now it's everywhere. The game kept growing so we ended up with RP (and by extension ERP) everywhere. They are on all the data centers.

The ERP became more obvious with "18+" in the adverts always.

I don't run into a problem with it because I don't spend my time in places where people shout this such as Limsa Lominsa or Ul'dah. When I check Party Finder, I look at the specific category I'm interested in such as raids or trials. There is no reason to look at the Other category where all the RP adverts are.

If you do think it is vulgar, you should know that they won't do anything unless it's reported and that is pretty reasonable.

You cant really, because they just make a new character to spam more.

It's not just 1 person per venue/event doing it. They are like/are rmt spammers now.

Report and move on.

However, unless they're explicitly saying stuff against tos(which requesting 18+ in itself is not), nothing will happen. Implied text doesn't mean that they'll be auctioned.

I personally don't give a hoot. So long as the erp is behind closed doors itself (I don't want to read about anyone performing on someone else, sorry) I appreciate the scrolling chat. Reminds me there's other players around.

And I've seen worse. Like "church" guilds in wow harboring actually nonces.

How are they gonna spam their venues on seraph when there are no venues yet ? Except if you meant cross DC, which is a massive issue but wont ever be fixed
