Constant Vulgarity in Public Chat. WHY is this allowed?

[Skivvy]

If you need the public chat to socialize with others you are anyways lost in my eyes. Nobody needs the public chat tbh, it's just memes and advertisement anyways. People talk on discord, in linkshells or fc chats and even groups. If you really want to "not play the game alone" then do that instead of crying about something that isn't used to socialize anyways.

Ehhh, I'd disagree with that. Public chats can have a lot more varied topics as more people are involved, lets you meet new people, and you can pop in and out as you like.

Roleplay and “soft content” is the only thing left for many people to do in the off-season. The current tier is largely over and we won’t get a new one for another few months. Everything between now and then is just casual story mode and weekly facerolls. So people have to fill the void. Like it or not, nightclubs keep a lot of people subbed to the game. It’s good business and helps the world feel alive. It also helps that FFXIV has one of the most active and robust modding scenes in gaming, which makes gpose, housing, and erotic content very popular. All of those are intertwined with the nightclub scene and share a playerbase that props this game up during the droughts. Without that, what are you getting? A bog-standard sword-and-sorcery MMO? This isn’t WoW, this is FFXIV. Enjoy the modding tools, get jiggy with your friends, and shake your booty at a nightclub. It’s Final Fantasy, darling!

Are we still calling afking in someone's house RP?

Omg op.
Vulgarity ? Who cares, this isn't a Church
Ads? Ok yes annoying, just blacklist them
But being the topic subject is about vulgarity, not the ads. Grow up.
Don't even report it. Acting like were all in child day care.

We are talking here about the shout/yell chat tho, not the say. Cause that is where the advertisement is usually posted. And these are rarely used to talk and socialize normally cause it is a nuisance to other players, since socializing is not posting quick one ad message but rather ten in under a minute...which can easily drive console players to insanity.

And that was what OP was talking about, right? But it kinda doesn't make sense, since these two chats are usually not used to socialize like ever. So you can turn them off without turning yourself into some sort of outcast or hermit like OP says.

Have to say tho my wording there was a bit off, since say is also a public chat. What i meant is the shout and yell, not say. Say is usually used for socializing yeah but not for spamming advertisements, except some gil sellers ofc but well that's not the topic here.

Zenos, you cheating bastard.

[SassyAssassin]

Zenos, you cheating bastard.

Please don’t worry too much, the bastard was screaming your name some times and a bunch others, I slapped him for it but he liked that

[Rokke]

I think they aren't actually rpers. That's the thing lol.

I could be wrong tho, idk.. I'm not one so I don't really interact with that part of the game.

they're not. the clubs aren't rp venues, they tend to be just people afk while /beesknees or a handful of people talking in say while /beesknees.

Wonder why they're even on Dynamis, I don't think anyone even has a house to afk in there yet lol

So I guess Zenos and I had more in common than I thought. I too like a slap from time to time.
