    Out of sight, out of mind.
    I haven't looked at PF in months and I generally stay either on my Island, FC house or am otherwise out in the world doing something else that does not involve AFKing in any city hub so whatever is happening in those locations is not really my concern. On the rare occasion that I do pop into a major city like Limsa for a seasonal event or some such, I have only ever seen someone actively RPing once in my 10 years of playing and it wasn't even something inappropriate but just genuine Adventure flare.
    This whole ERP thing seems like more of an issue on these forums than the actual game honestly.

So if that is the case you have to then turn the games ToS and user agreements which in 14's case is very clear you agreed to behave appropriately for 13 and older.
    100% this. The ESRB warning is just that - a warning. It's not free reign to publicly advertise ERP in a T-rated game. SE obviously doesn't agree though lmao.

    ESRB always (including for FFXIV) explicitly states it does not rate "Online Interactions". The T rating is for the content of the game itself, not whatever nonsense other players spew at each other.

    I barely notice people shouting about them in the cities, and that's literally the extent of their existence for me as I don't typically spend my time wandering into other people's houses.

    Because of this, "Taken Over" seems like quite a reach to me.

    It probably shouldn't bother anyone that it exists. It's just more of a question of divided interest I think. If I'm playing FPS games then it's very easy for me to find others to play with, it happens naturally. There's not much else to do in a FPS but queue up for a game mode and play.

    But for a MMO you have a lot of activities, and it can be a bit worrying to have a social imvu-esq scene over taking the natural activities of the game. Not everyone needs to be doing extreme/savage/ultimates, but you would hope that the majority of the population of the game would be more interest in different activities across the game(and there is a lot that isn't just MSQ extreme+).

    It doesn't interest me and I don't worry about it. If the advertising does happen to briefly get my attention I feel a relatively balanced mixture of amusement, tolerance, and both mild annoyance and mild curiosity. Then I continue with whatever I was doing.

    Let them do what they will. I don't really care.

    And just leave them to their devices away from the rest of the game and away from people who want no part of it.

    That's just me though. If SE and Co. disagree, its their game.
    That's actually quite a good idea!

    I dont follow FFXIV night life scene, but I still think its kinda cool how much effort these clubs put in it. Its basic human nature, they want to socialize, find new people etc like in irl club. But its much easier to do so in virtual world. All power to them.

    I say, live and let live. Dunno why are people so offended that other have different fun than theirs in this game.

    Whoever is offended by this have very sad life and I pity you, as its easy to ignore.

    Yes, it did. Because if you are not interested in farming pointless achievements or stacking item level then there is nothing interesting to do in the game atm.
