How do you feel now that XIV has become an evenue/egasm paradise?

[TheMightyMollusk]

Can't we just file this in the "things that aren't real problems" folder and move on with our lives?

If we just closed every "not a real problem" thread on this forum, we'd have maybe four topics left, and at least one of them would be complaining about where all the problem threads went.

That's also how Fornite is evolving. Becoming more of a social platform with ingame event than a game. It's proof that the game has gained in popularity (at least for the evenue part). I'm surprised SE hasn't done ingame event yet, because there is a market there.

Personally, I'm not a fan, went once in one of those club by curiosity, felt bored after 5 minutes then left. I don't understand the appeal, but hey, I'm not one to say how you should enjoy your life.

i was working on my house need some thing raised the guy kept saying rp = i let him out of my house and locked the doors lol and blocked him

I find the venues annoying and I wish people weren't allowed to spam their venue nonsense in chat- they attract the same cesspool of players to each one.

I turn off my chat which helps, since that's the only solution other than to stop playing IMVU-XIV

You could however also use the tab function the chat offers but it sounds like a problem people don't want to solve cause that was they can't get mad about other people having fun with the game. Bummer!

I'm sure players would appreciate something like that but square has been hands off lately with the game and I don't expect them to go beyond minimal effort for anything.

As much as I support and enjoy venues in game on an almost daily basis now, I think the chat spam about them in places like Limsa and Gridania has definitely gotten out of control. That said, there should be a better way to advertise them in game for those who DO want to see the ads. Ive discovered some great times and people from those ads, but can definitely see how they can be annoying to someone just wanting to play the game more traditionally.

Just going to repost a response I gave on this topic in another thread:

Speaking off my own opinion, I genuinely think the venue community exists to profit off players, not for the sake of RP as some would claim. It was understandable during the peak of the pandemic that venues would crop up to replace actual ones irl but I think a large majority that exist now exist simply because they realized there's gil in it or actual cash if we look at the DJ side of things via Twitch. It just doesn't sit right with me to profit off a community that used to just be free and open to everyone and now there's hardly any kind of non-monetized RP left. It's just sad coming from where it used to be a couple years ago where there was much more variety and now there's only clubs and brothels.

I also think the venue community is up there in terms of toxicity and use the excuse of "RP" to hurt other people but that's an entirely other story.

I'm genuinely curious - What are your thoughts, now that XIV has been taken over by the egasm and venue night life?

We complain about all of the spammed venue ads - But they wouldn't be advertising and so successful if you all didn't actually go there.

So I'm specifically asking older players - How do you feel about XIV now? And do you you avoid them, or did you fall into the pit?

You seem to know a lot more about this than I do. I know it happens but I don't see it somehow?

[Luluna]

I don't go to them not my thing and I am a lot older than most of the players probably. I wish the shouts where not every 2 mins though it is becoming annoying. I just go on my way and do what I do so it doesn't bother me to an extent just the shouts can be annoying.
The game has changed so much I guess things change over time. I feel sad that the game has changed from the high fantasy style to modern as it does add real life into the mix and I am here to chill and adventure so that does take a lot away. It is all the caps and trainers too even the NPC's are looking out of place with all the modern glams.

I would rather insults about "catboys" not grace the pages of this forum.

I would rather directed insulting gifs not grace the pages of this forum.

Where were you when those particular posts came up? Nah, I didn't think so. You found them amusing, right?

ROFL. Typical OF catboy L
