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

I mean, I don't RP or ERP so I don't understand this thread at all. What others do with their time has no bearing on what I experience and choose to do in game.

If it doesn't impact you, fair enough, yet some of us do role-play and so it does effect us when this sort of thing ends up being what passes for 'role-play' within the community. If it was truly out of sight and out of mind then it'd be easier to dismiss. Just like it'd be easier to dismiss if the game wasn't increasingly catering to venue goers at the expense of those of us who enjoy other aspects of the game.

I don't understand this argument either given nearly all new content is battle-oriented for the most part. Every patch we see is almost all "other aspects of the game" with maybe a few cosmetics or house items that people can enjoy whether they ERP or not.

Outside of these posts, after 1000 hours of gameplay I haven't encountered this issue once - maybe because I don't look for it.

I do understand that perhaps if you RP you will run into it a bit more - but you can simply not join those guilds or go to those houses. In ESO where I created an RP guild that became a full time job to create storylines for (but is still active after over 3 years, though I handed over GM), there were ERP guilds. I actually accidentally joined an ERP guild based on Dibella (Goddess of Art, Friendship, and Sex) that was advertised as friendship, but when I went to RP they shared that all RP ends with public orgies with "real women" *snicker*. I let them know they were all nice people but not the environment I was seeking and left. There are a fair number of ERP guilds in ESO and their existance didn't scar me, make me witch-hunt for possible ERP with minors, or afraid to RP elsewhere.

Folks. This is what the 18+ modders really want. This affects us all.

Oh please, stop trying to label all ERPers and modders as pedophiles or people who support pedophelia. It's gross and offensive.
