RP shout ads are obstructive to chat and gameplay

[Padudu]

It actually does interfere with gameplay, as someone who's played this game since beta I can confirm this. You know how many people used to use shout chat for game related stuff 6 years ago compared to now? There used to be tons of content related shouts, from fate chains to hunt trains and savage carries at random , every day there was something. Now, the few things that do get shouted are swiftly buried under a pile of venue ads. It's taken over shout chat and completely destroyed the spontaneous random activities that many people joined in on, for what? So people can gather and violate tos with their mods and listen to a twitch dj stream stuff while they loop emotes? Myself and thousand upon thousands of players are forced to miss out on game related content because only mod dancing and nudes matter? We are all paying customers here. No side is more entitled than the other. Hence the suggestion to have a seperate place for community event advertising so people can use shout chat again without it being a constant wall of spam

Beta was over 10 years ago at this point. What you're experiencing is time changing, culture changes lol. FATE trains, hunt trains, ect still exist. It's just all in PF now because it's easier to post there than to shout in city chats. Just a thought.

Also savage carries in this day and age. LOL You pay for that now.

The culture was changed due to SE not moderating the game properly. Going lol about it doesn't change why it's bad, not all change is good and needed. stop the cap.

It's called appealing to wider audience, they don't stop it because it's ultimately not harmful to the games performance or profitability. It's not like people would stop using faloop discord or equivalent services and go back to le good ol times of manually visiting every hub and shouting things even if the ad spam were to disappear overnight, so why bother trying?

SE moderates the game plenty tho, it doesn't break the ToS therefore it's allowed. I find it fine lmao - but I'm also able to ignore it. Going "ITS NOT LIKE THE OLD DAYS" doesn't help either, because again, it's been a good 10 years from then to now. Have you considered, like, the average player has changed lmao. For example most people don't even touch savage content. A lot of people haven't even touched HoH/Eureka/PoTD. Most people do very, very casual content. There's no cap, you're just coping.

No, the ToS is too Vague to push proper moderation and We literally had a thread recently of a girl being stalked for 3 years on here showing SE moderation is weak and needs to be fixed. Also GMs aren;t even sure about the Moderation of the RP chat spam because it's been an issue off and on as well. The cope is for anyone blindly believeing SE GMs do their job at all in this game xD

Except they've been pretty clear when it venue advertisements cross the line or not, I've seen RP ads get moderated when they step over the "other" tab, most RP venues don't spam beyond a certain point (and don't spam as much as FC ads, anyways), ect. SE Mods aren't perfect, ofc, nothing is, but RP in general has been touched upon by GMs repeatedly lol.

RIP Stalker girl though, yes moderation can be shit, but with RP ads at the very least it seems to be fine.

The cope is you believing that a MMO would be the same as it would be 10 years ago. It's just not. The audience has changed and it's just not for you, babe. Hell, even RP culture has changed from back then to now. Lots of it was contained to forums back then, now the FFXIV RP Forum has shut down because discord exists.
