Yikes you really missed the mark with that one. Nobody is trying to shut down any venues, anywhere. Feel free to read the op and comments. I've never reported a party finder advertising a venue of any kind, nor have I claimed to. Infact, this thread isn't even about pf listings being a problem, and the only issue mentioned about pf ads in this thread is by people talking about duplicate ads for the same venue. Nobody is trying to prevent players from interacting with venues, or telling them not to. The tos violations are very clearly spelled out , in regards to what I've mentioned. Feel free to read over the prohibited actions and the user agreement to confirm this. The only reason they're able to get away with it is because the GMs are allowed to use a certain level of "discretion" in their decisions. It's already a well known fact that there's tons of groomers etc in XIV, in the venue scene confirmed many times over from people who are on that scene, or used to be. FFXIV is not intended for adults, its intended for people aged 13+. You want to talk about advertising, ok. These venues straight up advertise prostitution, publicly, in shout chat. They server hop, and city hop, shouting the same thing with a macro. That would be the equivalent of a brothel advertisement interrupting the 6 o'clock news, not the signs on the side of the road that say "girls girls girls". So your comparison for advertisements and party finders is way off. The venues themselves and their activities don't bother me at all , idc what people do in their private spaces etc. But advertising smut in public places where there are children is not acceptable. There's no defending it. Does fox kids have random prostitution commercials during the commerical breaks? Or the news? Or literally anywhere? No, because common sense.
