Why so many 18+ related player events in the party finders

[Asari5]

the internet is 18+... whoever says something different doesnt know the internet.

[Tabmow]

Because this is how low and pathetic this "game" has become.

[Gurgeh]

a "crisis" lmao

it aint a crisis, you quite literally dont have to use them so... just dont ?

Also a massive amount of the playerbase on PC that you talk about uses them in one way or another.

Pretty much this too

Actually it could become a problem because this games social features are really poor. They made discord for FFXIV/XIV? and this game is 'still' unworkable without it. Now as this rrRampant sexualisation becomes more prevalent *and these PFs contribute by normalising this* it evermore becomes plastered in 'every' discord community.

I 'personally' don't like big bulging packages of meat and two veg on my hermaphrodite big hootered bun Bois for the same reason I don't like big bulging packages of meat and two veg on my male bunbois, because it 'hyper' sexualises the game, and it's not in keeping with the 'naive optimistic wholesome' FANTASY vibe that first attracted me to this game filled with it's exuberant smol folk and I find it 'Yuck!'. I make no apologies for my personal feelings about where I am comfortable with dealing with my own sexuality and where I am not. I just want to play a game.
I left one community because being in it was just spoiling the game for me.
But I'm starting to see it everywhere. This did not used to be the case. If I have to leave every discord the game will be unplayable. But a lot of these deviant discords of depravity are spoiling the game for me.

I'm poking fun at it because I know ill come across as a prude, but it's spoils the game for me, and there is such a thing as too much, and these PFs are part of a growing trend that DOESN'T NEED ANY HELP TO GROW. FFXIV players be thirsty enough as it is. Bonk!

As ever if it's just me then it's not a problem. I'll just have to leave. If it's not just me then there is a problem.
If XIVs X rated shenanigans becomes the viral meme that defines this game in the wider community outside of those that actually play it, maybe even to those that don't game, then this game's rep is ruined forever. It will just be "that game for wierdos", and people won't want to give it a chance. Then the game as you know it is FCKd. I'd like to see some Nintendo style IP protection on this matter. It's been taken too far for the games long term prospects. If I was in Blizzards marketing black ops team, this is what I'd be targeting.

Just do what you can SQX. I don't actually see what they can do. But the OP definatly has a point.

Don't deny there is a massive cultural shift in the game lmao

The game's culture today is completely unlike what it was in HW. When was the last time you see people making a thread about raid opti on Reddit?

this changed because of discord as well. That's where people discuss that sort of thing these days.

[NaoSen]

With mods FF is probably the most explicit online game by a mile, how I'd imagine second life to be if they brought out a 2.0 and the default assets were Final Fantasy themed.
Some venues even have their own mod packs.
Clubs openly advertise what's necessary in their discords or online games to see each other in a different way.

I am surprised SE hasn't had GM's join the groups and just go on ban sprees.

You're being intentionally obtuse. The game's culture has fundamentally hard-shifted to the current equilibrium. This is undeniable fact. In fact this game's culture was more like WoW during HW than what it is now.

I thought you said you were unsubscribing? It's been over a month.

He is one of those people who are always yelling they will unsub only to switch to an alt and keep posting nuclear toxic-level stuff. He probably forgot to switch to his sweaty alt..lol.

I've been playing since ARR, and I've seen the community culture shift dramatically over the years. Whether that change is good or bad is up for debate, but there's no denying it happened.

No I did. I came back because of the live letter, and another new in game social opportunity. I don't hold a grudge against the game. I'm one of those rare people who both uses the internet and sometimes changes their mind. Once e you factor in that you can use the forum for 14 days after your sub runs out it's was probably more.
But if you want to think a character posting on a forum is liar with no evidence and that they are lieing about a game, well I don't give a F.
