We're glad you guys are excited for the new emote to use in Free Company Housing beds, and understand many of you want to use it elsewhere as well. However, the team has decided against the use of this emote in other places to prevent the taking of not especially appropriate screenshots. Likewise, the new emote cannot be used on Inn beds because lying down on that bed logs a player out of the game.

I have to say I agree with this stance. World of Warcraft is especially bad with that sort of stuff and they don't got housing. So limiting these types of emotes to housing, is a great idea. It keeps the game world itself PG.

This game isn't a PG game.

You've got to be kidding me... This is the most absurd reason I've read in a while, like limiting emote locations will stop inappropriate screenshots! Seriously Devs, the internet is already crammed with those screenshots (ask google and tumblr) and they didn't have anyone lying in a bed, or on the grass, or wherever... so that horse was already shot in the head long ago...

I'm honestly a bit dissapointed in reading this. Mostly for the reasons.
Because:
- The game is already rated for mature audiences
- Preventing people to have fun and fool around

I never expected a group of funny and entertaining developpers to suddenly pull the fun out of something. Because they're afraid that a small percentage of people might abuse it for funny screenshots. Give people fun stuff to do in their free time. Last thing you want to do is make people take the game even MORE seriously.

It's the same company that removed several "an average lalafell day" videos and the animation glitch.

NO FUN ALLOWED

I think you should relook at the box of the game again. It's rated T for Teen, not M for Mature. So far the only "mature" content is tongue in cheek style stuff you'd see in any anime. Like the pugilist guildmaster enjoying watching kitty girls giggle and frolic in the lake, or whatever. Even the fate where you escort the courtesan is still clean in that the customer takes her on into a hut and you don't see either of them again till the fate respawns. But there's ERPers who prefer being way more graphic than SE ever intended. You don't blame the solution, you blame the problem that forced the solution.

I already mentioned that in my post you quoted. You never actually see the objectionable actions in game. Only the implied. Meanwhile, you got ERPers in the middle of cities making big scenes. So I cannot fault Square Enix for taking a hard stance against the stuff. And I have to commend them for making an effort to address this sort of stuff.

SE's content is rated Teen. Online content is not rated. Therefore any inappropriate posing that is done by the players, SE is not responsible for and doesn't fall under the Teen rating.

And the problem with this statement is exacly that, its a SCREENSHOT which is nothing else but a picture on someones computer.
