Once upon a time a little Miqo'te girl took a walk into the forest. "What a warm and beautiful day!" she beamed looking around for a nice spot to take a nap. "This looks like a mellow spot to post up" she murmured as she began her /doze aka /sleep motion.... but little did she know (even though S.E. had told ppl doing this outside of the fc house was bad mkay) her actions would summon THE GREAT FONDLE FAIRY BUM BUM BUMMMMM!!!!!!! Whos dastardly deeds and evil mustache twirling was known throughout the land for leaving a wake of shame and sadness in those who had felt his presents \ <^W^> /............... and thats why youz dont get to /sleep outside. the end <^.^>/

Thats a pretty big generalization. You do know there is a sexual orientation that does not care for sex correct? Or that some people play games to kill stuff not look at hot 3d models all day. Or that sex marketing is usually a tactic games use to cover up for being terrible games . There are far too many different types of people to make the generalization that everyone loves sex.

You played Tera too?

Wait, so Miqo'te don't get a sleep emote because "possibly sex"? Yet they give us a screenshot of a Miqo'te in a bathing suit and in a pose with much more perversion potential then their "Inn bed" sleep pose? (Seriously, place a "/sit" Miqo'te male in front of her face and whichever race/emote combo above her butt which uses the collapses onto hands/kneeling low down or, you know, just stand a Lalafell in that general vicinity. And that's not counting people getting creative with less obvious poses) Which is made all the more creepy because of the "little girl" pose with the legs.

Can someone please explain this to me? Because I don't understand.

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.

You're kidding, right?

Deny something the community wants because it could be used to take a "not especially appropriate" screenshot. I can't even fathom the number of ways you could get a "not especially appropriate" screenshot with what already exists. You're taking a single knife out of the kitchen because /that/ one could be used to stab somebody, nevermind the others.

Boo this man.

Says the one's who made this a legit gear-set:
xD

Coliseum DoM set and Miqo'te boots?

You played Tera too?

It was good for the first day or so.

[Mazi]

If that isn't a good enough reason then my god I just don't know what is.

Bolded for /thread

edit: 3am,cant sleep, exhausted and thought it said "a lalafell in the general vicinity" in the sense even standing close by xD it's all good though! /thread still applies!

By the way, if you or your friend play Maleqo'te while the other plays female, get undressed and have Maleqo'te doze on the bed (at least that's what I assume they're doing) and then have female doze on the bed (I saw a group joking/trolling around in a video with this). Congrats, you have now increased the game's rating from T to M.

Somehow, when the very same emote, when used by the different sexes of the same race, can be used to resemble that, the "precaution against inappropriate screenshots" rings somewhat hollow (also, since this restriction became known, I've seen people get even more creative, so this isn't just not hindering it, but seems to increase the behavior you didn't want).

And adding a Lala in the general vicinity will just make things worse/better (Ceilingfell is watching you... /doze).

sound like a lazy excuse for:

We didn't want to redo all the bed in Eorzea or
We didn't want to create a different emote to sleep on the ground.
