Language Filter Is Crap

[lydiah]

What in the world does this have to do with being offended? The language filter should work properly, and it doesn't to an extent. I don't care for swearing, but I leave it off since it will filter in the weirdest way possible with no cursing involved.

It has everything to do with being offended. The reason why people don't like seeing swear words IS because people are offended by them, if they werent or if it was just another random word for them they wouldnt care.

Only a very minor number of player think that the profanity filter is in bad shape, to me it works as it is. Spending time and development ressources, which are finite, on something as trivial as this because a person get offended is selfish and ridiculous. I would rather have them focus on way more important things than to cater to people unable to play with others because "someone said a word that I didnt like".

OP didn't said anything about he's pOV on bad words, cause that's not the point.

Stop being uselessly aggressive, it just seems like you jump on difensive cause you feel guilty but instead of supporting or explaining you hide behind a fake "that's how the world is".

The filter isn't working properly, I don't know well in which way cause I don't use it. Some people addressed some ToS, if you can't but be a **** just move on.

So wait.. OP is allowed to express his opinion on how the filter is not working properly and is allowed to defend his PoV regarding said filter but I am not allowed to because if I do I'm being a and I quote "****"? Please. That IS how the world is, first of all, just go outside once in a while you'll see. Also I am not being aggressive, I'm tired of seeing posts such as this complaining about ridiculouly small details of the game. If OP really did want to have this be modified to his wishes, he would post in the appropriate section fo the forums :

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...ck-Suggestions

Instead of posting in General Discussions with a title that is inviting debate. Saying something is "crap" will undoubtedly provoke reactions on both sides of the fence. If you can't handle that, maybe YOU should move on.

Ok so quit bashing the op geeze. The original post never said anything about being offended, thy said they would rather not see it. Everyone has their reasons and the negativity helps no one.

Got to love how that link got shortened, given the topic.

If you don't want to see even that stuff, you should probably just go back home and crawl under your bed, because that's about the only place you won't find it.

Those terms are all even said (more or less) by numerous NPC dialogue.

Completely agree with this...but still the idea of a custom filter is nice and easy to do.

That link is a part of the forum about suggesting things about the website. Says so right in the sticky. Of course people don't read and it's misused a lot, but that's definitely not the place for this suggestion.

Example: myself and several others posted there about how setting your main job as ninja on the forum wasn't an option. And they took a while but did eventually fix it.

You are absolutely right, I just reread the sticky at the top and it is indeed intended for the website itself.

I am not bashing anyone, I am expressing my opinion same as OP. I apologize if the purpose of this thread was so that everyone who agrees with OP can comment and all others "move along". As for my negativity, I don't believe I have been. If you found yourself offended by what I said I apologize but at the same time, and it goesback to one of my posts, if you can't handle other people or other people's opinion, or the way they discuss of things, maybe this place is not for you? It is the General Discussions forums is it not? I shall endeavour to be less abrasive in my replies if it makes you feel better.

I believe I did try (albeit wrongly) to offer assistance as to where to post this topic instead of the general dicussion forums.

I find the title ironic. Crap may not be a "bad" word, but you (the OP) used it like it was. "Language Filter is Crap" instead of "Language Filter is Sh***". If you're against swearing, why didn't you title the thread something like, "The Language Filter is bad". I'm getting very mixed messages. tl;dr OP, you think swear words are bad, but it's okay to use other words to imply them? I'm actually very interested to hear your beliefs on this.

When it comes to the thread subject, I agree that the filter isn't very good and I wouldn't be against an update. I turned mine off, but only because it filtered the most random things.
