Language Filter Is Crap

Even though I personally don't care.

The way the agreement is written if someone finds the profanity offensive they can report you.

The use of profanity could get you in trouble regardless of filter. So the way I view it is if it would get filtered you could get in trouble for it.

They also can kick you for no reason, the rule you mention is more of a way to report hate speech and abuse. Not because "he" said a bad word.

It states the game is for 13yr old children.

In most societies profanity is something most parents do not tolerate around kids.

Just because someone has not reported does not mean that nothing will be done.

I mean come on I had a buddy suspended for 72 hrs for announcing the person that pulled the hunt early.

The reason was name shame.

In the end it will be decided by the gm. Assumption is the mother of all evils and assuming that its just for hate speech could cost someone.

Abuse is also in the eye of the beholder. An example: I think a parent spanking a kid for being bad is not abuse but, someone else could and report it and you spend the next 6 month dealing with cps

Never seen someone report it let alone a GM care. And just talking about parenting your kid either is cussing at 13 or you probably banned them from video games at his point. I would not let my 13 year old on an mmo unless they where mature enough to play it (which then cuss words do not matter). You have very Christen sensibility, which is fine, but many people find over bearing or sheltering. I think there are may issues in the world that need attention much more then having someones kid be introduced to cussing at the age 13. There are jokes in movies about teaching kids cuss words at this point, society no longer cares as much.

Nope I could give a care about profanity. In fact I think its a bit stupid for any words to be labeled as a no no word.

I don't get mad if anyone cusses like a sailor. The only time it gets me mad is when it's aggressiveness towards me. As far as aggression toward me well when they play with fire

Most parents I know do not allow profanity around kids. They let them play games that are rated that is what the rating system is for. Are the a bit naive... sure.

As far as society no longer cares about it... outside society might not care about it but, in a professional atmosphere it can cost you.

In general society is a bit wacky... they have no issues with someone getting killed on live tv but, you show some nudity and all things go out the door lol.

This is the full ESRB rating for "Teen" :

Games with this rating contain content which the board believes is suitable for those aged 13 years and older; they can contain moderate amounts of violence (including small amounts of blood), mild to moderate use of strong language or suggestive themes, and crude humor.

Also, when you say parents do not tolerate it around kids you are absolutely right. If you don't tolerate it, don't let your kids play it. Oh wait but OP is an adult? To me, if you don,t tolerate it, don't look atit. Don't blindly report players who use strong language just because poor little you are offended by something that is being said in a game and in an anvironement where it is expected to happen.

Plus it is such a very small issue in comparaison to a whole world of things that devs could spend time on.

Nope, the game is rated 16, not 13.

Rated T in America, which is 13+

Rated T in America, which is 13+

The game, meaning the content and story, not the online content.

Online interaction is "Not Rated" or NR... which is usually considered worse that even an M or AO rating, similar to how bad credit is better than no credit.

It also has a "Bad language" warning.
And an "unrated content" warning.

If you don't want your kids around "bad words" (which they already know anyways, if they are 13 and going to school...) don't let them play FFXIV.
If you yourself don't want to see "bad words", don't play a game with this kind of rating...

The filter is terrible, and should just be removed, not upgraded...
