It was already posted ITT but the ESRB does not rate player interactions. It's outside of their purview, and it's impossible for devs to control what people say - people always, always, always find ways to express themselves with what they have. So if you see ERP in public channels report them and hope they get moved or warned by GMs since that kind of stuff is not okay to share with the world at large, but don't be dumb and think that a few knuckleheads typing obscene things into /say or /shout is a good reason to ban everyone under 18 from playing the game. That's what an M/AO rating would do. Almost everyone ITT has said that ERP should be kept private, regardless of how they personally feel about it- we don't want anyone of any age to be subjected to whatever stupid erotic fantasies someone is acting out if they didn't agree to be part of them.

Also, you know, XIV's community is pretty mild... kids who play PvP games like LoL or CS (or even just watch others play) have probably seen and heard more than you think.
