Asmongold on NSFW mods

[Jadedsins]

Something being hinted at in a quest does not equal it being acceptable for players to partake of it themselves, though.

There's plenty of quests with swearing involved and yet people can and do earn a ban for saying naughty words in public chat channels.

No the world has this sort of things. So RPers are well within the right to do this sort of thing in private. The game has a lore that has sexual themes. So why is it from a rp stand point it is not acceptable to some of you when the story itself has it in the lore.



Like I said this is gatekeeping RP is it not?

Balmung and Mateus as far as i know. You can always switch to EU! We don't have such erp servers.

But even Balmung can be relative normal, just stay as far away from the quicksand as possible. I was playing for like 2 years over there cause my BF is from NA. At some point you get used to getting messaged by complete strangers which ask for erp and are creeps. xD Not to mention that i am a lalafell...

My main server is Bylindher (I know I'm spelling it wrong)
I actually feel somewhat uncomfortable if it's like this on the server. I'm just making alts in order to do something that connects with what I'm trying to do on my main. So If it's just those two, then I'll be careful or steer clear.
The only thing for me on Bylindher that I have to worry about is a group of lalafells shouting about their food and sometimes spams the chat

I'm younger than most players, and have never come across this sorta thing. I gotta wonder how many people go looking for it just to be offended by it?
I have had someone in my old FC accidentally put their RP into FC chat, it took me a few minutes to work out the actions involved. But to me it was more funny than anything. Caused a ton of drama though, and the FC imploded because MTs happen.
My only actual hatred of anything in this game, is the attitude people have toward younger people. Like we have never been on the internet before, watched a movie, or talked to actual real people before. Finding friends, a FC, steady groups, is close on impossible. And so many people actually believe you have to be 18 to be on this game.

Now excuse me while I breathe into this paper bag.

Long story short... this is nowhere near new. 1 new streamer isn't going to change anything in regards to this because much like other 3rd party tools proof of usage needs to be proven. In the case of file swaps that only impact the local client and nothing server side it's extremely difficult to detect and TBH I rather them put that effort into removing more bots and RMTs.

It's really not that big of a deal.

I literally never experience these aspects of XIV unless I explicitly go out looking for it, the only other thing that happens is someone complimenting my character in a one-off fairly friendly way. These are also things that have existed throughout every MMO for as long back as I can remember, and there have been numerous attempts by police agencies to break into the spaces (Namely, Goldshire in WoW) to set up Chris-Hansen style sting operations to find predators and I don't believe there was one that turned up anything of substance.

Doing an extensive banwave of people using NSFW mods doesn't really do anything tangibly worthwhile, other than divert the resources people claim to be so stretched and precious to something that won't change anything. NSFW artwork will still exist. NSFW photo manipulations will still exist. ERP will still exist.

SE doesn't pay me to care about their corporate visage, so I don't.

Modding opinions aside, it's really sad that someone would be willing to sell out the entire modding community just to get 5 minutes of fame on some dude that nobody cares about's stream

It is a big deal.

The person being interviewed admitted there were people doing lewd mods of npcs that were minors. That is not a made up thing. Nude mods in generally being flaunted on twitter is a massive deal. Anything bad for SE is bad for the players. You have to be very short-sighted not to see that.

There are people in the past that said a minor was being sexually harassed in game. There are people that said they themselves were (adults and minors). I was also. It's only been 3 times since 3.0, but that is 3 times too many.

A bigger player base adds to resources, not a few NSFW modders being whales. The money SE gets from these NSFW modders is going to be nothing in comparison to what they do and can potentially get from everyone else. If you don't care about SE's image, then you also don't care if SE makes enough money to do even more for the game. People don't want to play the 'lewd' mmo, and SE certainly would not want to be seen that way.

If it can't be fixed as you claim (your claim not mine), then stop doing it. It's that simple.

Stop ERPing with people you don't know, don't harass people, and don't make/play these NSFW mods. Honestly, it's mush less of an issue for a legal adult consenting and providing proof than it is to get minors involved. It's not even close. That is a very poor argument.

Yes, it is bad to paint minors in a sexual light, even if fictional. It also carries legal penalties. You keep trying to distance yourself, but then you have this take where you think it is okay to have a fetish over children.

Scum? There are plenty of scum in the world that still despise pedophilia.

Scum? There are plenty of scum in the world that still despise pedophilia.

I'm sure that is the case, but who in here supports it? Just because I accept that kids will do this, does not mean I'm like "Yay and cheering" it is more on the line of, well text is better than real. So I can just hope that they are raised well enough not to take risks.


Like I said, this subject is just a feel good subject to be upset about. It also brings up some harsh memories of my childhood as I said before. We can all say it is wrong and I admit it was wrong on the first or second page. Does anyone have a answer on how to stop kids from being sexual active online? Because you can't.


If you can't stop it, and you understand teens are very sexual active. Doing it with no risk to their body is the lesser evil.
