If you think reddit has anything to do with Balmung's reputation, I'll remind you said reputation precedes r/ffxiv's existence. The two have nothing to do with one another. A good majority of players you'll find in the Quicksand aren't ever going to post on reddit. It should also be noted, most of the roleplayers on Balmung aren't strictly into ERP. In fact, the largest Roleplay Discord server completely bans NSFW content entirely.

With all that being said, I doubt you're the first going on mass report waves in the same way people vehemently against parsers have continuously tried to mass report "barse" parties. It won't accomplish anything but a colossal waste of your time. My advice? Don't loiter around the Quicksand. It's had its reputation for nearly a decade now. You aren't going to change it.
