How do you feel now that XIV has become an evenue/egasm paradise?

[sagacious]

I go to clubs all the time they are fun and enjoyable. They discord good music and the bees knees dance is suited for dancing rockn roll and R&B ... nice

Whenever I see Ffxiv venues mentioned, I'm immediately reminded of this....

With some means to stream music via built in VOIP and some actual dancing mini game stuff akin to what we have for performances I could see it having genuine potential and shaking the cringe though.

As someone who has been part of dance clubs in games/online for years without ever getting any, because for most it is about clubbing, it's dance, music, energy and most importantly it doesn't seem to involve drinking.

So the real question is why would the op be the "kind" of person that would think that about others? Is that really the opinion that people can't go to nightclubs without putting out? That is just one step away for blaming someone for being assaulted because they wore the wrong clothes... Come on, it's 2023 let's stop burning witches...

I mean, you can read my previous post about my own thoughts on the venue scene for another perspective on why it isn't the best environment.

Ultimately though, the venue community has a very big reputation for engaging in the sexual side of things. I mean, hell, half the PF ads I see on any given day are for brothels or clubs with courtesans/dancers. It's fine if you personally stay away from that side of things but I assure you it exists and is flourishing. I know of too many men (and some women) who have funded a house for their favorite courtesan due to how much time they spend with them.

If we just closed every "not a real problem" thread on this forum, we'd have maybe four topics left, and at least one of them would be complaining about where all the problem threads went.

I read this in John C. McGinley’s voice lol

They're even shouting in Sharlayan now

Maybe XIV is becoming a stepping stone because of Glam and House Customization? Kinda reminds me of the older games like MyCoke, Habbo, UO.. Where you started the game with good intentions, and then you fell into housing, then clubbing, then E-Dating or something.

I think this is the case. SE panders to roleplayers and gposers too much lately (just see portraits, viera hats, etc)

I personally think it's really shitty that I have to fix my chat filtering just so I don't see those messages. I'm not the intended audience member for venues or the 'egasm paradises,' and no longer feel comfortable doing even a regular RP thing. But more power to those people who want to; I just wish my shout chat wasn't flooded with stupid club bullshit every 5 minutes I'm in a capital city. Sort of defeats the 'if you don't like it don't look at it' approach when it's in my face constantly. Night club ads suck, is what I'm saying, and I think every single person who shouts for a night club should be banned out of spite.

If you call this roleplay, sure I guess. I wouldn't though. Real RPers don't like this group either.

It's just a bunch of Second Life losers flooding this game right now. Used to be you only really see them on Reddit but now it's spread to every ilm of this game's community.

I'm not changing the title (can I even do that?) - I love the new term 'egasm paradise'. It's just enough "Wtf?" lol

Huh, congrats on your first post. You missed the point though.

I don't blame venues for being entertaining. I blame the people that spam, and the people that push the trade in an environment that doesn't properly support it.

It's closer to something like.. I support the trade legally, but not the back alley.
