Time to Quit

If that 1.3m figure is from the LB surveys, they measure as little as a single login, for a character, meeting its criteria within the survey period, which is acknowledged to be susceptible to bloat by free login campaigns. It's more that it's a high point/maximum during the survey period as opposed to anything that could be used as an active daily figure, which I'd strongly doubt is anything like 1.3m. There's some other sites (not talking about ones which actually record live player metrics) that claim to estimate the numbers for it but I doubt it's based on anything reliable.

I'd say the fact that - as another poster so kindly pointed out - at least 20000 players are using a specific lewd mod counts as a 'significant number' when there is content designed to appeal to a far lesser number of players.

I think it'd be quite the interesting experiment for Square Enix to ban mods altogether as of 7.0 and prevent them from being launched, if only to see how many players actually stick around to continue playing the game as intended.

Yeah I'd be interested to see how that'd go as well, including in terms of their accounts...

Yes, unfortunately, there's not many reliable sources. From multiple sources, it seems that GW2 is roughly 1/3rd or 1/4th the size of FFXIV. That 100K active players is reliable number, so this should put FFXIV at around 200K-500K active players at any give time.

Which would get us at around 4% - 10% of players using mare. In case that mare statistic meant daily active players, and not active players at any given time, that would make it 0,8% to 2%. But just as others mentioned, exact numbers are not relevant, you just need to look in and outside the game to see what's happening.

There are the same number of Mare users at any given time as there are Steam users. While SE doesn’t reveal sales data, it’s hard to believe that Steam only accounts for 4-10% of active players.

People forget that the avarage videogameplayer today is 30+.
Of course adults think about such things. And they do also when they are online. I am not into this scene but I don't care if adults enjoy their erotic chattings.
