These are all in "Other" PF category. Consider not going there? There's really no content on that tab. Raids, extremes, ults are on High-End tab, the others are on their specific tabs.

"Other" is the place for every other PF not classified specifically. IDK why would anybody would be bothered by that PF tab. Just don't go there.

I think it's because everything is in the ALL tab and that's the first you see...thus the complaints. Honestly though you are right...just tab over and it's a non-issue.

if I recall, thats what they -highly- recommended for these types of things back when there was a grumbling about their existence. any not in the 'other' category could be reported.

Don't really see the issue. It's distasteful, but it's not too worrisome. If anything the problem solves itself I feel.

I'm sure the players making pfs and shouting will get trolled or messed with at the least, and if people want to treat the game like tinder then they'll eventually realize that they're destroying the quality of their matches through their own existences in the dating pool.

All Square Enix needs to do is enforce the ban on modding. People's brains have been rewired to be drawn to those erotic mods. Without their disgusting abominations, they won't find vanilla text roleplay satisfying, and they'll leave. Same for doing /beesknees in a club. Those "strippers" won't be appealing if there's not 50 pounds strapped to the torso. And all that SE needs to do is mandate that the official client be used. They could simply send an encrypted key from the login servers to the launcher that a third-party one wouldn't be able to obtain. And with Dalamud gone, so is Mare and all of the other cancerous filth.

It would also help for them to manually crack down on club listings, but honestly, there's nothing inherently wrong with a nightclub as as long as it's good, clean fun. Cut off the source of the dopamine and the worst of the cancer will be eradicated overnight.

Too bad Square Enix won't do anything about it, though! LOL!

I really hope that you don't actually believe this cause uh.... that won't stop it. If it did then it wouldn't be a thing in WoW which has banned anything that modifies game files and has a scanner to prevent that. And yet, despite that, Moon Guard Gold Shire has been a bigger ERP presence to this day than just about anything else.

Ofc they won't do anything about this situation, there are hundreds of thousands of people using third party tools. With just taking the sub money into account that's a good chunk of money. And now we have to also take into account that those people usually are the ones that buy tons of shop items and there you have it. I don't think investors would like SE just annihilating a good chunk of their profits for little to no reason.

SE has something at hand that literally any other MMO and marketing person would just have wet dreams about. Which is free advertising and activity. Given this might be not "good" activity by many peoples standards but tens of thousands of players logging in daily to do well..."stuff(ing)" ingame creates an "active" MMO which is something that an MMO wants above everything else. And this activity extends beyond content droughts and content in general which is just a insane vein of gold SE hit with this. The other point is free advertisement which comes from thousands and thousands of players gposing and flooding all social media platforms daily with their poses and other things.

Everyone who thinks SE would give up this literal gold mine is at best just delusional. SE has found something no other MMO ever managed to find and i am certain they would never give this up ever.

That said, in my opinion people can do whatever they want as long as they actually check how old the player behind the other piece of pixels and polygons is. That is literally the only thing i would say speaks against nightclubs which is their blatant ignorance of minors getting access to their 18+ venues. Some even clearly accepting that fact and letting underaged players work there.

"They could simply ..." should never be used in discussing game code development. I have a friend working in the MMORPG industry at this point, and there is never anything that they do that is simple.
