Young players are not going to play FF14

[Supersnow845]

Besides the occasional shout and the PF problem I also have zero problem “accidentally” running into adult content

And I’m a min height catboi who’s default attire is a speedo who regularly runs around fairie limsa

You really have to search to find the 18+ underbelly part of 14 (who’s existence itself I’m totally ambivalent on)

Why would you need to weed out minors if you aren't doing adult things? I don't really understand the point of weeding out minors just because you can if you aren't doing anything a minor couldn't safely participate in.

The same reason I wouldn't socialize with a kid irl, it's just weird. I'd rather socialize with people I can relate to and that's certainly not high schoolers. It wouldn't even matter what the topic or activity is, so long as their is socializing it's just more comfortable with no kids.

Maybe the difference is some people busy themselves thinking this is a problem needing to be solved, rather than just leaving adults alone. Haven't once ran into adult behavior in XIV - meaning you likely have to look for it specifically.

That was my thought too.

And this proves my very first original point that underaged players, for SE targeting a younger audience doesn't fit in on this game. Because there are way to many people who think like this here. Also not everyone is going to be relatable, even as an adult. I never get that point. It's only weird because someone made it weird. It's like people are constantly looking for everyone they interact with to be their best friend or something. Everyone is here for the same thing, to play a video game.

Wow....that's extremely rude of you. I have no issue with kids playing the game. You asked why people might not want them in their groups and I gave you one. There's nothing wrong with that. Do you think adults should be forced to socialize with kids? If so, why.....?

Well if you enjoy regularly spending time with minors and relating to them, all the more power to you. *shrug* No one here thinks they will get along with every other adult in existence, but at least we can feel more comfortable and ourselves then policing every little thing we say because a minor is present.

And while there are some very immature adults (I'm honestly shocked based on the behavior here when some people post they are old enough to have played MMOs for 20+ years... lol), the basic likelihood of finding common ground increases when surrounded by other adults rather than children/teenagers. If you ever played games with them on coms you'd probably understand.

Forced to socialize with kids? What a random extreme statement. That's the kind of question a person who goes "Eww, child, go away" would ask. You wouldn't even know their age if it was never brought up. lol... Apparently talking to a child is beneath you.

This game is rated 13 and older, so because people who are adults choose not to socialize with younger people because possibly they don't have life experiences in common you are making this the fault of the game. Yes it is weird to expect a grown human to socialize with a 13 year old. So hence 18+ FCs and venues. What exactly is wrong with that the game isn't just for 13 year olds it's 13 and up.

You are the person who started down this path of "what are you doing that children can't be around?" essentially. And not really understanding that some adults just prefer being around other adults than children/minors, regardless of the activity. I have no idea why you can't understand this.

I mean I could be going bowling, and I'm going to have more fun with friends my age than dragging a minor child along and their friends and if I had a choice would prefer the absence of minors.
