Give DJ/ Roleplay events their own tab

[Stormpeaks]

Yea tbh it's getting annoying now. Most of these venues are 18+ and sell u some kind of erp. I think they should crack down on this because it doesn't make the game look good. Let those degenerates advertise there burlesque houses somewhere else besides limsa and "other" I love when I see a pf in other that's just "hi I need friends" because here is somebody using df to communicate and socialize with u. These cringe parties.... there's over 200 ppl there and unless it's to come onto you (had an experienceof sm1 literaly refusing to take no for an answer, and was borderline r***ng my character in these wierd pictures he kept linking to me) they won't even talk to u. The whole thing is a huge creepy mess. Obviously non 18+ venues don't nerd removed but this isn't about them let's be real

"I had a bad experience so all of them should close down and be banned"

ok I guess ? Sorry you had a bad experience, not all venues are like that, I go to quite a few and never had that in almost 3 years.

Should we also close all content PF's because someone got shamed for not doing enough damage or got told really bad things or got insulted ?

As of writing this I've hit the cap on my blacklist in an attempt to make my pf not just a surge of the same five clubs being advertised ten or twenty times. With the community starting to ask for a cross DC- party finder I feel like this will only get worse with more and more of these "DJ's" seeming to appear left and right. Priot to Covid and the rise of DJ's I honestly didn't mind RP venues, hell even though I never really was interested in them I would at least check them out since them seemed more like the rarity and something to briefly check out and all my experiences before the big C came were rather fun.
I would rather however save my blacklist for players that actually do me harm or grieve me in pf then the annoying buzzing of these scuffed door to door sales man.
By giving them their own tab and maybe altering the pf search features to exclude certain Duties it would give the RP people and afk enjoyers a place to find and the people who are tired of seeing it a way to conserve their blacklist for actual problematic people.

At the current moment of writing this my other section has 12 duties and only 2 of them are visible if that gives an idea.

No need to promote these "venues" anymore.

As for myself, I discovered RP by googling something along the lines of "ffxiv rp eu", and found the discord link. I moved to Omega, put on a nice glam, and went to the Far Horizon (an RP venue), where I met another character. They are married now.

There are several reasons nightclubs could be cracked down on:
- Potential laundering of RMT Gil
- Gambling, with RMT Gil, or to launder RMT Gil
- Enabling harassment
- Harassment of other people posting in their RP/venues in PF by paid shouters or venue owners themselves, sabotage and obstructing other's gameplay
- Botting to acquire the Gil necesary
- Related to above, multiboxing to increase said botting
- Spam

I always found it amusing that “clubs” are a thing in this game, considering the players that frequent these events wouldn’t be found dead in a club irl

Let's also just remove content then because some people are getting boosted for real money.

Only fair right ?

ITT: People who don't go to venues outright lying about how most venues operate lmao

[TBerry]

Nightclubs cannot be outright banned. It's still a private house, and players are free to with it as they please. However, that doesn't mean people can't be banned for violating ToS.

[CidHeiral]

The problem isn't the staff in most cases, but the guests. People who have no idea what they're doing. They do everything that is considered bad practice, can't distinguish between IC and OOC, break character, godmode and straightout R**E a character, or they just walk on you at the slightest inconvenience with some flimsy excuse, and some other things.
And these people are then what is seen as the "RP community".

The vast majority of club goers are "roleplaying" as thinly veiled horny self inserts. They're not going to clubs to weave a compelling narrative, they're going there to jerk off.

It's unfortunate their scene has become conflated with real RP but all anyone can do is just be the change you want to see. Support your local venue that hosts actual RP and host your own if possible.

Ha, as someone that used to go to real ones fairly often I had that same thought myself. Although to be fair you could apply that to many things our WoLs do. I wouldn't be caught dead at a shooting range either but I still like playing Machinist.

It's like they think is RP is just a live machinima, if even that.
