Give DJ/ Roleplay events their own tab

This was posted to the PF for Aether DC. They or at least some are doing in categories not meant for it.

then it is reportable. plain and simple.

As an RP enjoyer, agreed. /shouts for venues in Limsa and the like are pretty much always a nuisance, and I'd like to see a separate space for them to advertise freely.

Do RPers generally use the shout tab in main cities for RPing?

Only once in a great while in Gridania. Never see this in Thavnair.

Depends on the server, I'll see it on Balmung and Mateus in Ul'Dah

It's funny but I have a topic up where I suggested a system built into pf to actually lessen the spam that can happen. Even suggested a venues tab so it's totally separate but it's buried lol

Setting up a separate subcategory in PF is a reasonable request. That way the venues get separated out from FC recruitment (why is there no dedicated in-game recruitment tool??), crafting commissions and other activities that are also placed under Other.

If you think that the core activity of the game is venues because that's all you see in shout, try playing the game instead of spending all your time sitting around in Limsa, Ul'dah or Gridania. The reason why those cities end up with most of the venue spam is because that's where the players not doing anything hang out - prime audience for venues. I go in and out of those cities frequently while I'm playing but the venue spam doesn't add up enough to be annoying in the 2-3 minutes I'm there. I stay focused on the reason that took me into the city.

TLR The venues bother you because you let them bother you. Stop letting them bother you by actively using your time for something more than reading shout spam.

Pretty much. If it can't be overly monetized and/or involve "dancers" then it's not worth having as a form of RP these days. Maybe it's different on other DCs but that's just the reality of NA. It's very rare to find something that doesn't open at 9PM+ lol.

But that's not what RP is.

Again, people are conflating virtual venues and RP when they are very different things.

Someone mentioned a sports bar as "RP" earlier. Well unless all they're discussing at that sports bar is chocobo racing and Franz the Fair's last battle at the Coliseum, chances are it's not a RP spot at all. It's a just a place where players get together to talk about real life sporting events.

I'm aware what the traditional definition of RP is, I've been apart of several different communities for it across the last 10+ years.

I'm saying when RP is brought up in 14, it's either people pointing to venues as "RP" or asking if ERP is involved. I've heard on more than one occasion, especially recently, that if you don't have Mare and have no interest in ERP then you're passed over as a partner the majority of the time. This is just how it is now lol. It's sad but yeah...big reason why I distanced myself from it over the last year or so. Just still get told things from friends and in public spaces.

[Lunaxia]

As someone who isn't really seeing those, how many of those are actually set up to be Locations in Eorzea and not just using FFXIV as a convenient chat+ avatar application?

Bc the last time I can recall seeing Something like the former was early shb. Everything I seen recently basicly had you leave eorzea at the door.

We have Femboy Hooters, and I believe my own DC was hosting a "Playboy Mansion" the other night so my guess is: not many, lol.

I come here to say that spamming in shout is against TOS because it's spamming. If you jump from main city to main city and put your Club AD you can be reported. And GM will take action. How do I know this? I got angry msg on discord from someone I reported for spam. You know it works when they stalk you out to insult you, that you dared to report them. So report them, and they will get scolding by GM, if they don't behave they will get Tag on their account.
