Yet another thread about explicit pf's

[missTori]

The clubs don't really have anything explicit in message so i doubt those are as big of a deal but...
I'm talking about the more blatant onlyfans advertising shit.

SE needs to change the 13+ age rating or stop letting this stuff keep happening. Only thing i can do is report and move on, but i feel like enough people aren't reporting, because this would stop happening. I know that jrpgs have always been sexual in nature and i'm not trying to pearl clutch here, but it's getting to the point where i'm embarrassed to tell people i play this game.

How am I supposed to get real life picture of cute bunnies when you block it out!?!?

Honestly everyone in the server could report and it will still happen, I am not sure what the punishment is, perhaps soliciting 18+ content needs to be rated higher.. on the other hand assuming everyone is a consenting adult (not a safe assumption I know) I really don't care what happens in or out of the game.

Remember titan man, and probably copy cats, they had expendable income and decided to spend it on this. Imagine if, for some wild reason, advertising on FFXIV net them approximately $15 in subscriptions for the month. Sold. Cost of doing business, even if banned. Now I have a hard time believing that is the case, but wow thirsty community if it is lol.

I think the only thing that could really help, besides auto filtering (slightly), is a fast review of adult oriented reports that are in the community's face- which could be facilitated by allowing players to report directly from the PF (so GM's will know). Like removing the restrictions from the portraits in FFXIV and adding a report button to portraits if you hover your mouse over them (invisible until hover). Then they get a "review this right away, this is public facing". To save the GM's sanity add an ability to mark similar reports from the same trigger (button in PF / portrait) as related (to better organize it and mark them cited / incompliance quickly, otherwise a coordinated attack would be really annoying to review and, especially already reviewed cases that tend to get a lot of false reports).

enough arent reporting because most of us dont go through the "other" section of pf looking for it.

it's not that i really go looking for it, but some people post things in other like "need to vent or help me level my blue mage? " Etcetera, and it's hard to not see it

There's no point in reporting this. There was a person who was selling feet pics a long time ago in primal and every time the person had a different last name meaning they created another account because the first one got banned. As long as they made over $13 a month selling them it was a sound business model and SE couldn't do anything about it.

On the other hand, I do agree raising FFXIV to M rating because it would lead to better stories and more mature themes rather than walking on eggshells over heavy topics. This was probably one of the best things about FF 16, that it wasn't scared of being too gritty.

Does that already qualify as explicit?
I'd laugh so hard if that person was just trolling and sending pictures of rabbits, but given how ...eccentric this community can get I realize chances of that are 50-50 at best.

Yeah that person has been at it for a year or longer unless I'm mistaken. I also agree the age rating should be at the M range and honestly I thought that it was for the longest time.

You can also.. yknow... not look at it ?

[Swordsman]

Way ahead of you there. I've completely stopped telling people IRL that I play FFXIV. When a game is more famous for its ERP instead of its gameplay there's nothing good that can come from associating yourself with it. It's sad because I've truly enjoyed playing this game for almost ten years. I've heard wow is also starting to follow a similar path by catering to the furry crowd.

Of course you can, and personally I do. I won't waste my time reporting others for being trashy but at the same time you have to recognize that having trashy things happening in front of you is annoying. You wouldn't want people blasting hip hop and twerking on the subway every day when you're coming back from work would you?

If those people had an emote to convert the FF 15 car mount into a low rider with blown speakers you'd bet they'd be blasting music with them in Limsa too. It's not like they didn't prove it with the adventurer plates already either. God knows how many crotches I saw playing PVP.

Did you see which tab they are in? It is the default All tab.

Small Edit: Maybe they should filter Other out of All in the future as on datacenters without many PF listings these can easily end up in All due to the lack of content being done.
