Why so many 18+ related player events in the party finders

[tordash]

So i heard this game is 13+ right?
and well party finder is a general public area, right?
So why is there so much player events that publicly annonce (ERP) has a service like giving "courts" terms and "NSFW" terms.
If square-enix wants new generation of players, shouldnt they do something about it?

Thousands of players are attending these events, and tenfold more the number of those who are using the related plugins (You know the ones), many of which are considering these activities to be the endgame for them, or the main hobby and activity to do inside.

Why SE doesn't do anything about it? It's simple, because if they do then the player count will significantly drop, maybe even signal the FF14 exodus and the beginning of the end.

It's really as simple as this. There is huge, HUGE group of people who play xiv as a second life sim, and they're probably singlehandedly responsible for keeping the lights on during content droughts. People going to clubs in xiv don't care about lack of content or the msq being subpar, that's not why they play. They're in it exclusively to play dress up (aren't we all) and *cough* socialize.

Anyway, they're way too large of a group for SE to can, so regardless of what you or I think, they're here to stay probably forever, or until they collectively find a new game to loiter in. It doesn't matter how good of an argument you think you have that they shouldn't be allowed to operate, because the bottom line is that no other part of the playerbase is doing something like renting an irl billboard for their event and then crashing a housing ward because too many people are trying to get to the party. That's the kind of publicity mmo's dream about, you don't just tell them to stop

Way to go on a hyperbole.

I am sorry to say but first, no i dont know about those Plugins you talk about first, second i play for the game, i know those exist but those are cheating, i dont use this and dont even want more infos about it, if you cant even manage something like this, why would the player base want to stay.
that just means that square isnt able to manage there own terms. and this isnt really encouraging to stay in the game because it proves the inefficiency of the company to manage a crisis.

a "crisis" lmao

it aint a crisis, you quite literally dont have to use them so... just dont ?

Also a massive amount of the playerbase on PC that you talk about uses them in one way or another.

That is the new generation of players. As a byproduct of the company never giving the players anything to do for more than 2 hours every 4 months. Welcome.

Pretty much this too

Actually it could become a problem because this games social features are really poor. They made discord for FFXIV/XIV? and this game is 'still' unworkable without it. Now as this rrRampant sexualisation becomes more prevalent *and these PFs contribute by normalising this* it evermore becomes plastered in 'every' discord community.

I 'personally' don't like big bulging packages of meat and two veg on my hermaphrodite big hootered bun Bois for the same reason I don't like big bulging packages of meat and two veg on my male bunbois, because it 'hyper' sexualises the game, and it's not in keeping with the 'naive optimistic wholesome' FANTASY vibe that first attracted me to this game filled with it's exuberant smol folk and I find it 'Yuck!'. I make no apologies for my personal feelings about where I am comfortable with dealing with my own sexuality and where I am not. I just want to play a game.
I left one community because being in it was just spoiling the game for me.
But I'm starting to see it everywhere. This did not used to be the case. If I have to leave every discord the game will be unplayable. But a lot of these deviant discords of depravity are spoiling the game for me.

I'm poking fun at it because I know ill come across as a prude, but it's spoils the game for me, and there is such a thing as too much, and these PFs are part of a growing trend that DOESN'T NEED ANY HELP TO GROW. FFXIV players be thirsty enough as it is. Bonk!

As ever if it's just me then it's not a problem. I'll just have to leave. If it's not just me then there is a problem.
If XIVs X rated shenanigans becomes the viral meme that defines this game in the wider community outside of those that actually play it, maybe even to those that don't game, then this game's rep is ruined forever. It will just be "that game for wierdos", and people won't want to give it a chance. Then the game as you know it is FCKd. I'd like to see some Nintendo style IP protection on this matter. It's been taken too far for the games long term prospects. If I was in Blizzards marketing black ops team, this is what I'd be targeting.

Just do what you can SQX. I don't actually see what they can do. But the OP definatly has a point.

I thought you said you were unsubscribing? It's been over a month.

He is one of those people who are always yelling they will unsub only to switch to an alt and keep posting nuclear toxic-level stuff. He probably forgot to switch to his sweaty alt..lol.

...Yeah, you sound like a prude who got too curious for your own good. This is a you problem. If you are being exposed to "big bulging packages of meat and two veg on my hermaphrodite big hootered bun Bois" and any other modbeast abominations trying to be invoked here, it's because you went out of your way to find it. YOU have to choose to join a modding syncshell. YOU have to join FFXIV Discord communities with NSFW gpose channels and then chose to view them. YOU have to be the one browsing modding websites to see some of the wild mods out there. YOU have to be following or searching certain terms to find this stuff.

You can literally just not look at or engage with it if you don't want to see it. I don't like most NSFW stuff, so I don't go into those communities and discord channels. Problem solved.
