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

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Geezz, are people that bored in-game right now?

SE, do something about this content draught, ASAP. Thanks.

No offense, I don't even do any of this nsfw stuff and I *STILL* prefer to keep my company 18+ in general. So if I were to recruit or announce any social activities, I'd make it 18+ as well. I just don't like interacting with minors, they generally just aren't level-headed yet - and it's also just an annoying walk on eggshells with them around.

I checked it. It's:

The ESRB rating is Teen. The description associated with that rating, as described on the ESRB site itself includes:

Blood
Language
Sexual Themes
Use of Alcohol
Violence

The Japanese rating is "Cero C", which is 15+.

The general European rating is "PEGI 16", which is 16+

But most countries make their own rules and ignore that.
Why? I really don't know. :/

Everyone defends all the modding and plugins and ERPing and NSFW courtesan venues nowadays.

You know in Heavensward and Stormblood, back when we actually had a game, this sort of topic wouldn't even come up in the first place because everyone is busy playing the game.

Now it's different. The existence of these venues and mods allow SE to get away with producing nothing, making patch cycles take 1-1.5 months longer than before, and pumping out garbage, formulaic AI-tier slop every patch.

They don't care about fixing their netcode because anyone who cares already got Alexander or NC.

They don't care about their graphic overhaul barely doing anything because everyone who cares already uses Reshade and textures.

They don't care about their atrocious uninformative UI because any raider who cares already use plugins that solve that.

They don't care about pumping out garbage formulaic content because players will make their own fun by ERPing with each other.

Such is the state of FF14 in 2025. Actually already started in 2022 but now it's entrenched.

If anyone actually wants a real game get out of MMOs.

Just because I don't care when adult people do private adult stuff, that does not mean that I don't care for the bad state and problems of the game. ^^"
But normally when talking about problems there was an army of whiteknights attacking everyone that he/she is just burned out.
I speak about the true problems for many years. :c

Nevermind, have a nice day : )

Put me in the screencap before the thread gets nuked

People can ERP all they want, I don't care. I'd do it too.

The problem is that like Bethesda, Square Enix knows they can do the bare minimum and let modders fix everything for them. Not only that, but actually make content for them.

At this point why don't Square Enix just completely open up the game for modders to mod because I'm sure modders will unironically create a better game than SE.

It feels like they just take money from FF14 but give less back. Too many ressourecs pulled away and stuff. I am not satisfied with the state of the game since EW patchcontent. I have no clue if this can ever get better again.

To be fair, at this point even if SE starts providing great content, PF would still be filled with venue ADs regardless. It's just part of XIV now. Luckily for SE that also enables their laziness.
