The inappropriate adult content is getting a little excessive. I've been undecided whether or not to make a post about this for quite a while. I kind of expected SE to address the issue by now but I don't see anything to indicate SE will take any action. Yesterday I encountered a conversion that convinced me I should say something.
I quit the mentor system for about a year and a half because of this sort of thing even in Novice Network. I decided to take up mentor again a few weeks ago and started to watch Novice Network. I've been seeing conversations that are about sexual experiences with animals. People are describing sexual animal fantasies and saying things like getting "knots" from animals.

I personally knew lots of people who were making accounts. They got lenient toward adult content and became known to the public as a place for adult content and especially furry adult content. Then the majority of their users dropped off.
I'm not exaggerating. I'd like to draw your attention to this YouTube video. This player installed the required mods and went around to expose the seedy underbelly of FFXIV. Everything is blurred out but it's pretty clear what's going on with a growing subset of FFXIV users. Here's your proof:
As for me. I might stop playing. FFXIV is getting a bad rep in the general public for being full of ERP. I'm near the end of my tolerance watching these players get overtly sexual and even about animals with impunity and boldness.
