My experience is that there's the occasional /pet but that's pretty much it. I don't think I've had an experience I can call "creepy".

Same. Lived on three different US servers, got /pets from randos on all of them while playing lalafel. Nothing beyond that, though

It's some sort of weird collective compulsion, I guess.

One time someone /pet my catgirl at the start of a dungeon but I didn't think much of it because they did the same thing with the other two characters.

Any duty finder content will level you down to the appropriate level. Fates will also sync you.

Open world stuff is otherwise no, and you can't help with solo quest duties anyways.

Overworld stuff is just for like one-off and msq quests and challenge logs, that's basically it. You would mostly "help" level your friend by doing various things in the Duty finder.

Some Lala traded my midlady a hair flower while I was idling in Idleshire and told me I was pretty. It was cute. Only weirdo was catching someone trying to upskirt me on my broom while waiting for a mining node to pop. Joke's on them I wear pants under my dresses! Leonhart leggings for the win.

Tanks in general in XIV have been sort of disappointingly hard for me to get into because they all look really similar, with that similar look being generally unappealing to me.
Ironically, the class with the most 'basket of niche tools' approach after Scholar would be Paladin. Mostly because of how unique Cover is :v:

But some of those are going away come ShB (RIP Tempered Will.)

I'm a dude Highlander and the weirdest thing having to do with my character model was way, way back in ARR when I was doing a First Coil run as a DRG. The other DRG in the party looked at me and was like 'd-dad?' and I was like 'wait what.'
Turns out we had the same face, only I had the mustache/beard on top of it :v:
Got a good chuckle out of that.

Also one Lalafell likes hiding under my tank skirt while I hang out semi-afk on occasion but that's a single-person case.

Every other weird thing I've seen has been one-off occurrences of other people doing weird things. Like, I once had someone roleplaying as the Joker in an Aery run back in HW. As a Summoner. With macros for pets and a few choice abilities.
The costume wasn't spot on (gamblers coat IIRC) but green hair and pale face were props for effort.

Yep. Only creepy emotes and whispers I've ever gotten was when I was trying a female lala before I decided I didn't like them.

Are we posting creepy tells? Hey remember this one?



Guess who saw me a few weeks ago?



I would like to note these tells happened nearly a year and a half apart. I thought their name looked familiar, then the "strip your character down" request happened.



Leal posted:

I've posted a few times about this player who has sent me tells requesting I strip down my character, including them asking again a year and a half later. While going through my ff14 screenshot folder (over 1k screenshots!) I found this, and yes, it was them, again.



Same person. Also I've been invited to random LSes that were a clear hookup LS.

E: Seriously, quit calling my catgirl a kitty or cat. CatGIRL. That last bit is important. My character isn't a drat domesticated feline!

I play a roegadyn dude, so I haven't had any weirdness happen to me yet, at least not that I've noticed.
My friend said someone pet her au'ra and kidragora pet once, but that's been the extent of it for her.

She did send me a picture of the chatlog where she was fishing one time though, the highlights were:
"LF goth gf for vore rp!" And someone offering rp lapdances over general.

I got home and went back to look up my lovely pubbie stories:



I may have one more, I'm still looking through screenshots, but I gotta say, it took me until my second? third? year of playing that I actually came across truly anger-inducing pubs.

I hope that in maneuvering myself to place the SCH following me and their fairy either outside of healing range and/or behind LOS while continuing to do my job, I comported myself in a manner that would make goons proud.

edit: Nope, no more. Actually, considering that I've been playing this game for ... almost six years now, that I've only really had one genuinely bad experience with pubs says a lot about the game, I think.

I am sure, despite every indication from the screenshots posted in this thread and from my own experience, being nice to aggro bad players is a winning strategy. I deeply regret just telling people to get hosed and to trust that I'm a better player than them.

My strangest interaction in the game was with somebody who seemed to be paranoid/schizophrenic in the Kugane markets. They were saying they just paid to move servers because everybody in their old server talked about them and hated them, and now it was happening again on this server. I was standing next to them at the summoning bell, so they whispered me asking why I was looking at their character earlier (I wasn't). I added them as a friend and tried to convince them that nobody hated them, but obviously it wasn't going to be so easy. They stopped coming online a week later or something.
