So they're perfectly willing to ignore all the sexual innuendo (and sometimes, blatant sexual talk) that goes on amongst NPCs, provide an emote system which can be manipulated to do some hilariously obscene things (see a screenshot posted previously in this thread as an example), and generally imply through the story that they're not afraid to shy away from mature themes...
But letting players lay down wherever they want is far too risque.
Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on that. The introduction or not of /doze will have zero bearing on ERP, I can guarantee that. Would we probably get funny-sexy screenshots with folk using the /doze? Likely, but we already get that with all the other emotes in the game. Hell, one of my FC members spends an inordinate amount of time doing the female miqo'te /stretch so she can bury her face in other characters' boobs. This one single emote warrants no more control than any other emote in the game.
I think that any adult theme that the game might imply is easily surpassed by what the community does. As you said, people are even doing those things with normal emotes; even more reason for them to believe that adding the /doze emote will only be worse.
Of course, it'd be great if we could make our characters sleep anywhere. It's especially good for RP scenes of battles where a character faints. But I'm not stupid and I know what that emote will be mostly used for; if this future situation is a problem for Square Enix, then I can understand they don't want that to happen. Because it's going to happen, let's be honest *laughs*. I foresee that people who would use the /doze emote with innocent purposes are a minority.
So, while I won't use it with those purposes, I understand if Square Enix wants to prevent kids from doing that. It's not our fault, but we have to deal with the fact that online games are full of people who do act like kids.
