I will point out my observed experiences with roleplaying a Villain.
The issues stemming from the villain side in FFXIV is that everyone I and my friends have roleplayed with - being it in kidnapping, torture etc has never accepted to letting anything bad happen to their character.
it is -very- difficult to be a villain when people are not willing to deal with the consequences of being a target but expect you to be subjected to their point of view. Hence why the whole 'rape, torture' thing exists, you might see that more often than not due to the constraints on most players.
For example when A few friends of mine were interrogating a law enforcement character they refused to let maiming, damage - psychologicla or physical mark their character in a permanent way.
The street goes both ways, and for villains? because we are the bad guy - people want us to lose no matter what.
