I've honestly never seen any large or closed off plot-based events happening in large cities or well-populated areas. Most people have enough sense to do that in /party chat or far off corners of the map outside of town. It seems like a very hypothetical concern, since I haven't seen it happen in XIV or my previous MMO. Sure, it would be a problematic thing, but I've never seen it happen, which isn't to say that it doesn't, just that it must not occur on any large scale (unless I'm just really really unobservant).
