Above it was mentioned that FFXIV is for 16 and over. I was curious because I thought it was 13 and over. Looking it up it seems to be that the UK rating is PEGI 16, and the US is ESRB Teen 13, someone correct me if this isn't right. Sorry if this is a little off topic, I was just interested and was surprised at the difference in ratings.
Personally I don't get offended when people swear in chat, it isn't part of my normal vocab to do it in everyday speaking in RL, so I don't tend to use it in game chat, but it doesn't bother me when others do. There are some words I would be offended by, and some people just haven't learned to use their 'filter' as to what is appropriate, but I would just ignore it. I probably wouldn't choose to be close friends with someone who swears in every other sentence though because it would just irritate me eventually. What I find much more irritating is baby talk and really silly snuggle bunny talk, but again, I just ignore it.
