I tend to agree with 4wheel's sentiment. Foul language can get a particular point or mood across very effectively, but if it's overused, it loses its narrative power. That doesn't mean it has no place in RP -- far from it -- but it works best when employed with precision.
From an OOC standpoint, it's just a bad idea to throw around seriously salty language. The XIV terms of service note that "(t)he use of language that is generally considered unacceptable in a public venue" is a prohibited activity and can result in GM sanction. An RPer who's tossing around profanities that'd make even a drunken sailor blush is invariably going to run afoul of this rule if they're doing so in public channels, and "but it was just RP!" isn't a justification that's likely to sway a GM. With that in mind, my recommendation is always that RPers keep the swearing to whatever level the game uses in its quest texts and try to find creative ways to be profane that mesh with lore.
