The pedo problem in FFXIV - Balance Discord - silence is not an option
There is a chronic problem within
the FFXIV elite community. This tumor has been festering for far too long. For
those of you who are a part of the MMORPG community - you must have heard
something about MethodJosh. One gamer abused his power and position to exploit
people within the gaming community; for years. He left people scarred and
extinguished potential. Things like these can easily malign a game’s
reputation. I am aware that what I am going to talk about has been suppressed
over the years. The balance employs a large number of people. Many of these
people are not only mods across the many FFXIV related discords, but they also
have a hand in moderating several FFXIV related websites and forums. They also
seem to share the same interests…. If you catch my drift.
Few years ago the Reddit FFXIV discord lost its partnership due to NSFW images
involving minors on their discord server. Yoshi himself addressed and warned
people against such activities in the past, but he was referencing art… not
reality. The FFXIV elite community is not fragmented like it is in World of
Warcraft. We do not have an icy veins or wowhead; all we have is the balance
discord. The balance discord literally gate keeps progress for almost all the
content and if you want free guides then you must go to the balance discord. It
does charge members a fee in return for higher ranks and the leader (goes by
the name Sayaka, Oh’ No and many others) has the ultimate power. He is like a
shapeshifting lizard overlord where he has numerous of characters and tends to
change names and ownership all the time but you can tell it is the same person
behind it all. In the past he has switched ranks around to his alts and other
people he knows; but he very much owns the server and he is never afraid to say
so.
The problem lies in the fact that this guy is a very nasty person. He used to
have a loli channel where minors would be depicted in questionable ways. They
also have discord servers on the side that simmer beneath the surface - but he
is never afraid to bring this side of him to the forefront of the community.
His behavior is not just limited to art or speech. He pressures other members
into agreeing with things they want no part of. When this grimy shit eventually
explodes which it will; the aftermath will destroy our game’s reputation – the
game we love.
Here he is talking about watching porn near a 6 year old. They also talk about
a discord member being 15 and so on:

Below are several videos of him where he constantly brings up sexual themes
with people who are minors apparently as he refers to them as “pure”. You will
see him repeatedly defend his loli channels and then constantly bring up the
subject of pedophilia and “flat chested little guys”. Unfortunately, similar to
MethodJosh he is surrounded by people who are not only loyal to him and help
him make a butt load of money; they enable him to wield a great amount of power
– many of them seem to share the same deplorable fetishes that he does. They
will immediately ban people if their sexual gratification is not reciprocated.
The mods will at one point mention how they are going to “discuss a matter”
eventually to let pedophilia slide as it brings many viewers to their servers,
on the other hand bans are immediately handed out to those who do not curb the
line. It felt like they overpowered people in the discord and led them into
sexual conversations. Tiffany Liz was a mod on the server and you can see
Sayaka discuss these deplorable things with Tiffany Liz. Tiffany Liz is also
the person responsible for managing the monk community. I have linked the
videos below. In the past Sayaka may have deleted his username and passed his
discord to his alt or friend accounts, but we need to stop this guy from
pushing the game into a corner that WoW ended up in. He has a history of racism
but he deleted all of it, you can still see him calling Germans pedos
(projecting). Tons and tons of Islamophobia (deleted now). Things are nastier
on the hidden servers but I no longer have access to them. A prior mod named
Roxa Claire would throw N word around like it was nothing.I am being very light
here - watch the clips for yourself. This is nowhere near the worst of thse
disgusting clowns (no offense to clowns I actually like clowns). You can see
Roxa Claire in these videos. There are many others but I would run out of time
and space.
Sayaka repeatedly admits that he wants to be the way he is, but he is afraid of
losing sponsorship. They only deleted the channel because they were afraid of
blow back from Patreon. The actions still continue however. See the videos for
yourself; they are pretty boring and grimy so I apologize in advance. We have
to save our game. We cannot let these people be the mascot for our community.
