the absolute fucking buffoonery in this Wendy's tonight
PL with insight to how this shit works from mt experience: I've worked for in-game venues handling the sales for dancers and they hardly get shit for gil unless it's an auction, which it's customary for the venue to give all (or at least most) the winning bid to the dancer.
It's definitely not something you would do for efficient money, more like just for the enjoyment of being paid to be a degenerate. I was bodyguard-slash-bookkeeper for a handful of venues because I could sit and play other games while doing the bare minimum in XIV. At the few spots I "worked", patrons would give donations/tips to staff at random. Dancers had to share theirs but if the bodyguards got any, we got to keep it all. People sometimes gave me more gil than the dancers made in one night because they "felt bad" for me.
ERPers can get really obsessive and if you give these kinds an inch, they'll take fifty miles in return. A lot of them can't separate themselves from their characters (they think similarly of people they ERP), try to e-date while also text-fucking anyone who can throw less than a dollar's worth of gil at them, and tend to stalk (even out of the game) anyone who either wronged them or they want to fuck but can't get. Call me MATI but I've been on the unfortunate receiving end of this lunacy and don't recommend getting into the ERP scene to anyone.
