I give a **** BECAUSE, 1) It's an interesting development 2) It's scandalous and everyone loves a scandal 3) I'm not saying I'm opposed to it even though I suggested that those who run brothels be subject to Justice system stuff 4) It makes the game more interesting
So this was just a chance for you to beat a dead horse some more? Also I take it you havent been to Ebonheart or the Outlaws Refuge in Windhelm? Brothels and prostitutes already exist in the game.
I could name several other places where prostitution occurs as well in ESO. Perhaps the most imporant way this affects the game is economy, you have other players spending their hard earned gold on these brothel services and then going on shopping sprees with their amassed wealth, although, I wouldn't rule out the possibility a a player who exists solely to ERP in the game with other players and hoard gold in their bank account. Also, my post has been more than justified with all the responses it has gotten and interesting discussions it has spawned.
This happens in other MMOs, so I wouldn't be surprised it's occurring here. Players can and do make money offering a variety of services to their fellow players. This is just one of them
We are free to choose how we interact with other players. If someone wants to seek companionship and a certain level of intimacy for awhile, who am I to judge them?

It's not stupid at all when you consider Bethesda's stance against nudity and sex in general in every TES game to date. They made the decision a long time ago that it isn't what they want in TES. You know how it goes in the US, everyone lords over decapitations, eye gouging and lots of other graphic content, but show some side boob and all hell breaks loose.
Almost took a screenshot, but decided against it.
Was on the Gold Coat and someone with a name kinda of like "Magic Mike" was advertising for his brothel guild called something close to "Diamond Daggers." He was looking for guild recruits and or customers for his large house that will no doubt be full of scantily clad digital people doing the Divines know what.
Anyway, this is more evidence of why we need a second part of the Justice system so we can form groups and break up these brothel rings.
ALSO: The scuttlebutt is that the reason they made the character limits for housing the way they are is because of the performance issues for the lowest specced PCs/Consoles so that if all 24 people decided to pair off and have 12 separate duel at the same time, the performance wouldn't suffer.
Prostitution in any form is solidly in historical context a serious criminal act... unless performed in holy temples so the gods get their cut.
Did you forget there is actual in-game brothel since game's launch? The Ebony Flask Inn in Stonefalls is actual brothel. Now, if brothel in homestead homes ran by players were against the "rules", don't you think game designers should be punished as well for putting one in game with the rest of the game?

Society should not be celebrating madams as champion's of women's rights. They became rich and influential themselves, at the expense of the actual prostitutes they were pimping out.
