VRC+ only instances.

A option to start a public instance that's for VRC+ users only.
I think a lot of us are trying to find more mature public worlds to have conversations in, and I believe this feature would work well for VRC+

Not everyone can afford vrc+

This is a 5 year old post, and should probably be removed as it's already been added through Verified 18+ instances.

I don't see a need for this when age verified instances (which already require a vrc+ req. to get verified) exist

How could anyone actually want this

I already despise the idea of having instances available only to select VRC+ users (those who are Age Verified). I don't think making an instance available only to VRC+ users in general is at all an inclusive idea. It may support the dev team of VRChat, but I'm definitely of age and I can't join 18+ instances without paying for a subscription beforehand. Essentially, if someone makes an 18+ instance in good faith of making sure everyone's an adult, it excludes everyone who doesn't have VRC+. It's VRChat being in and of itself a night club of sorts, being exclusive and I'm not a fan of it. They need to make age verification available to all users. If they can't afford it for everyone, at least give the option to those with known trust rank. User rank would make more sense though.

IlexisTheMadcat the suggestion isn't to be inclusive, it's to restrict those who are only part of the background noise of VRC.

not everyone wants or can afford to buy VRC+ this basically would only serve to get vrchat more money and not fix the issue you're talking about.
the best way for you to do that is: host a group public > make it age gated > filter out people who're not being mature.
a VRC+ only instance does little to nothing to solve your issue its more likely that it could make that issue worse making it likely to attract worse people in general. (this practice would also serve to force players into buying VRC+ to just play vrchat instead of VRC+ being just for support of the platform and would likely lose alot of players from vrchat.)

Frenetic Furryǃ VRC+ was looked down upon when I first started as being not only a waste of money, but also supporting the problem. Granted the people saying these things were using mods back then. I chose to support something I enjoyed regardless of what they were all saying, and to see this contradictory statement now, it's kind of entertaining.
"host a group public > make it age gated"
What is to stop someone from lying about their age? Granted I've already seen the 18+ verification defeated by submissive parents who failed at every turn with parenting. But to me this is far worse in sharing personal information than letting an AI decide whether or not my face matches an ID and is then destroyed after verifying the account.
At least I'm not catching discrimination, scrutiny, and judgement for my age when I tell the AI how old I am. I just want to enjoy my time with friends and make new ones.
I had a thought to use bank checking accounts, but there's 1 bank in america that I consider the worst of them all, and it proves so with being 16 as the minimum age to open an account at that bank only.

Since many folks point out the issue of kids and trolls, and we now have the Age Verification feature, you might think the priority of this request has become low.
However, this still benefits some event organizers who wish this platform would remain economically healthy and running. Although there's another way, the Creator Economy, it is not so easy (paperwork is required).
Compared to that, this VRC+ limited instance idea is far easier to do.

VRC Plus Public Worlds
Yin
So public worlds are currently... very bad. They are 95% visitors which are children and trolls. Harassment is constant. Vote kicks never work. Since the dev team doesn't want to add moderation to Public worlds, I suggest paid members can make public worlds in which only paid members can join. This would cut down on the children and trolls significantly and let the more relaxed VRC members actually have a public experience again.

VRC+ Public Instances Public+
BurningSpaceMan
Let's face it. There is a real issue with children who are under the age of 13 running around as well as bad actors that have made public lobbies a sometimes uncomfortable, aggravating experience. A lot of us use to enjoy going to public lobbies meeting new people and making new friends. This is an experience that is few and far between these days. With the Addition of friends plus, we have seen fewer and fewer worlds with public lobbies and many people end up floating around between the same friend groups in Friends+ instances.
I propose a VRC+ public instances that are only accessable to VRC+ members. This will cut back on a lot of unwanted interactions with children and bad actors who make accounts only to crash or disrupt instances. It may also encourage users to populate VRC+public instances over using friends plus just to avoid children and other bad actors. Especially when world hoping.
I can't tell you how unfulfilling it is when I scroll down through the worlds that are most populated for my platform only to find all of them besides a handfull only populated by private instances. There are probably a ton of people I will never get to meet because they hide away in Private instances.
