RE: Possible Rise in Harassment/Grief of RPers? - Kage - 06-24-2014
I've turned most special effects off. Unfortunately emotes are ones that I sorta really love in my RP so chat filters themselves just get... no.
The only thing I can't get away from are the sound effects!

You know, we totally need some of those to play villain to all our upstanding (albeit scruffy) heroes.

I haven't noticed anything but I haven't chilled in the Quicksand in quite some time (mostly been wanting to get 50 Warrior out of the way so I can start building up a decent RP set). There's the usual stuff going on in Ul'dah and it took me maybe a week after I joined the game to notice so it's not really a new development.
Then again I'm way too girly for my class apparently ;P

Little difficult to be "upstanding" when people filch your pants.
Yeah. That happens, apparently.

Perhaps it's not the upstanding citizens that bring them to Ul'dah but instead the hot bar maid! Â Totally that. Sorry guys, I didn't mean it!

*Becomes traffic control and diverts more RP'ers to Limsa and Gridania*
Besides, at least pirates/Limsa folk are more honest and open with their intentions, unlike Ul'dah where they seem to be very sneaky-sneaky, under-the-table, twiddling their thumbs and hoping to kidnap you into their slave/prostitution ring.
At least when a pirate catcalls you, you can tell them to fuck-off.

Guy's all this badmouthing Ul'dah is hurting Nanamo's feelings.

Problem is not Ul'Dah.
It has never been Ul'Dah.
I would track down that post that Osric put up somewhere sometime ago about all the great things about RP in Ul'Dah.
I love RP in Ul'Dah. I love the setting. The clear divide in politics, the architectural layout, Law enforcement LSs, everything.
This thread is about Harassment and Griefers but people jump on the opportunity to go "let's leave Ul'Dah!" That isn't the solution. Create RP that draws people to other cities. Don't bash Ul'Dah to get people there.
I RP wherever the story takes me. I've gone to Gridania and Limsa. And likely will go there again. But let the RP draw people there, not bashing a great setting. (this isn't directed at anyone, it's just a trend I've noticed in multiple threads)
And... this really doesn't have anything to do with Griefers and Harrassment so... um, my contribution/take on it is: I blacklist quickly.
There.Â

You can create the best RP ever in either Limsa or Gridania, but if nobody's there to see it there's no real point. It has to be good and it has to be consistent. It'd be cool if all three cities were good hubs, and quite frankly I much prefer the Wench to the Quicksand in terms of NPC atmosphere (although it may just be attachment to the first adventurers' alehouse I encountered due to Kellach starting in Limsa)
Then again there's no point leaving Ul'dah to begin with - Where there is RP, there will be griefing/trolling/what have you. All you'd be doing is displacing the "problem".

I haven't really noticed any more trolls or harassment than usual. The biggest burst of that was, of course, at launch. After that, I imagine all the trolls got banned and learned their lesson or ragequit, quit for unrelated reasons, or got bored and realized they have other things to do and too many RPers in the game to possibly troll them all. Since shortly after launched the amount of trolls seemed to decline and has gone on pretty steadily since then from what I've seen.
