RE: Questions on crime in Ul'dah and other stuff - Unnamed Mercenary - 06-29-2015
Just to comment on the above concern, re:RPing law enforcement, I've found that many of the players RPing such roles (you'll see a few of them throughout the thread!) have found a nice balance.
There've been a few threads on it a while back (I know there was one about Yellowjackets) but the overall consensus and behavior in game seems to show that the law enforcement does a pretty good job of not overstepping their bounds and the villains react accordingly. There's even been a trial event!
Of course, such a balance comes with consent. Players RPing villains in the public and people RPing law enforcement aren't usually doing this 100% out of the blue. There's some planning that makes it work. Once a character starts getting recognized in the open world (but can anyone really attest that they are?) then the more organic stuff starts to build up. So kinda like a city starting to acknowledge its own law enforcement.
