Because people are dumb.

Reminds me sort of, of when someone kept sending me tells while I was afk/busy (and -after- already explaining that I can't respond...) saying no less than 2 times, "Oh don't mind me. No worries. I'm just RPing by myself cause I don't have anyone to RP with!"Â
It was about 4 times. When I returned, I told him I found his tells really passive aggressive and I felt like he was trying to guilt trip me by saying he was offended when I said it was passive aggressive. Then he proceeded to keep trying to get me into his FAMILY-FRIENDLY NO ERP CAPS FOR EMPHASIS BY ME linkshell. Even when I explained I was full.
My outlook on wanting to be friendly with the player turned mighty fast within the day.

I've heard about said linkshell. Shaming people, homophobia, and sexual repression seem to be family-friendly.

Pretty happy now if that's what's going on cause I'm not at all ok with those "family-friendly" values.

RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - Kage - 07-21-2014
The player was utterly convinced that every other RP LS or FC were interested or focused on ERP. And that everyone was trolling him and stalking him, including ERP things.
I'd honestly thought the guy had quit FFXIV and RPing until I saw his character walking around Ul'dah this last month. /shrug
Some. People. ><
RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - Cato - 07-21-2014
After playing numerous MMO's over the years I've found that in many cases the people that are very vocal in their dislike of ERP are often those caught indulging in it. I've discovered that FFXIV is no different in that regard.
Though in all fairness role-play communities are also guilty of being too tolerant of ERP to the point where questionable stuff can pop up frequently as a topic of conversation despite individuals expressing politely that they'd rather discuss something other than how often someone's Miqo'te happens to get laid in Costa Del Sol.
RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - Auralily - 07-21-2014
Just playing through a new character, viewing the story line. Kind of noticed that even the Inn doesn't sound -exclusive- to adventurers, it just sounds like it benefits them more than other people. After coming back from my story quest, and there is no spoilers in this.Â
"Baderon: Now, it sounds to me like ye've done everythin' ol' Staelwyrn asked o' ye an' more─justifyin' me generous finder's fee in the process. Much obliged, lass!
Baderon: As fer a reward...well, she's a lonely lady, this Drownin' Wench o' mine. 'Ow'd ye fancy keepin' 'er company fer a spell...with free room an' board?"
I know you can interpret that how you wish, but just by that wording it sounds to me as if you pay for rooms, but you help that dude out, you got a free room. He doesn't, at any point, flat out say that You get an Adventurer exclusive room for helping! Just, we can spare a room for you anytime for free. He even references his overall tavern without bringing up the fact it has services for Adventurers only.
Compare the Inn use with the leve use. This he does clearly mention the Adventurer Guild.
Baderon: Not that ye'll 'ave much time fer lyin' around, what with all the leves ye'll be doin'. Oh, didn't I mention? I'm puttin' yer name down fer leves.
Baderon: Our guild draws all manner o' clients, offerin' all manner of odd jobs. 'Onestly, ye'd be amazed 'ow much folk'll pay to avoid doin' an honest day's labor.

It weeds out those people right away.
I kinda laugh at the ERPquisition that happens in MMOs. On one hand it's kind of understandable that people do not want to get subjected or enrolled into plots that heavily feature it. However, to go to that extent is outright ludicrous.
Plus, if there wasn't ERP, we couldn't have ERP blowups/mistells.
RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - Vysce the Lad - 07-22-2014
Wah! This guy!!!Â
He got all pissed because I was playing a non-adventurer too. Least I think it was this guy. L-name and got pissy about my poor little guy not being an adventurer. >.> If he hadn't gotten his panties in a twist he would've figured there was a -reason- the person I was rping wasn't an adventurer.
Tbh it really bummed me out and I was in a gross mood all day. >.<
RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - Aya - 07-22-2014
My suggestion for dealing with this fellow is to point and laugh, liberally!
RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - Aerghwab - 07-22-2014
This guy sounds like a real peach. I wonder if he actually roleplays with anybody, or if he just spends all the time he could be RPing just berating people for not conforming to his limited view.
RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - Kage - 07-22-2014
Well according to the logs, L-name got G-name to back him up. So he obviously got -one- person to RP with him.
RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - TheLastCandle - 07-22-2014
I remember the Weirdly-Vocal-Anti-ERP-Guy-Who-Ended-Up-Getting-Banned-Here, but L-name is definitely not an alt of his. L-name is a legacy character, as he has the chocobo; Weirdly-Vocal-Anti-ERP-Guy is not. This means that along with L-name's good friend G-name, there are at least three people on Balmung who act like this. And that makes me sad. :<
RE: Non-Adventurers and the Quicksand - Kage - 07-22-2014
Oh yeah. Weirdly-Vocal-Anti-ERP-Guy is definitely not L-name.
But L-name does have a friend in G-name. Who also sounds pretty douche-y.
Hence, I'm glad I know the names of all three and hence can avoid them.
