I think what makes telling people not to join more than one linkshell even more hilarious is that with the implementation of Companies, you're basically telling people they can only have one social circle.

Back in XI, it was a little more understandable. High-end, end-game LSes would compete with one another for HNM monsters, for example, and so competition was high. But with linkshells now all but totally relegated to a social role based off the belief that Companies will take on a more guild-like mantle in the game, it just makes no real sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's people who RP or would be curious enough to try RP. However it's due to the fact those who RP (And usually RP is associated in some form with D&D or LARPS even if done online.) are considered outcasts that people jump on the bandwagon of hate or shun others who do RP.

Bottom line: Those who RP are classified as nerdy teens or parents living in their parent's basement and are unloved. They have no lives and shudder in the thought of outside contact or the real world.Their only friends are a sock and vasoline.

Sadly this is perceived by many and even if it's not true, they're inclined to believe it just because of its convenience. It comes down to if one doesn't understand it or it seems "unpopular", then it's something to hate.

Thing is this is a preconceived notion about -all- people who play MMO's, so we are considered beneath that...

nerdy 50 year old hairy men living in their grandparents sub-basement, hated by all, less than no lives, vomit and convulse at the thought of the "real world" with our only friends being bacon grease and our aunts old underwear that we stole one day back in 1975 when we saw them and almost had a heart attack that they belonged to a female...

Bad times... Moogle

Aww man.. You guys have it rough, glad that I live in a country that reacts to RP with a kind of "Meh.." attitude.

Some idiot thinks its kiddies who RP.. obviously they're unaware that most RPers are adult as kids these days refer shooting games and stuff (even the younger RPers here would agree, I think!).
Some idiots think they can roll a catgirl and have people give them gil (we RPers -hate- beggars, don't we?).
On the other hand, some seem to have a decent grasp of what RP is or not care about it at all, some actually have an interest and some mentioned that retards would go "ewww RP" and stay the hell away.
All in all, a minority of retarded responses, and a decent amount of mature ones.

I'd like to go in there and be like, hey buddies, roleplaying sharpened my writing skills. It's why I have a job with Blizzard Entertainment. What are you doing?

I just can't believe the comments made on RPing on that thread. Not used to it, most dutch peeps I know and I met on different games, all loved to RP.

For them it's about the experience of actually making something out of a game instead of, rushing to end-game, gear collecting status. That is just wrong,

I am not offended by it at all, people are free to think and say what they like. But there is a way to make it sound really bad and that is what they did. It's like highschool all over again, and this time not with kids, but with probs people 25+?

It's like they never learned anything in life. I respect them for their way of playing a game, but I would recommend them doing the same to us. They don't like RP, then GTFOOH! (get the f*ck out of here).

@ the 1 linkshell post: Didn't you pay for the game mate? Isn't it your game-time? Your freedom? Even though there might be some friends in it, i would advice you to look for a different LS that actually lets you play the way you want.

Which SE did a great job of getting rid of the SMN = WHM and PUP = solo class, from FFXI. And made more diverse character builds in FFXIV, played right, non of the characters in FFXIV is different, besides the stat points. But you want the self healing skill from a PUG as a mage, go and get it. Awesome that is +10 for SE Exclamation
