It's a pretty tricky issue. In theory a lot of issues related to role-play can be solved pretty easily through communication. Unfortunately a lot of people like to preach about it but then don't really go out of their way to nip problems in the bud before they fester and worsen.Â
This doesn't just apply to actual role-play either but heated debates on the forum - I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen someone role-playing a villain or a passionate poster on the forum branded a some variant of a 'dick' without the other side ever requesting elaboration or admitting that maybe they're jumping the gun and making an unfair judgement about another role-player.
Then again, some people are destined to ruffle each other's feathers and there isn't a lot that can be done about that. Sometimes the best route to take is to simply shrug and rise above it or make use of the ignore function.
Don't be afraid to reach out for additional help either. If someone's bothering you on the site, send a PM to the moderators explaining the situation especially if it's persistent. If it's happening in-game, talk to your guild leader/officers if applicable or create a ticket to discuss it with customer support.
