Moderator brutality! Moderator brutality! You all saw it!
Silliness aside, my reasons for not supporting the idea has nothing to do with the vampire/demon class.
The truth is despite there being a push for official support of RPers in the form of an "RP" tag for certain servers or more extreme stuff like this idea, after nearly fifteen years of MMO roleplaying I am not convinced that official tools or mechanics designed to "support" roleplay do anything of the sort, in fact I think even minimal recognition like RP tags for official RP servers is completely unnecessary, does nothing to support roleplay, and in some ways is detrimental.
The only idea I've ever liked is the one that SE currently employs in XIV, allowing individual groups to mark themselves as roleplayers, the way we can mark our FCs as "role play" now.
We don't need anything more than that.
