Personally I'd prefer it if people treated the entire game as a singular tool and (rather loose) ruleset for RP instead of just the chat box and the /roll function. (Srsly wtb dueling) Â That's just more immersive to me and it's why I play the game instead of using tumblr, irc, or a forum. Â But this seems to be a clash between roleplaying game philosophy and forum role playing philosophy, and I don't think there's going to be any kind of consensus because it follows preference more than any objective logic. :T
If I only looked at the text & /random function id just go write my own fantasy rp story. But I also understand where some "Yes it matters" people are coming from.
Example, lets say you meet two people about to fight you. One is decked out in a endgame armor and probably the most badass glowing weapon in their class, the others in a tunic with a weathered weapon.
Judging from your /characters/ perception from your mind, which would they be more likely to go "This guy might actually kick my ass."
Appearance is just about as important as the actual combat imo. It's why humans even irl are more likely to fight another human than a pit bull. Despite the fact a 160lb human actually has a better chance against a 50lb pit bull than another 160lb human who might know some form of self defense or carry a weapon.
