I have mixed feelings about this new status icon. I really wish that it was added a long time ago but there we go. I now feel forced to use it to let others know that i'm available for role play.
Now, I don't play with player character names on as I dislike blue letters hovering over peoples heads all over the place and especially when role playing.
So with that, I never see anyones status icon anyway unless I target and click them. I was just role playing yesterday and somebody whispered me the following:
"Are you a roleplayer?" (At this moment I am quite clearly roleplaying with someone.)
"You know there is an RP tag right?"
So I replied, Well I don't see peoples names or mine so I kind of just forgot about it.
"Well people might get confused..."
And he just went on and on.
Fair enough if the status icon had been around for quite some time. But it was a day.
I hate that I feel forced to use it now whenever I go to role play. I'm pretty much open to role play wherever I am unless i'm crafting, by the marketboards or in duty. All the places you usually don't find anyone being IC that often.
Does anyone else feel abit 'forced' to use this to indicate whether they are available to role play now?
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate their implementation of it but I feel it's a little late for it but I do believe it'll also just be a matter of time before we all get used to it too.
