I won't keep having a conversation right smack out in the open that all can hear. I'll just let whoever the private rp is starting to happen with to "lets go to party for this convo". Its a simple fix to not have to deal with griefers or people you don't want getting into your rp. If its really a big deal we can easily head off to a more secluded area or a private instance to finish the conversation.
Yea, see, I don't subscribe to the notion that roleplayers should feel the need to take RP to party or whispers just to avoid griefers. That takes the RP away from the server. But I sure as hell am going to ignore someone who runs up all "HAI GUISE *takes off pants*", because 99% of the time, that person is a griefer through and through. I've also ICly responded to someone walking up and asking in /say where they could find glyph vendors in TERA, so it's not like I just ignore any walk-up RP that happens.
But I am not going to hide away just to avoid griefers. I am not ashamed of my roleplay, and I'm not going to act like I should be.
I think if you don't want anybody coming into a private convo to mess it up well turn to party chat and tells.
So don't get me wrong I am all about not hiding my rp either. So I totally agree with you.
