Some people prefer certain RP and prefer to go about it in this way. Best thing you can do is let them post their threads for interest and if you have no interest then just leave it alone. This honestly goes for just about any subject concerning RP. Like it? Cool. Participate. Have fun. Don't like it? Navigate away. I highly doubt those people will come siege you with RP you don't favor.

Personally, I've had too many experiences where I'm RPing something in public and folk try to join in, which is all fine and good, and then do something stupid like emote eating elephant peanuts or playing a game boy (not making this up) and do nothing but detract from the quality of the RP. Other times, especially if there is any detectable villainous presence at all in the RP, you get 85 white knights gathering and emoting at you and unless that's what you're going for it quickly becomes a headache to deal with. I eventually just decided that certain scenes and things were best kept in /p with desired people involved. Other times, at crowded events, it's just easier on the chat scroll to keep it in party. If two people are around my character and obviously RPing but I don't see it I just leave them alone or send a tell first if my character would somehow get involved with what they're doing. If something can be in /em I do that. But generally, depending on the context or if someone involved just doesn't want an audience that day I have no issues with /p.

It's worth noting too that it's 100% okay to play a Miqote without a tribal/clan affiliation aka 'city cat'. I RPed a Miqote once upon a time and found their lore to be a bit too character defining for my tastes.

I dig the AST change. Now instead of being slightly OP they're more balanced and have 3 DPS card options. Win/Win imo.

A Guide for First Time Travelers to Kugane
Teadrinker replied to Rookie Judge's topic in RP Discussion
/modhat This thread doesn't stand to improve from being left open. Going to go ahead and close it. -
Tbh this is a great idea with a lot of potential. Toss in some nervous passerby's and patrons with some Sekiseigumi RPers and you've got a party.

To be honest, I don't think the Ala Mhigans care who identifies as Ala Mhigan as long as you fight for the cause. They even have a friendly beast tribe over there. It doesn't have to be rdm/war of the magi related. But more to your point, without having a clear population breakdown of those ancient cities its hard to gauge. Midlander is generally a safe bet when you wanna play with the gray area because those buggers are/were everywhere.

It depends on how it's done. I think some people view it as "taking the easy way out." There's ways to write a very detailed and airtight story that's enjoyable to be a part of and not 100% grind yourself to obvious canon. It just takes far more effort than most people are willing to put in or they're scared what people will say/think etc. There's also just not explaining how your character came in touch with anything or using a painfully convenient McGuffin and now they just "are" very good at said skill because...reasons. I think this is what people get groany at. Luckily with RDM, there is a lot of room to be creative in my opinion. Which I think is tons better than slapping FORBIDDEN or ONLY X'S CAN DO THIS on a job. However, since there is so much space for creativity I think it means people are going to be extra groany if magical long lost tomes keep flying out of the night and smacking random PC's in the head.

I don't know anything about Monks, they didn't interest me. (Gasp) From where I stand, it's a lot more open to creative interpretation. The main questline focuses expressly on Red Boy Tia and his own little circle but it's never expressly said "The Crimson Duelists are the only RDM's." ((Disclaimer: I'm halfway through the line, correct me if need be. )) And tbh even if it did it wouldn't make sense to me because that would mean whatever stash of "Ancient Texts" they found around the time of Theodoric would be the only and last info on Red Magic which would be very hard for me to believe considering it's borderline 'contemporary' if you consider the sheer scope of Eorzea's timelines. Additionally, Red Boy Tia mentions the following:

While they don't actually mention who exactly trains him, they do mention...

/modhat In regards to this particular situation, the folk involved in this housing subject on Mateus obviously have no issue with people knowing them or being discussed and known on a public platform. Elsewise, they would not have condoned to these journalists coming and speaking with them and fielding questions for publication. In light of this, discussion of the issue is open. They have condoned their names being publicized so mention of names, at this time, does not violate any callout rules. Tactful and civil opinions and discussion about this issue can take place. However, bear in mind that even though mention of a NAME do not violate any callout rules, anything in violation of the conduct rules I.E. "So-and-so is a ___." will be removed and applicable warnings will be applied to your account. /modhat

Commander and leader material right here. Yeah. In Disney-ending land.

We'll see how long it takes. I have high hopes. But idk.

... That was a concern? I was under the impression that the time of the disconnect would be unique to the datacenter and the part of the globe it's covering. But we wouldn't put it past SE to do them all at once. ...at least based on DC's timezone is acceptable. ...until people wait for after the force-kick and remotely login after. Dingdingding. This ain't solving anything.

Everyday it gets harder and harder to believe this is a subscription MMO.

The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales
Teadrinker replied to Gegenji's topic in FFXIV Discussion
I honestly don't even remember what class he was I just remember he was a dickbag not mitigating tankbusters then blaming healers and it's my fault he's getting 2 shot cause I don't have an ex weapon yet so my heals suck even though I'm pretty sure ilvl gets scaled down..? ??? Trial Roulette. Like...I don't even. So he gets vote kicked for harassment and I'm like "Cool ok can just get my 60 tomes and go home." No, then his friend goes off. And these are dudes going through the MSQ like.. I had another tank while leveling that pulled the front half of a dungeon like it's HW then ate shit then started spitting at me. I get tanks got jostled around a lot this xpac but damn. Own some of this. Or at least don't be a dick about it. Like I have a friend who mains DRK (arguably the tank that got it the worst) and right now I swear most people that play that class are just bottomless holes you burn mana in but he's managed to figure it out and play it just fine so....idk. -
The Vent Tent - Poor PuGs and Other Terrible Tales
Teadrinker replied to Gegenji's topic in FFXIV Discussion
I just wanna know where all these bad/toxic tanks are coming from all of a sudden. -
RDM is next on my list and I plan on creating one. I can pipe back in here when I have more to offer.

Granted I'm still wrapping up but Doma just feels so much more smooth, solid and well done than Ala Mhigo in every capacity. Visually, storytelling, quest design, everything. Ala Mhigo feels like 2.0 questing to me. I wondering if both just had different writers.
