If I am doing non-roll combat that was plotted OOCly with both people agreeing on the outcome, I give options for attacks and openings by denoting things with "would" or "would try to" since I can't control what the other person is doing with their character.
Counterpoint: Does "/em would..." actually add anything to a post that couldn't be conveyed otherwise? There is a difference between painting intentions and using "would" as a means for it.
Concession: I see regular events and "/em would" is one of the things that always pricks my immersion bubble.
I wouldn't call that a red flag in RP for someone is potentially problematic? It's just a personal preference.
