Don't even act like they're there. There's nothing they can do to actually mess your roleplay up, aside from spamming chat perhaps. But even that can be countered by blocking and reporting. You can't stop them from dancing in their underwear, but 90% of roleplaying is text based anyway. Who cares!
Lack of acknowledgement is frequently seen as both an admission of being troubled by their actions and a challenge to be more intrusive. I hope you don't mind me saying so, but we've all had it good on Balmung, in regards to trolling. 1.0 was seen as so bad that it couldn't hold the kind of players that really organize their efforts when it comes to disrupting roleplay.
The people joining Gilgamesh contain a social element that is for more persistent, toxic, and aggressive, than anything we've seen in FF14 so far. They will find ways to escalate any encounter they see as challenging, and there will be far greater numbers of them than we are used to coping with. I genuinely believe the stone-wall strategy will prove largely ineffective in dissuading these individuals.
