Don't respond. 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.
Ignoring the trolls is easy, yeah, but it's hardly effective at getting them to leave, and it definitely isn't as satisfying as making them lose.
I've ignored my share of rp trolls, but I've never had so much fun with getting rid of trolls as when I turn them into my personal waifus. Â I've even made a few friends out of said trolls that way. :3
(Super nice to see I'm not the only one to use the more aggressive tactics. ;D)
