Honestly weâre talking about 8 or 9 years ago so he might have. All I remember for concrete was they were really interested in -male- Forsaken.

Sounds like a particularly shadowy kindâŚ
It seems like Blizzard should really be taking a more active approach towards preventing ERP in the game tbh. If there was a sh*tstorm about it in the media, role-playing servers could be shut down or they could even remove the custom emote function/etcetera.
I donât think itâs the responsibility of the community to witch hunt/etc or to seek âjusticeâ on the behalf of potential victims because quite frankly weâre not Batman.
@ The Retinue, I donât really understand why you, as mature adults, think itâs okay to role-play out smut in the game and advertise, even in the past tense, that you do it or condone it.
Itâs a bit weird.
Wonât really change how I role-play though SO.

I do agree. The great forum drama of years past were very entertaining, but ultimately I donât think they actually accomplished anything and often villainised people who hadnât really done anything wrong (I especially regret what happened to players like Mianette).
But as I said previously, posting threads invites discussion; the rules and ERP are part of the guildâs concept, so itâs up for debate and reference. The forums are open and for the purpose of it, after all.

Drama threads are pretty dumb, by all standards. Iâm all for [exposing] a player who might be harmful in one way or the other, but as we all know these discussions spiral from âhey dude you didnât lead your guild this wayâ to âfckin pedoâ kind of ridicule.
Itâs during those times that you have to start wondering whoâs worse; the ERPer, or the salt spewer.

Exactly, yeah. Looking back on a lot of those drama threads, Iâm pretty ashamed of how I behaved at times. Too much time spent laughing at someoneâs expense as they were publicly shamed, forgetting or not caring that there was still a person behind it. Especially when they hadnât done anything wrong.

Just wanna give mad props to all the posters here for keeping me sane during work. This thread has been a journey. Peace.

I feel sorry for you man; where do you work that this feels like sanity?
I reiterate what Iâve said in other places;
- If people have examples and proof of illegal or ToS breaking things? REPORT THEM TO THE RELEVANT BODIES.
- Claiming that X or Y faction/race is some sort of hive of scum/hub of purity is disingenuous arrogant nonsense. Both side have their cretins, in a sad array of multiple flavours.
- Some of the white-knighting here is just as repulsive and repetitive as the âcrimesâ said people are supposedly chasing. Again, SEE POINT 1. If you actually have something important then REPORT IT. Otherwise you are literally just tooting your own horn.
I really wish AD could get over junk like this. It gives the bad rep that RPers have both cross-realm and within gaming as a whole some sort of traction, which it doesnât need or deserve.

I could use this same rhetoric to ask why you are sitting indoors playing around on some forum, or playing video games at all. Why do anything when you could be doing another thing? Why game when you could work? Why sleep while you could hit the gym? Why go out with friends while you could be sitting at home working on some presentation.
Itâs a flawed rhetoric, and usually a sign that its user has nothing of any note to say.
Man, you must be slow on the uptake if youâve never seen people complain about goldshire. The difference is, no goldshirees are making threads on here to advertise their nastiness. No one would care about Bayerleyn right now if they hadnât jumped into the spotlight.

You shouldnât stop at Goldshire complaints if this is a serious issue. Heck, shouldnât even go straight to Blizzard. You need to take this higher. Get it mass media attention/etc. Blizzard is a game company, not law enforcement.

I would if the effort-to-amusement ratio was good, but the way I see it itâd be far more effort than amusement.

And THIS is the attitude that hacks me off.
All the white-knights here go for the easy targets. The forum posters, so they can stroke their own egos and their own âpurityâ.
If you lot actually gave that much a damn youâd be in GS reporting and screenshotting and trying to make the place a useable space for normal RP again. THAT would be worthy of actual praise.
But no. Gotta get them forum points in.

That actually has been done in the past on Perroyâs streams. Oh what a grand time it was, putting markers on the e*pers and watching some of them fade. Those times are long gone, for some reason.
