RP i understand ringfencing these servers as non RPers would probably spoil the immersion completely.

Oh about that, I will quote myself from another thread where I explain how it can be avoided…

@Vomlir-nagrand

Yeah and these people (griefers) can get reported and banned. That already happens in RP realms. If your name is a joke like “yourMama” for example and enter an RP realm it’s like asking to get banned… The same could apply to RP mode as well.

In addition, to the above measure with proper RP tools, griefing can be mostly eradicated. These tools can include the following:

• Option to enter a dungeon/raid instance and empty it of mobs for RPing (FF14 already does this). We can alco have RP-oriented instances for the same reason. In an instance you control who enters and who is not, therefore if you really want to have an RP moment with no obstructions from other players (or even other RPers), you and your RP group enter there and do your thing.
• RP-mode could include the option to enter a shard just for your group. Mobs do not drop items and farming nodes do not spawn (to avoid exploitation). But everything else works normally. This shard can be used as the private sandbox for a party or raid, where the leader will be able to initiate a custom quest-line for their group.

Of course, these are rough ideas and I am sure that if someone at BliZ starts caring about RP more tools like the above could be given to us.
