Looks directly to camera
That was the stupidest OP I’ve ever seen. And that is counting Erevien’s horde hate-posting tirade.

The biggest question I have now is “why are half the avatars broken for me ?”

I thought that’s a “me” issue since I had that on both my PC and my phone, as well as also had discord images refusing to load earlier
 what’s going on?

Top tier bait, OP.

Yeah this is serious a post. As someone who has his fingers stuck in other RP piles, not just WoW AD, this is actually a common way of advertising RP and finding partners. Call me a connoisseur.

These ads are not usually this long and extensive however, and the flaw with them is obvious. The writer has a very specific idea in mind and the chances they find anything even close to what they are looking for are slim. Ive also seen people dividing RP into % and all I could think of is a personification of organic RP being shot behind the shed.

I dont see this working on AD at all

Summary of most of the comebacks:

  • “What?” I’m so confused/shocked (because this is so different from what the shocked responder does on a daily basis and if it’s different then it must be shocking)
  • “This is weird, creepy.” (probably because it doesn’t involve eRP or RL friendship, and guess what? Even if in involved RL friendship, then it would STILL be double creepy because it would be the only evidence the troll needs to “prove” that I’m looking for dating. And if it’s eRP instead of romance, then the trolls will just play along, consider it “normal,” have a few laughs, and move on. That’s how alien romance became in some people’s hearts today. And they defend themselves by pretending that it’s not the romance but the “way OP has gone about the romance,” and that’s just average playing with words to justify one’s aggressive stance or allergy toward romance). And some of the same people would consider writing romance RP with their “friends” not weird or creepy at all. Hehe. One responder actually wrote something along these lines, that roleplayers usually do this sort of thing with people they know and trust. Imagine writing romance or kissing scenes with someone you know IRL or an in-game long-term friend 
 yeah, that won’t be awkward or weird at all. xD
  • “Oh, you have ToS and strict rules? I don’t like that, so I’m gonna pass. I like to ‘roleplay and have relationships organically’ without knowing where I or the other person draws the line, and without knowing what the other person is exactly looking for. Your approach is ‘neckbearded’.” Usually, people who use slurs to summarize their response are just superficial folks who hopelessly lack depth and intelligence but I’ll explain anyway. I invite those who think that relationships shouldn’t be approached with rules, clear goals, or expectations to revise their record of failed RL relationships because my guess is that it’ll be very high. Having clear lines, expectations, and goals is a very good thing in life, whether in relationships or not, and even if this is not about a dating relationship, it’s still about a relationship of co-writing, co-adventuring, roleplaying, whatever. And without clear goals & expectations, it’s easy for someone to show up in-game to roleplay with me with an undesirable character, and when I politely share that, they rightfully say, “But you didn’t say anything about XYZ!” And guess what? In case that completely went over your head, it works BOTH ways; so, just like I shared my expectations and where I draw the line, any potential roleplaying partner will naturally feel that they have the right to also share any expectations or lines with me, especially if they don’t share the same expectations & lines I mentioned (but more often than not, they do). So there’s no “neckbeardness” or tyranny here at all; all this works both ways. And yeah, I needed to explain that, clearly, didn’t I? :slight_smile:
  • A related gripe is with the percentages. Again, without clear expectations & goals, I’ll attract MANY, yes, believe me or not, many hardcore roleplayers who just want to roleplay this idea and not actually play the game. If you don’t believe this, then try going to Goldshire on AD with War Mode turned off, and see for yourself the amount of roleplayers on AD who will be more than happy to roleplay romance with you, without or — more often — with eRP mixed in the bag. Or 
 they want to roleplay most of the time. Like, run one dungeon for 15-20 min, then roleplay for 2 hours, and I don’t have time for this if I aim to gear up my characters for raiding later. The percentages are about time, if that completely went over your head. So it means that for every 80 to 90 minutes of questing or dungeons, we’d have approximately 10 to 20 minutes of roleplaying. And obviously, nobody is gonna keep a timer; this is just an approximation or general idea so that nobody can tell me, “Oh, you don’t want to roleplay enough with me” and so that I do not attract full-time, hardcore roleplayers who aren’t looking to progress in PvE content.
  • “You’ll never find someone to do this with you.” But I did a few times already as I already mentioned. At least one person ignored that and “wondered why” it didn’t last. I already said, people move on, stop playing the game, get bored, whatever. But let’s ignore those things and be cynical instead, and think that “most probably OP became neckbearded and weird later on during the roleplays and that’s why his RP partner stopped roleplaying with him because that matches our biased, subjective opinions of him and it’d prove that we’re justified in disliking him. If a few people actually do or did this with him, then they must be ‘weird neckbeards’ too, even if they’re female.” Hehehe. Yeah, I don’t have anything to say to that but laugh. I, and those who do and did this with me, are very peacefully happy “weird neckbeards,” though, so you need not worry about us. xD
  • “Oh, OP hasn’t gotten back to us, trolls! We don’t want to feel that our trolling failed in instigating a response. If he didn’t respond to our trolling, then he must be a troll baiting us and we took the bait! Boohoohooohoo.” Well, to that, as I already mentioned in my OP, being contacted in-game via mail or whisper is slightly better for me because I just don’t have the time to check dozens of trolling one-liners from cynical people who cringe at romance, see it as weird and creepy, and welcome pornography and lewdness instead, find them fun and funny.
  • “Why does your e-girlfriend / RP partner need to be a cis-female / not black / bla?” If that is what someone concluded from reading my OP, then that’s a level of illiteracy that I can’t help them with. However, I’m sure half of it is just trolling. A common trolling technique is to basically instigate reaction by practicing injustice against a person, throwing false accusations at them that could be believed by someone illiterate or hopelessly intellectually challenged.
  • There’s one response, usually put politely, which suggests finding this by roleplaying with people in-game and checking if we click. This is certainly a valid approach but only for a hardcore roleplayer or someone who has the time for this kind of search. And I believe most hardcore roleplayers, and anyone who has spent any considerable amount of time roleplaying while searching for a general idea on their mind, know quite well that it is very, very challenging to find what you’re looking for this way. It involves a LOT of RP scenes that simply become general RP and never develop into what you’re looking for. This can be fine for a hardcore roleplayer or someone who has the time for it because they enjoy almost any sort of RP. However, I just don’t have the time to search that way, and yes, it’d take MUCH longer than the time it took me to write my OP. And I don’t even have enough time for general RP anymore. I used to roleplay often years ago but I just don’t have the time for it, so this is why I divide my free gaming time into mostly PvE progress (and that’s where the 80 to 90 percentages came from, it’s about dedicating most of my WoW time to PvE progress) with a bit of the only type of RP remaining that I have enough passion for to keep doing it in spite of lack of time, which is romance RP as I said (and that’s where the 10 to 20 percentages come from: I don’t want to only RP and I don’t even want to mostly RP as a LOT of AD players do, I want RP to take a smaller percentage of time from my overall WoW times. That’s it.) The same applies to waiting for things like this to “develop organically;” which can take weeks or months of active roleplaying, which I don’t have time for as I said several times.

And ultimately, I realize that a lot of WoW players are so bored that they need anything, anything at all to become excited about or “eat popcorn” with, and when it comes to forums, trolling is a mandatory companion to this kind of excitement, and this thread provided the whole equation for them. And while I cannot say that I enjoy being trolled (while being accused of trolling by the very same trolls), I understand the trolls’ need for entertainment and excitement in these dire, boring times. So I’m glad you had a bit of fun or grabbed a few bites of popcorn, guys. It’s okay.

And nobody need worry about this “neckbearded, creepy weirdo.” Apparently, there are a few roleplayers into neckbearded romance or creepy weirdos, so I’m not gonna be left all alone with my neckbearded romance and weirdness. And ultimately, all I need is one roleplayer who shares my free time and goals of time division in the game. I know you like to take comfort in knowing that nobody would look at this favorably and that most people share your opinion but I think you’ll have to settle for trolling fun and know only disappointment if expecting the whole world to share your opinion that this is “neckbearded, creepy, weird romance.”
