This is the way.
I said it’s not a problem because 1) You can just put them on ignore 2) Most trolls get bored after 5 minutes after not being given attention. But why is a non-rper being lumped in with being a troll anyway? Like I said, i’ve been trolled plenty over the years, be it somebody with a random football toy, somebody going giant, or just somebody coming up to you and saying dodgy stuff.
Most people I know just react to trolling with a shrug and move on, why is that somehow less valid than your x amount of people saying trolling…did something else to them?
- Maybe friends played on it and they joined them 2) Maybe their server was dead and they thought they’d try RP but didn’t like it 3) Maybe they just picked it when they started and got attached to it over the years. (i’m sure I can think of more.) Obviously some people will make a character to just mess around and troll on, that isn’t okay, I’m not saying it is.
Has it? I can’t think of a time where there wasn’t casual RP in some form in SW etc. Hubs rise and fall over the years, sure, but I have never seen PvE players swarming cathedral square, they’re mostly always just in the trade square or Goldshire (which has it’s own kettle of issues) I think hostility to people who don’t RP is way more likely to damage it. (either by scaring people away or just straight up incentivising people to troll).
I don’t hate you, it’s the WoW forum man, it’s not the end of the world if somebody disagrees with me on it.
Other RP servers declined in the past and now there’s only AD left, really. It’s the fear of losing the last RP server they have.
Yeah, that is true, but didn’t those servers (DMF, ER etc.) Die all together, rather than just the RP community? Hence why they’re now merged in with AD in most regards (except SW I think)
Most people I know who have quit RP did it because they just straight up quit the game, for various reasons, rarely related to RP itself. (News headlines, not liking expansion etc.)
The desolation of Orgrimmar was made worse as RPers quit and as numbers thinned, more trolls descended.

Dunno about that. Just the argument I’ve seen. I’ve always been on AD so eh.
I don’t think those servers were ever anywhere near comparable to AD in size tbh. Anecdotally, I remember going on DMF in MoP I think and thinking “wow, pretty dead here” I think (for better or for worse) Things like discord have made it much easier to find RP communities and get involved so I don’t think I could see AD having the same fate.

People, lets not start another Keti’s Caravan.
Someone is looking for a guild but doesn’t want to be part of the RP community while on a RP community. Who cares?
Let’s just ignore this instead and focus on the RP that we care about. Moving on.

People who care and think they should go elsewhere, evidently.

Sounds pretty much like beating a dead horse to me.
Been there, heard it already, moving on.
Have fun, if that’s how you wish to spend your afternoon.

the same guys posting the same things over and over again this is your theme
If you don’t beat it, how does the meat stay tender?!
They’re not going to find anything here anyway, better to look in game where most social guilds are posting in trade every few minutes.
Honestly my opinion of the AD community was already low from what i’ve seen over the past decade+ plus but you people really strange this is why most people avoid our server or tag it as not just the clowns but the whole cirrus personally i’ve just unsubbed this terrible community along with the inept devs just turns me of from playing there used to be friendly people playing on AD but i see now that they’ve all unsubbed
ps: you’d never see me trolling role players as i tended to avoid major rp center’s anyway i spend 90 % of my time in old expansions or going to my garrison to sell or buy 
Its hard to be on AD. i got reported to my Guild master beacuse rpers didnt like my mog or costume while i was afk in orgimmar <.< #OrgimmarBelongsToEveryone #PvE’rsDontHurtAD
Then leave.
The fact that you say this while not being able to follow one of the simplest rules of the server, the naming one, is laughable.
You are 100% part of the problem.

They’re from Ravencrest. Or at least their main is.

The character they posted on is from AD, the one that has the awful name that isnt even allowed by the naming policy.
I know. They have another.
But their main isn’t from here.
Also, digging up old threads to essentially say nothing? Bleh.

Putting aside the chimping about “non-roleplayers get out, reee” I would like to point out that some roleplayers (maybe even quite a few of them?) like to actually play all or most aspects the game on the characters they roleplay with. Unfortunately many roleplay focused guilds do not facilitate this at all. Understandably so as organising events and keeping track of intertwining storylines is a job and a half already and the guild focused on more niche concepts see relatively few active members.
So what is a roleplayer to do if they would like to go for that Curve mount or get some Mythic+ runs in on their favourite character(s)? Maybe they would be happy to just have a chap or two tag along for random battlegrounds and transmog farming because it’s more fun with buddies. If we’re being really picky then perhaps they would even like a guild chat or guild Discord that isn’t silent outside of events.
Community and content focused guilds that don’t demand their members to roleplay but do demand them to be respectful of roleplay and maintain immersion for others (on Alliance side I used to be part of Silver Moon many years ago and they were very good about this) seem like a positive addition to the realm.

Should introduce some kind of air siren at 19:00. Then all non-rpers who didnt leave get turned into npc for RP events and all they can do is use their action bars to answer prompts that make them say npc things or do npc actions.
They can’t walk or talk in spatial channels outside the prompted chat events.
Also their mogs get auto-fixed to not be idiotic.
