When do we beat non-RPers at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.
AD has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.
It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Draenor sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing giant mounts. They’re bringing OOC yells. They’re campaign griefers. And some, I assume, are good people.
But I speak to RP guilds and they tell us what we’re getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re sending us not the right people.
It’s coming from more than Draenor. It’s coming from all over Twisting Nether and Killrogg, and it’s coming probably— probably— from Defias Brotherhood. But we don’t know. Because we have no protection and we have no competence, we don’t know what’s happening. And it’s got to stop and it’s got to stop fast.
my point remains that you’re not ever expecting or wanting to accidentally/randomly happen upon a mythic raid - it’s something you’re actively looking for/others are looking for in you
For Blizzard it is very obviously just revenue (which is presumably why the rules are enforced in the half-hearted way they are)
If you’re talking in terms of a roleplay server I think it’s the number / daily activity of the roleplayers that make up the roleplaying scene. If an RP server has a dead RP community but a massive OOC population, it isn’t healthy (with regards to its stated purpose, at least)
We need that 0.3% of the population right now or this server is finished …!
Every RPer was an OOCer once. I don’t think you understand how this works. As Roleplayers quit you need people to start RPing in order to make up for it. And if you just scare off everyone…
you’re right, i was once a non-roleplayer on a non-roleplaying realm
i wanted to try roleplaying so i made a character on a roleplaying realm
when you first boot up wow for the first time ever, you are not directed to a roleplaying realm - it was/is/always has been something you actively choose to enter
I have explained it. Non-RPers are exposed to RP frequently, it might make them want to try it. That exposure isn’t there on non-RP realms.
Non-RPers contribute to the server’s economy and non-RP activities, which is also a benefit to RPers.
Non-RPers are the lifeblood of raiding guilds, I’ve never been in a raiding guild that was a majority role players, though some had a lot. I think Safety Dance had quite a lot of them. For RPers who also want to raid on the side, these guilds make playing on a realm like this far more attractive.
