And what are your methods? Because our methods are limited when it comes to moderation.

It’s not a big deal though, is it? If it doesn’t lead to any physical assaults, who cares?

Are you for real?

@Kharaas-argent-dawn

But you associate non-RPers with griefers which isn’t 100% true either.

It isn’t 100% false either, so why would we want any of them? If getting rid of 100% of OOC players meant decreasing the griefing on this server by even 20% it would be 100% worth it

People being in front of the bank posting auctions and vendoring things off on their mammoth is disturbing my immersion

Are they not?

Ahh come off it lol, what do you think people will do? Say “I disagree with that” towards you really fiercely?

@Tehya-wildhammer

RP can’t take place there because of all the inherently disruptive people sitting about on their massive mounts, covering all the paths, and so on and so on

Right now, I’m just idling in the Valley of Strength. No /say chat spam. AFK’ing people? Yes. But nothing disruptive at all.

And as I have said. Those areas are busy because people are in the main capital city of their faction.
There’s other cities as well.
Thunder Bluff is empty. Where’s the RP there? Ironforge?

Just roleplay.

@Pullo-the-venture-co

Naming convention and reporting any Roleplay disruption. Exactly. Report those people then and move on.

I feel like some people in here would rather bully people off this server than acting reasonably.

@Croecell-argent-dawn

Are you for real?

Yes, I am. If it leads to no physical assaults, who cares? It’s not a big deal to go to the other “gendered” bathroom if the other bathroom might be filled with people, is it?

It will never happen though. As perfect as that might sound for us RPers, the Blizzard servers are open for all. We have to cope with it. If I want a 100% super super OOC-free server, I could also just join a private RP server.

Literally so what? Plenty of good things will never happen - that doesn’t mean we should strive for them

@Kharaas-argent-dawn

This is the only bit of your post that matters. If you agree that what I’m saying would be perfect for RPers, then there is simply nothing to argue about

@Sgoex-turalyon

Ignore function ingame is accountwide AND it vanishes the person for you.

How would this work if you ignore someone midraid/pvp?

Why do it in silence when you can preach the good book.

Then the OOC problem is worse then I thought. When I’ve joined AD I was like “Oh woow, look, this realm says Full! There must be Roleplay going around in every zone all the time! How awesome.” And while it’s not a dead realm by any means, it’s was still a bit of a letdown. It didin’t take long to understand why. It must’ve been somewhere in between the first mammoth spawning in my face and the first meme yelled in chat.

[Laviolette-argent-dawn]

Again a poor and obvious strawman Perroy, to think I care about the ex trash guild I was in. Try again sweetie.

[Watrus-argent-dawn (Watrus)]

If you log out and then back in to the forums, you should no longer be associated to that old guild… perhaps you should do this to avoid that confusion?
Unless…

[Metadk-silvermoon]

Oh wow I am no longer in this guild dang.

[Laviolette-argent-dawn]

Who is this death knight? Havent seen him type on forums before.

[Kharaas-argent-dawn]

Right, then what? We report ANYONE who WE see as “Non-RPer” simply because they are AFK’ing in the Valley of Strength/Trade District? Because they might not have a RP Addon? Where do we draw the line?

I’d rather have a “vanish” option for the ignore function than people bullying other people off the server simply because they’re not 1:1 with each other. That isn’t healthy for this community. Which is, yes, the last functioning EU English RP community.

@Athramus-argent-dawn-257317

People will not believe you Kharaas. In their eyes, having just one OOC player means they are harming the server, because they could grief and because having people /afk-ing in the auction house destroys immersion.

You make it sound as if it is so unreasonable for RPers to see it that way. It is about self-interest of course and we don’t wanna have to take the chance that an OOCer ends up griefing. The potential harm a griefer can cause is out of proportion to the value they have to RPers if they behave themselves.

Let’s take the interests of the OOCers into account now: They do not stand to lose much if they have to play on a different server. There is an abundance of active PvE/PvP realms that will allow them to play the way they like. They will lose the “immersive feel” and the world may feel less “alive” but they didn’t contribute to these things on the RP server anyways and are therefore not entitled to it.

Argent Dawn is intended to be a roleplaying realm and it is the last one of its kind. There is no feasible alternative. Of course the interests of the RP community need to take precedence here.
