I legit have no idea what you’re talking about, I don’t even play alliance.
Cool assumptions though cause someone said their own opinion.
You didn’t post an opinion, you posted an accusation, no?
Amateur hour assuming only Alliance players “visit” Goldshire tbqh. No accusation, by the way, I don’t know you.
You gotta be careful with this. I used to have this attitude then you realize you’re standing by yourself in Cathedral Square wondering what happened because you ghosted all your IC pals rather than just telling them you weren’t in the mood. If they can’t respect boundaries, different kettle of fish.

It’s quite natural to be curious about who is talking smack you, especially when they are posting on an alt.

Scary. 
Can’t speak for all the guilds but my experience with PCU has been great. Maybe you shouldn’t throw everyone under the bus like that.
On topic though - probably names taken from other series “Ragnar Lothbrok” or “Jon Snow” sorts, typically rping in the same manner.

This isn’t a Blizzard thing, it’s an RPG thing. Player characters need to be kept balanced, so the 1000 year old elf wizard has to be more or less as strong as the 30 year old human wizard.
A Draenei that trained and fought for 25,000 would realistically beat just about any humanoid opponent, but that would make for a boring, imbalanced game. I literally don’t ever recall playing an RPG in which one race was completely busted because it was older.

ok but how do game mechanic based RPGs factor into writing based roleplay?

That doesn’t sound like a boring concept at all. Lots of my favourite characters throughout every medium are of this trope.
If it’s the “I hate war, but it’s a necessary evil if we are to survive”, then it works just fine. Huojin pandaren, as someone else mentioned are perfect candidates for this. Or night elves who hold life sacred and are mostly shown fighting out of necessity. As shown in Elegy, they even have a strong distaste towards inflicting excessive harm upon forsaken.
Basically any paladin at all works for this concept, too. Heck, I’d argue even a Scarlet-type paladin can have a negative outlook on war and violence, seeing it as merely means to an end.

I more meant that Blizzard made it acceptable in this setting, by showing examples of it, I know the game mechanics reasons behind it.
I have, a couple in fact. To a certain extent, White Wolf’s ‘Vampire: the Masquerade’ was built on that very premise. Generally the older you were, the more chod hard you were, or had more -potential- to be, than some other players. Also Twilight:2000, (Shows how old that game, and I am, that the year 2000 was -the future-. Two people could sit down to generate characters and one would massively outclass the other. It actually had a fairly interesting, if arbitrary way of deciding that. You didn’t get to choose your characters age. Basically you genned a starting character aged 16. You then chose what you did from age 16-20. (There was a whole load of careers) Everybody rolls a ten sided dice. If Player A rolled a 10, then it was the Year 2000, the Nuclear war was in full swing, and you got Basic Military training stats added to your character. If Player B rolled a 1, No War yet, they get to pick what they did between Age 20-24, If they then rolled a 10 or a 9, the War has started, if not, they got more skills as they aged from 24-28, and so on. The Sweet spot was a character in their 30’s or 40’s when the War broke out, But yeah, Age definitely determined your skill set at the start of play… Weird system, but fun…
Quite clearly in the Warcraft universe young races learn faster.
In my experience, no matter who you are or how you RP, someone out there is going to think YOU are the worst kind of person to RP with.
But for me
-
People who RP exclusively for romance. Doesn’t even have to be an ERPer, just someone whose primary goal when making a character is making sure they find a partner.
-
On kind of the same vein, people who basically RP their ideal partner. Just as bad as “self-insert” RP, if not worse, but far less talked about.
-
More of a pet peeve, but emotionally invulnerable characters. By all means, play an unpleasant, rude character. But make them interesting. Or, y’know, make another psychopath impervious to any response to their unpleasant behaviour. I guess that works…
-
People who disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time during RP events, or and screw around before you start so much that everything is delayed and everyone loses focus. Specifically, one of my best friends does this. You know who you are…
-
A little ironic on a thread like this, but people who are just so jaded and cynical about roleplaying, who actively look for things to roll their eyes at with every roleplayer they see, who will jump to criticise you at the merest hint that you might be roleplaying in a way they personally think is the worst… that they basically don’t even roleplay. They just sit around, blowing off every adventure or storyline, because they’ll find some reason why it sucks and some excuse why they need to just keep sitting around doing nothing, and in the end, they end up being the least enjoyable person to RP with because of it.
