I would, but unfortunately the moment I do I get lobbed in with those people and I start getting whispers from people who want to lok’tar my character’s ogar
And that’s why you don’t see people wearing the sort of thing - because of the assumptions of others about them
To me it personally depends. Druids, night elves, trolls - those I all see as characters that suit the minimalist attire look pretty well. And while I know in-character we have the ‘confesser’ look with Whitemane and Paletress… personally those’ve always struck me as fan-service attires.
I think it’s very case-by-case. You can usually tell if a character has sexual intent not only from the mog, but from the TRP too.
Then might I suggest you persist? Show vigilance. Ignore or Reject any who come seeking the Lok’tar. Perhaps then you might start building up a rep as an RPer who dresses in mageweave, cindercloth… etc. But whose ogar remains untainted.’
Become the hero Stormwind needs… Not the one it deserves…
Yoinking this if I ever want to roleplay one on a night elf. (Probably never)
victory or death…
It’s just a bother really - aforementioned assumptions will directly lead to people seeking to interact with you, or OOC messaging you, for explicit purposes and that just gets exhausting and demotivating on an out of character level. It’s why I genuinely dislike the general attitude towards mogs showing skin even if it’s true to what we see on a lot of NPCs - you essentially can’t use it unless you’re willing to deal with coomers approaching you all the time, and people lumping you in with those sorts.
It’s like a game of Outward. You either overcome it and emerge ever stronger… Or your fall very very deep into the depths of human depravity.
They haven’t done a kaldorei heritage armour questline yet (
maybe to complement shadowlands storylines maybe? ) so don’t lose hope yet, + I think because of how much the players also wanted this set to be the heritage armor, they’re trying to emulate something similar for the heritage iirc.
Just put “NO ERP” in the OOC section of your TRP. It has worked wonders for me.
Might just try that and hope for the best eventually, the Duskwatch get to walk with their thighs out and enforce the law and I demand I get to do the same 
Didn’t they say something about how Darkshore is basically that for Nelfs + Forsaken? I don’t want it to be true, but…
don’t think Blizz said it.
Know a ton of forumers who are like; “those races should get it last because of the warfront sets”
I’ve seen several people in the past having discussed interest/ideas in trying to roleplay a sort of sultry character as either a seductress or consort etc without involving any kind of graphical/ERP stuff at all.
So more, looking attractive, showing of a bit, while the characters themselves would be something more akin to the Asari Consort of ME1, basically non-sexual comfort, or information or espionage etc etc.
But I don’t think any of those ideas ever came to fruition due to things like being roped in with the goldshire crowd or other issues.
Hope remains…
It’s why I dislike these sort of people and how their nonsense affects others as much - it actively stifles people’s creativity through it.
You still identify as a role-player, have been RPing in WoW and likely and have friends in the RP community.
And the majority of mobbers, ERPers and many toxic players originate in RP communities.
I said it was a typical example of “you reap what you sow”, not that they were morally justified in doing that. Bringing the moral high ground to make any act of toxicity seem fine and noble is entirely your coinage.
I think a backlash against those who directly started the harassment and mobbing is understandable and if you demand to be pitied because your attempt at bullying someone backfired, as Rainwatcher did in the conversation you quoted, then I’m sorry but don’t ask me to do it.
Yet, this is what is happening, with people still indirectly defending these actions by shielding their friends and so on.
Some roleplayers surely do, but those that keep claiming how all OOCers should get out of their server don’t seem to be compromising anything, they just don’t have the power to act out of their selfish desire.
I don’t think this is true: RP communities never had a huge patience about most topics. This whole “fight the evil OOCers!” is just many drama-seekers wanting something to be upset about. Maybe they shouldn’t be as upset. They should just chill out instead of going on a new revolution about any topic.
They surely played a part in making these ideas more popular and spreading them to a wider audience, much like others here, I am sure.
After two years of memes, jokes, statements, and labeling anyone who disagrees an “enemy of the community” and stuff like that, I’m sure most players have either dropped out of the discussion, or have been convinced. Opinions can go a long way, and if someone tells you that he was unable to RP for 15 minutes, suddenly it becomes your issue aswell, because an RPer’s time is really precious, that’s why we discuss here for hours on end.
So you would not mind someone that constantly ruins your keystones/arenas/whatever you do ?
Yeah what will you do about me convincing everyone lmao what kind of counter argument is that
group =/= server, already argued this bit
Arent groups a reflection of the server they find themselves on?
Answer my question, would you, or would you not mind someone ruining your gameplay experience ?
Dude Kai what’s the point honestly this dude moves the goalpost from OOCers don’t grief at all, to maybe they grief and then to okay they grief but only for 15 minutes like
this man just not a honest mf
maybe’s he’s short on time cuz he has a bbq to catch in 8 hours so he has to switch his opinions to finish this quick
