Ugh... please try reading again. I've said pretty much the same thing 3 times now... I give up. If you think I want RPers to go and hide in certain zones or think I'm condoning harassment, fine.
But... If you're actually interested. I don't think RP griefing is acceptable. But I understand that it happens.. I've spoken to griefers calmly and had fun with them afterwards. Griefing is a part of any aspect of the game and harassment in AO has its punishments. There should not be some special punishment for RP griefers... especially when, in so many cases, it can be avoided.
The RP community is by far the best at harassing people. Why? Because they're constantly su****ious of people. We're all guilty of it, every one of us posting here. Someone does something unexpected and it's griefing and they're out to spoil our fun, so let's harass them until they leave... or better yet... why not devise special punishment for RP griefers that's different from the punishment for any other form of harassment? Because it's okay to insult the penis size of PvPers, but if an ARK RP character has an avatar stand on top of them... instaban cause they're obviously trying to harass a player character! Right?
