    I doubt any serious RPer would get annoyed by some fool activating an emote, unless it's purpose was to disrupt RP. And quite frankly, if it was done with the purpose of disrupting RP, they have every right to be mad.

    This.

    I find it funny how I never encountered these "meanie roleplayers" people speak of.

    so by your logic - they never exist?

    I mean...if I was Roleplaying and someone with the name of Lumbermill_Emperor approached me and started hammering away I would go into a panic thinking something was wrong with me.

    Maybe my staff was broken and he in all his majesty was trying to fix it. I mean he is a lumber expert after all. 1.0

    Nope, I'm saying I don't go around trying to disrupt other people's gameplay. It's rude :)

    People's reaction more often than not depend on the way you treat them. If you are only meeting rude roleplayers, maybe it is because you are being rude to them.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Hey, did you guys know there's an achievement for Feeding the Trolls!

    The feigned ignorance professed by the OP is a metaphorical feed pile, but I don't think the achievement translates to the forums.
    May all beings have happiness
    May they be free from suffering
    May they find the joy that has never known suffering
    May they be free from attachment and hatred

    First reply is 12:18, second is a minute later. Even from the one sided story we know:
    -You purposely went near them
    -You used a noisy emote.
    -You AFK, meaning any request for you to stop would have been ignored.

    I don't RP, but I don't mind them doing their thing. This is just trolling. You got your response, and honestly, compared to replies others in this thread say they've gotten, this was a pretty mild one.

    i remember one time a few months ago i was in the re-dedication shrine room in wayrest helping a brand new player with their build ... they had their points spread out between health magicka and stamina ... so i was trying to help them fix their build ( cause they asked me to ) well... someone else had asked a question in zone so i replied to them.

    All while an RP wedding was going on.... went to message the person back that i was helping and didnt realize i had clicked on the wrong person in zchat and started typing away to come to find out was one of the RP'rs and i asked a bunch of questions to get a better idea of what she was looking for in her build... the RPer got very upset and started yelling at me ...

    I apologized and mentioned that i was messaging the wrong person... but yeah she had freaked out on me lol

    That's very judgemental... Who are they to say you weren't RP'ing as a skooma-addled hallucinating carpenter that was furiously trying to repair the wheels of his cart? "WHY WON'T THE NAILS GO IN??? WHY DOES MY CART HAVE FUR??? WHY IS THE FLOOR MADE OF SWEETROLLS???"

    Alright, I'll bite. You found some RPers, you set yourself up "near them", and began to use a noise creating emote, then "walked away" for something. IF the person hadn't ignored you, you would have put a link in to this discussion...

    And you're NOT trolling?

    There is more to this than he is showing, more to just flame the RP's which is sad.

    Something tells me that we don't have the WHOLE story. I can see the OP jumping around spamming /hammer 72 times in a wedding dress like complete moron.

    It took more than 1 /hammer emote to warrant that kind of reaction.

    So you toggled an endless emote, walked away, and expected someone not to get irritated? You OBVIOUSLY had that intention when you did it - or why else would you do that?

    I don't RP and that would irritate the *** out of me.

    That doesn't surprise me at all from you.

    I can't understand why some players can't ignore the ones who want to rp. If they really bother someone that much, whisper them, ask them to group so their chat is private, or say you have a quest and you'll be gone as soon as you finish, then leave them alone. If they won't let you do what you have to for a quest or to get to the bank or trader or whatever, then you can report them.

    I don't get it how someone's rp can bother anyone, tbh.

    To me it's like spam. Filling up the chat screen when I'm looking for a WB group in Kvatch. You type arena and then there's a wall of purple emote text followed by a wall of white say text. Can't get into the group because text doesn't stay on the screen long enough.

    First of all, if you were doing that to his character, yeah it can be considered player harassment, which is indeed against the terms of the TOS you and everyone else has signed. While I personally believe ZOS pretty much ignores player harassment, people have been sanctioned (temp bans) and/or literally removed from areas where they were deliberately disrupting the play of others in the past. Even if it was "just nearby" that is a noisy emote and you were probably very well aware it would be annoying to those playing there. It's pretty disingenuous to claim otherwise. Imagine you are trying to have a conversation with a friend and someone's kid is throwing a temper tantrum 2 feet away from you and their parent refuses to do anything about it. And since it's a little kid, YOU can't do anything about it either. So you are forced to leave. Imagine this happens to you, no matter where you are, every time you try to talk to any of your friends. That's what roleplayers get every single time they log in. After awhile you really start hating those people. The number one reason there has been a demand for player housing is simply so rolepayers have a place to go do their thing WITHOUT being harassed continuously by other players.

    And THAT is why roleplayers are "so sensitive and mad."

    With that logic, everyone who isn't a RPer should get banned

    Saying that like it's a bad thing.
