Perhaps I'm late to the party, but this morning while running around I came upon a set of players dueling at a WS. So just for fun I set up and gave an IC running commentary in /say, essentially berating their lack of civility and fighting skills, to include a few shots at their jumping around and seeming lack of intelligence. Their reaction was amusing as they stopped their duel and one player (who obviously was not about RP) exclaimed "Dude STFU" as he proceeded to have a meltdown. And I laughed and laughed *wipes away a tear of joy*

    @Turelus haha just seemed like a good opportunity for some RP. Was entirely IC, the meltdown was just a bonus lol.

    I think I do plan on doing the same thing in banks with people that refuse to put away their pets. I mean why the f**k would you bring a bear or a lion into a bank or a tavern??

    I'd imagine if they were allowed to be used in combat you would find out during your next RP session. :tongue:

    And if someone PvE's in an inn (killing NPC's), or someone decides to duel in a RP area you guys report them for harassing and ruining RP experience. You should be ashamed.

    @Knootewoot I think you misunderstand. I don't report anyone for their pve or pvp play, all I merely do is talk IC in /say, commenting on such puzzling behavior as the incessant jumping, the bringing of pets into civilized establishments etc. Just words, friend, merely words.

    While you think this is fun, you do realize that you could be seen as just another jerk playing the game, right?. Someone people just want to move on to the next game so you don't ruin this one?

    Rather than wiping tears of joy, you should have been alarmed at what you did.

    You just said they have a lack of intelligence. You can't just say because you are ''in character'' that it's not trolling or insulting those players, to say something like that. I don't really care but the hypocrisy in your comment just caught my eye :)

    @Voxicity lol what "disciplinary actions"? I tell you that you (your character) appears to be dimwitted like a Nord. It is certainly an insult but not to you personally. I think you are reading much too far into it. By that logic if someone hits you with a mudball then you will be filing an assault report.

    @lordrichter as I stated previously the "childlike behavior" is as viewed by a specific character and is speculative and varies based on character.

    I would recommend that you keep some of those characters on a short leash. Feel free to use corporal punishment if they get out of line. Much as the stray AoE might trigger a pet that is out, and get your character into an undesired combat, allowing a character who has trouble in social situations, or might even have some more serious mental issues, to speak and act freely could get you, the player, in trouble.

    Edit: I am most certain that the character will not rise to your defense, in such a situation, leaving you the fall guy.
