✭✭Throwing mudballs at someone specifically to ruin their fun could be considered griefing."The Heritance are racists yes? Idiots. But dangerous, destabilizing racist idiots." - Razum-dar

✭✭✭Seems like a L2RP issue. Did you try incorporating the mudballing into your RP on the fly? Seems to me that's what the l33t rp'ers would do.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA25 -

✭Once I was messing around with mudballs and I saw group of people outside Dragon Star and throw mud at them. Then someone wrote some rp thing and I run away in panic. One of them followed me and mudballed me back. Sorry.

✭honestly, to me it just seems like a normal player interaction. Maybe they need to make a private mode in this game so people who don't want to spontaneously interact with other players can go do whatever it is they do.“Whatever.”

Mudball is a great weapon against people willing to tell long stories to everyone in highly populated places.
Anyway nothing wrong with some mud in your face

This.
Using a mudball on someone is hardly a reportable offence lol. If you don't like it, go to a more private place. Or incorporate into your RP as someone said.AKA The Goblinator, PC/EU3 -

✭I would say the only time mudballing could reasonably be called griefing is when its done to people at the outfit station, since that legitimately disrupts what they're doing. Any other time you can simply ignore it with no ill effect.

Jarryzzt✭✭✭✭[snip]
Ugh. No, you know - here is my advice to OP. Submit a ticket. In fact, get every member of that RP group to submit a ticket. And if those somehow fall through, keep resubmitting then ad infinitum until either you or that mudball-throwing individual are banned (and I personally do not care which happens first).

Plus snipe and wrecking blow spammers, wouldn't they be effected by this 'banable' clause?

✭✭I'd suggest you need to lighten up a bit and accept that in a game where other peoples actions can impact what you are doing, this sort of thing will happen.

✭You'll get reported by them. Many RPers in this game are not very friendly, on rare occasions have I found actual RPers worth playing with. Most of them want to setup elaborate stories before hand instead of coming up with things on the fly. I find it rather creatively lackluster.Master Debater3 -

what you described sounds like a very sad community that lives inside an imaginary loop and shouldn't be part of an MMO community lol...2 -

I think it depends on the intention. For ex. throwing mudballs at people at dye tables isn't appropriate. It's easier now that players can have their own personal dye tables in their homes, but it's still not appropriate.IGN @ emilypumpkin

Eiagra✭✭✭✭✭I seem to recall at one point the devs supporting the roleplaying community quite a bit, and griefing roleplayers was considered a bannable offense (though likely for a short duration). I'm not certain whether that has changed or relaxed since then, but the devs took the Social quadrant of Bartle's Taxonomy pretty seriously.
Honestly, they're not doing you any harm, so I don't see the point in wrecking their fun with trolling. And if it is still something that reports will be seriously addressed for, it's not worth the trouble. Save the mudballs for when you're waiting for a dolmen to pop.██████ █████████ ███████ In verity.2 -

That reminds me of the cinema advertisement I used to see as a child (ca1960) when I went to the children's matinee (well, where else would I see Suzanne Pleshette?)on Saturday mornings "You're not a man if you don't smoke Marlboro" How times change!1 -
