Also agreed. You can keep your soulstone on, but call yourself a CNJ. In fact, BLM, SCH, and WHM are all forbidden jobs under the lore. If you want to roleplay as such, you're roleplaying as a THM, CNJ, or a healing-focused ACN.

I'd argue that this is over-strict now that the ruins of both Nym and Ampdapor have been discovered and extensively explored and we're about to do the same with the Mhachi ruins in the Void Ark. You still shouldn't be RPing that you're the special one chosen by A-Towa-Cant or Ququruka but the actual art is available to be discovered in other ways, the new Black Mage quest-line is even built on that premise.

UM excuse me /joy for male Miqo is literally the best emote in the game, thanks

warning this may or may not be a biased opinion

There are female miqo'tes monks and hyur Dragoons. The secret arts of most jobs are being teached right now by several teachers... And Seekers of the Sun are bases on mating. That's how their society work. You don't like it ? Great, but that's the lore. Same thing for purring and kittens. That's the lore.

Looking down on people That "don't want to acquaintance the lore" and then spreading your... Incorrect view of the lore... Well that's sad. You seem to stick to a "classic" lore, but it seems to me that you don't try to understand what makes XIV's unique. I agree that angels, vampires and such are utter nonsense, but thinking that seekers of the suns' tribes are simply small funny-looking hyur villages and that there are only highlander monk is misinformation, and that may be worse, as it may seem the truth, and thus, spread misinformation.

Oh, and please...

I might have to let that behavior slide.

You're most gracious, my lord, letting us RP following the very lore...

Coming back to the origin of the thread : That's what gets under my skin. I don't care about ERP, as long as it's private, even exclusive ERP is no problem to me. I like people That search the lore and try to go beyond it (carefully...) but what I hate is people telling other how to RP while they don't even know their lore.

I know too little lore to dare to RP in FF14.........

role play in ffxiv should about tell a story of how you character backround and history and how character personality inactive with other

I haven't gotten all the way through the Black Mage questline, but from the beginning of it which I've seen, it seems to be lore appropriate to be a black mage, but not very lore appropriate to openly admit to being a black mage. So when in-character, black mages should probably still call themselves thaumaturges, to hide the fact that they're actually something more than that. It comes out sounding to others the same as if you were roleplaying as a THM, but isn't exactly the same thing.
