How to Handle RP Raiding Players

[reiichi]

I'm not sure what that has to do with roleplayers. Most of the RPers I know strive to be good at endgame so they can farm all the glamour items and gear. (Not to mention, unlock all the areas and get lore from quests).

It sounds like you've encountered a bad player. Or perhaps a troll. If they are intentionally playing poorly and not wearing the correct gear, you could try to report them for harassment and kick them from the party. Other members of the party would likely need to initiate a kick if yours is on timer. Sadly though, the DF has no issue in matching a kicked player back into the party they were kicked from, which should probably be filed as a bug.

Why others and myself suspect him of being a RPer is the fact that he does glam his gear, however he specially wears 1 piece that is 110. He also does thing like walking to treasure maps from Foundation to Sea of Clouds in stead of teleporting or even flying.

He doesn't seem like a troll since he does do the mechanics, he does clear with us, and he does talk with us. I think he just equips the gear just to give himself a challenge or that is his character he plays.

...glamouring as a sole sign of being an RPer? Err, ok.

If you aren't glamouring your gear you're playing endgame wrong.

Truth. It's my raison d'etre.

Except you can't queue an in-progress if you get kicked. Was a patch or two ago. And yes, there are definitely RPers who gimp their DPS for the sake of RP; sure, they're also trolling, but when they say that they're RPing so they can't use X-abilities, guess where the blame goes.


As for OP, just Blacklist them if they're being a problem. And if its a PF they're joining, just kick them from your party and report them for harassment if they rejoin.
