How to Handle RP Raiding Players

[SpookyGhost]

Had a SMN in Neverreap with a Dreadwyrm book once. Not glamoured or anything, just kinda... using it. People are weird.

Had a player show up in Neverreap who was an Archer. Intentionally an Archer. Ironically, I can't tell you the player's name, but it involved the word "Archer" and was I'm guessing the whole gimmick. When I asked why, they said something along the lines of "If you're worried about DPS being slow, you not doing anything makes it even slower." I was willing to give it a shot, but with that sort of response.... They're purposely making the content take longer. I dropped. Maybe I should've stayed, but after running like 100 Neverreaps the last thing I want to do is spend extra time there.

That's not a roleplayer. That's an asshole.

[StouterTaru]

That's not a roleplayer. That's an asshole.

Maybe he's roleplaying as a troll.

Maybe he's roleplaying as a troll.

Like a... Trolleplayer?

Like a... Trolleplayer?

Considering that we got people who do the same thing in forums and stick to it like a craft, I would not be surprised.

[Parodine]

Why others and myself suspect him of being a RPer is the fact that he does glam his gear

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

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

I've been grouped with that person, though they actually did pretty well, used a lot of cross class skills that made up for the lack of job crystal. was overall an enjoyable run with em.... Granted you could have met someone else entirely but yeah

The cross-class skills really can't "make up for" the lack of a job crystal with the 50-60 skills being locked behind it.
