Official Unofficial Request to Quarantine Balmung

[Risvertasashi]

Judging from other posts this OP made, I dont think they're concerend about RPing but rather have a strong dislike for Balmung and its playerbase. Since Cactuar shares a datacenter with Balmung, they probably just want that to change, so they dont have to "deal" with Balmung-people anymore. Thats why Balmung would need its own datacenter, so it would truely be in "Qarantine", as the title asks

Easier solution for the OP: Transfer off Aether. There is a second NA-datacenter. Without Balmung.

What really puzzles me is... it's not like cross server RP is a thing.

This happen when people take the "balmung is a den of ERP" meme seriously, I guess?

I think its either they're making the equation RPer = bad at the regular game or they ran into people (E)RPing in a dungeon one time to often - I dont believe thats anything that happens on a regular basis or anything since most RPers are most likely respectful enough not to take any form of RP into a groupchat in a dungeon, but over my time in this game I've encounterd a few who werent - from outright RPing in group-chat to annyoing, RP-flavoured macros for things that really, really didnt need a macro.

Or they're just salty about RPers for no real reason.

I have literally never run into someone RPing in a dungeon in my 17 years of playing MMOs so I have always wondered why people think this is such a rampant thing. And I always play on RP servers.

I have seen it.

But it's really rare. Only a severly small portion of the RP community goes into pug instances and does RP.

I've rp'd in dungeons before, but like you said, it was always in a pre-made. You don't know how the rest of the pug will react, you're very likely to be kicked, and if you've the majority vote, get the last players, be it through friends or even PF. AFK-kick them later or what not, if you can't run it unsync.
