Abuse of the TOS. Loophole regarding griefing/trolling. Needs a solution.

How can you prove it is harrassment? They could have just been a band that decided to RP in their favorite spot, and they just happened to be 'rp'ing' there.

Oh please stop. What's with you all in this thread defending this bullcrap? Them spamming fireworks and playing horrible music is not them RPing.
Yes, it's harassment. The devs acknowledged us and is very VERY well-known that Balmung (I guess now the Crystal DC) is pretty much the RP spot(s).
If you go in Ul'dah, there are a bunch of RP tags and people openly RPing and enjoying their time. How hard is it to respect people rping?
I get everyone and their mom hates Balmung/RPers but you know...why are you paying $13+ a month to sit their and bother people?

I'll bite
I draw the line where your "fun" interferes with mine.

You're free to not let it interfere with your fun tho. Like when you're taking a photo and some stranger is photobombing you. You can laugh, high five them and everyone moves on with their day, or you can throw a temper tantrum bc you think the whole world is out to get you and make the situation worse, ruining the rest of your day. People take shit too personal too quick.

Theater is scripted, roleplaying is improvisation. You act like you think your character would act based on their background, experiences, beliefs, alignment etc. Actors in theater have no freedom, maybe they even disagree with the way the character they play is reacting, but they are not allowed to change anything about it.^

I don't think you know much about theater outside Hollywood.

Or I can report it and let the GM decide what's allowed in their game and what not

No one is defending it,people just think it's taken too seriously. I mean if you read over it "someone spammed fireworks and played wrong notes over me in an online game"... People getting worked up about that is hilarious. That's how you make yourself a target for trolls in the first place, and you don't even realize it.

That could get messy. RPers could start getting reported for RPing as it could interfere with the "fun" of others.

Or, and bare with me here, you can try not be a twat ingame?
Mindblowing I know, and comes with the hazard of making new friends, but just think about it.

Then don't be surprised when people in return wait for you to make a false move to return the favor ^^ Live and let live.
