Double standards much?

I don't rp, but Balmung is my server. There are plenty of other people who don't like this influx of trolls either besides just the rpers. And even if I don't rp, if the rpers aren't bothering anyone else, why not let them be? Why must they be harassed for something they like to do and when they complain they are being harassed, told to get over it?

Plus, not to mention, the "bad rap" we get are actually from people from other servers. 90% of the erpers on Balmung are Wanderers or Travelers from other servers who want to just add to our "rap" and not their own server. It's like going to someone else's home and stinking up their bathroom and then telling everyone else that their home stinks...
There is a report player option built in the game. Nothing is stopping you from reporting them. At the end of the day Balmung got their reputation YEARS AGO long before data center travel was a thing. Then you just had members of Balmung's community do the stupidest thing ever to coincide with data center travel and buy those billboard ads. Your own community members actually created the flame to draw the moths, more so than the reputation Balmung has for being an RP server. You can avoid the congested zones, there are literally hundreds of other zones in game you can be in without being bothered by the temporary influx of travelers thanks to Rain Nightclub. Balmung does not deserve special privileges because of an increase in 2-3 city hubs in a game with multiple other maps and zones to get away from it.
