so I got kicked today for...

[Aryalandi]

I love to rp, in game i always speak in character to some degree, i have done so since all the way back in xi, generally i don't even think about it, as long as i am in vana'diel or eorzea i am my character.

I have actually been told its like being in a party with an npc before (in a good way) all of that being said you will run in to people who ignore the role playing part of mmorpg sometimes, even when you solo (i have had it happen but only once when i was on a boat trip and decided to drg 2 hour a monster for fun) and they can get rude

But~ it is understandable when someone asks that a macro with a message attached not be used in a dungeon, there is generally alot going on already and sometimes missing something can be dangerous to the entire party, macro's with messages should be a special thing, an emergency move or something special that you will only do once in the entire party, it gives it impact and keeps it from being too much.

Establishing character moment: party is overwhelmed by links so you "my blade shall not falter before the darkness" invincible 2 hour, berserk, voke everything, warcry, weaponskill, icarus wing, weapon skill, kill berserk, toss up a holy boost move, holy 2 a thing, party survives and it meant something.

If you use it too much its just spammy

Everyone gets a kick once in a while, the last time I was kicked, I was in a Raid, we flew through the content and got to final Boss, then suddenly I was kicked for no apparent reason before we even started, luckily I had a LS member in group who then told me that a group within the group kicked me only to invite their friend so they could complete this raid, I was pretty damn annoyed at the time though.

This will make me sound like a dick, but if you're trying to RP with people who don't like it, then that can be extremely annoying. If it was a macro with sound,I'd of probably vote-kicked you too.

[Shadray]

They had every right to kick you, think the GMs call it differing play styles.

I'd suggest that if you are asked to stop spamming chat that you respect the people you are grouped with and remove the macro for the dungeon.

[Gunspec]

I'm just imagining a dragoon spamming their RP macro while dead on the floor.

[AskaRay]

I personally don't know why you would want to RP in a dungeon made up of randoms that you'll probably never see again...
On a map in your sever? Sure. In a dungeon with friends/premade? Cool. But a bunch of random people from different servers you'll most likely never talk to again? Nah, don't feel bad that they don't wanna RP with you.

[Raeletta]

Change it to /say and ignore anyone who doesn't have a channel set for Party + important stuff only. It's their fault after that point.

I have a chatlog labelled "event" Which is /p, /a and /fc. This is the one I select when I really don't need anything else in the chat. I have only one for fun macro for LB and that's in /say, people tend not to notice it.

Oh man those XI days. Those days when no one gave hout what you had on your macros.

[Lemuria]

I get that it can annoy some people but, honestly, kicking people out of the group for it is an overreaction. Sadly, despite the in-game warnings about kick-abuse the GMs never take any action against players who do abuse it. The warning itself fails as a deterrent when they don't have the guts to back it up with action.

[Aryalandi]

The way that you were kicked was uncalled for, and yes it was an overreaction, if it was endangering the success of the party and you were warned more than once then a polite "we asked you to stop and you ignored us, sorry but we are removing you." would be more than within the parties rights, but rubbing your nose in it and mocking you was just silly >.> and rather absurd sounding if that is what was actually said before you were kicked.

It is hard to prove cases of kick-abuse unless they can look at the chat logs (which i am sure they can..)
