What is your view on RP or ERP and why is it so taboo within the community?

[Madepossible]

If people have questions or anything about RP/ERP I can try to answer what I can. Been doing RP for 15 years and ERP for half of that (no shame). I have thought of just making a tutorial video or something on youtube at some point. . .

I do wonder how you can detect someone is RPing or not, and will most ppl stop RP in dungeons if u tell them to or are most stubborn and go dick mode? Just trying to understand how and why ppl RP and how to approach them.

I assume you mean in regards to being out and about in the world. Most of the time the easiest way is if they are doing custom emotes (/em) or talking about something about the game but in a more life like term (such as instead of saying DPS they might say something among the lines of 'X persons was hitting harder than they should' or something like that.. Another way is if they are using emoji's I think is the best way to say it. The only other thing other than the RP tag and use of brackets is if they are using quotation marks when they talk which for most RP'ers is a way of showing that their character is talking.

In regards to dungeons, most RPers don't RP in dungeons unless it is with other RPers. Most of them should be respectful and stop if you ask them but you may run into those who 'play the way they want' and will just make it worse (which by all means kick them cause I would). Good amount of people who RP though have a good understanding of when it is and isn't acceptable.
