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

[Rymm]

You can RP and eRP as much you want. I have a problem when you do it publicly and makes me cringe so hard.
Keep that shit to your RP LS/FC and keep it from /say/shout/yell and/or any other public chat

If you are talking about ERP, then absolutely. Anything lewd or inappropriate, regardless of if it is RP or not, should be kept to private channels.
If you are talking about normal RP, then it has already been gone over multiple times in this thread that RPers are breaking no rules and doing nothing wrong when using public channels.

"I wish I could intentionally piss you off and harass you against your wishes"

While I can't agree with Naunet's sentiment, I do understand that having someone refer to your preferred aspect of the game as <expletive> and tell you that you shouldn't be allowed to do it in public can make it feel like you are being antagonized.

Until you get a situation like this one:

Another bad experience with RPers. I queued for DF to do my dailies. They were all happy and greet so did I, but they were all friends and from the same server (which I didn't know till way later). They started to have a lot of text and emotes with every skills they did and even talked how they were feeling as we were going in. we didn't even get to the first boss and they killed us 5 times because the healer was very scared and was telling to their group to get out of the dungeon (roleplaying of course) and one of the DPS was "always ready" to go forward and be the brave one aka meaning going ahead of me - the tank- and pulling everything (this was my first time in the dungeon....) and the other DPS was "new" to this new job so he was "still learning his new skills" again RPing all this. I got super annoyed, and I am sorry to say that I got to type in caps and tell them how frustrating I was. My first experience in the dungeon was irritating thanks to their damn idea of making a party of three people and queue together. I told them that I would leave at least they stopped the roleplaying. I didn't sign for their amusement. After that they went quiet and stopped their little game and we finished the dungeon really fast.

In which case...yes, they should keep it out of public channels as it is interfering with the enjoyment of the game for another player.

It's sort of ironic that your example isn't actually RP in a public channel (what I was talking about in the post you quoted me) but party chat, which is considered a private channel.

That being said, I think my post on the second page of the thread already covered that I don't think it's appropriate for RPers to disturb dungeon runs with their RP by making themselves a nuisance and burden to people randomly assigned to them in the DF. In all honesty, I've never actually seen this type of thing before in the 1,500ish dungeons I've run in this game (and would certainly never do it myself) but people keep bringing it up so there must be someone out there stirring up trouble.

While it can be argued that a party chat is a private channel, it can also be argued it's public when you use DF and get a random person who is not part of your group joining into the party.

As for your never seeing it in your "1,500ish dungeons", it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I rarely, if ever, get a bad DF group(and that's in my over 2,000 dungeon/trial runs). Does that mean they don't happen though others keep bringing it up? No, it just means I haven't experienced it to the state that others have.

It can be argued, yes. But in that specific line you quoted me I was not talking about party chat or DF groups. I was directly addressing someone who said that RP should be kept out of /say/shout/yell.

As I said, I made my stance on RPing in DF groups quite clear on the second page of this thread.

Exactly.
