Non-RPers Unite!

[Coglin]

Like any group, there are the vocal minority, RPers already have a server, so there is no need for SE to "give" us one. Now before hand when it seemed that all the servers where to be thrown in a bag and reassigned, it would have been nice to have an RP server pointed out. Even that was already being done by players though, choosing one of the servers and telling all the RPers to go to that server.

That doesn't change the fact that you made the false claim

Rpers don't want special treatment.

When in fact RPers posted by the droves, demanding SE to designate a special server for you. Thats about as "special treatment" as it gets.

Some of you are really a nice piece of work you know?

and some of you (roleplayers) take yourselves, this forum and this game entirely too seriously.

strange that people with such vivid imaginations would have such difficulty lightening up

People don't like being picked on over a hobby.

Well when your hobby is notorious for being obnoxious and pretentious...I mean, a good deal of RPers think they're a breed above others, holier-than-thou, or just plain more intelligent. Is it any wonder why people shun you?

It is this impression I receive of FF11 and FF14 gamers toward the other MMO communities.

That somehow their community is more mature, respectful, elite, or intelligent. When really, they're all the same. Good eggs and bad eggs in every community trying to enjoy one of their hobbies. The good lumped in with the bad.

Where gaming is the mother hobby. Playing MMORPGs a subset. Playing FF14 a subset of that. And someone from WoW hears a bunch of FF14 beta testers bashing a game he happens to enjoy. WoW gamer has bad impression of FF14 gamers, wants the game to fail to get back at them.

And then RP, folks who share a common language outside the target language, or other beliefs are subsets of that game's population. And though they have something in common, they're not united by it. Still differences of opinion, conflict, or elitism within each group.

Guilt by association or similarity I suppose.

Right, all RPers are pretentious and stuck up. Just like all black people are criminals, every jew wants your money, every mexican is lazy, and every american is an asshole. This is what we like to call stereotypes, and they don't tend to apply to everyone in a group. Or even to the majority of that group in a lot of cases.

And yeah...I'd love for them to get their own server so we...I mean they...can be quaran--I mean enjoy their RPing without disturbance...

I really don't think you truly know what you are talking about. Seriously, I'm not one for RPing on a MMO, but the very few I have encountered are nothing like you seem to imagine.

This. This is the reason why we want a server of our own.

Trolling in a troll thread? Unheard of :O

Eh, I felt I had to at least say something. I was getting bored by the back and forth arguing over semantics.
