Avoiding Besaiders and Balmung

[Kailea_Nagisa]

he was "beat" on the general topics thread so now he does this? wow..... Jadi you really need to take you unfounded hate and go somewhere else, when I move to Balmug I will be glad you wont be there -.-

People please ignore him, he has been parading around the general forums with much harsher versions of what he is saying here..... but his old stuff did not work so he is trying this. I don't know what his problem is, but some of his "kind" in general chat have even refereed Besaid as an "infestation" and people needed to be warned so they could evacuate -.-

I have no problem merging into Balmung. I don't even see the communication 'problem' as an issue. I play table-top games from time to time, or at least I used to (those things eat up more time than MMOs). And I have played with people to roleplay the language of their character and I have played with those that don't, usually both at the same time. Once people begin to understand that some personal filtering changes, "Yo, man." into "Hail, friend!" and reverse as well, then even communication is a non-issue.

As someone who does not RP, I should be able to speak the way I want, and the RPers simply filter what I say into a different lingo.

And the same is true for those that do RP. They can say what they want, and as the meaning is obvious I can filter it into a less flowery sentence that retains all its meaning.

No prob Bob.

I'm from besaid and i have never have any problem of any kind for not RP. In fact i have never seen someone RPing...

I don't know what you guys thinks but (from what i heard) like 95% of the besaid community don't RP.

Jadi, I think you were kicked from parties and shunned for other reasons.

Heck at this time, I'd block you and blacklist you and I don't even RP. What's up with that.

Only I never see you online so... whatever.

In the 15~20 years I've played MMO's and before that MUD's I can't think that I've ever been kicked from a party or group. I don't see what this has to do about me personally but I've never done anything to you Hiir Noivl I don't understand this kind of response. Blacklisting me seems like a very petty thing to do over internet forum drama but your free to make up your own mind about things.

In fact I don't understand why you even want people who don't want to be on a RP server on Balmung.. what are you even trying to accomplish in arguing with me? I'm simply letting people know who may not be in the RP scene and have not heard this anywhere else.. where is the harm in that?

[Kailea_Nagisa]

There is no way you have been playing MMORPGs for 15-20 years, and have the kind of attitude you have for RPers. It would have been simple as saying "Hey just for people that dont know, Balmug will be the RP server" and that is all you would have to say. but you took it way beyond that.

I don't understand why you even want people who don't want to be on a RP server

Nobody's asking you to stay. If you're going to post an alarmist rant about it, of course you're going to be called out on it. In a game where you can easily solo to level cap and endgame content takes 8 people, your fear of a tiny subset of players is laughable. But, hey, good luck finding your imaginary perfect world with nobody you don't like on it.

Everything I've read from people who actually play on Besaid makes me think that this post is completely ridiculous. It really makes you come off like the type of person that I would have no problem seeing leave.

I don't rp, but I love that people can get so much enjoyment out of games like this. I respect their community and don't really understand how being on the 'rp server' could impact my gameplay in a negative way.

I'm sorry you feel like being around someone who isn't 'normal' is such a bad thing.

Im on Besaid and I'm not an RPer. I have never come across an RPer that would shun me from a party. I have been playing from CE release. I haven't seen much /say RPing going around these days. I think they do it all through ls chat now. I haven't come across the RP extremist but the RPers I have partied with have been really awesome. Sounds like the OP is a little hurt from a previous incident.

To each their own if people wanna RP let em I say although I personally wouldn't be caught dead doing it so nya

[Vahn]

I don't get the hate people have. Or all the speculation going around that Besaid is some horrible place to be. I just want to point out that the 80 or so of us that do RP do it in party or say and generally in low traffic places. You've got to know where we generally hang out or bump into us on accident to ever really see anything. Maybe I'm just naïve as to how things work in other games since I've only been RPing for a year and only on XIV but the hate and anti-RP/Besaid/Balmung threads are really getting old. One other thing...what is all this ye olde english kind of talk? Most everyone speaks normally, maybe a bit of alteration for an accent. No one spouts hither and dithers, thous and thees.
