I don't want /tells or trade requests.

Come on, man.

- In apartment, house, or private chambers
My friends and I hang out in my apartment regularly.

- No guest access in apartment, house, or private chambers
So that we're not interrupted, given that we're on an RP realm and I've walked in on people ERPing in my apartment before.

- No Teleport for friends in apartment, house, or private chambers
I only enable teleport when we're planning to meet up.

- Some people use the same emote all day in place. That simply isn't practical for the equivalent of an entire work day if someone is actively playing. The average player is going to change spots at least a few times in that period.
Why are you tracking people's emote patterns instead of playing the game?

- Crowd blending. Some of these people will look for busy crowds and hide the AFK icon to blend in. I'm not fooled.
Heaven forfend I make a cup of tea at the Sharlayan retainer bell.

- Not replying whatsoever in any form. It's possible someone doesn't have a keyboard, because sometimes I swivel my TV around to my bed in order to play when I'm not feeling well, but its not hard to to at least use the auto translation feature. They have phrases for letting people know that you don't have a keyboard on you at the moment. You can also type a sentence with a controller, but it isn't fun.
I generally don't respond to random /tells from strangers, especially not ones accusing me of circumventing AFK timers by hanging out in my locked apartment with my friends.
