Double standards much?

I don't rp, but Balmung is my server. There are plenty of other people who don't like this influx of trolls either besides just the rpers. And even if I don't rp, if the rpers aren't bothering anyone else, why not let them be? Why must they be harassed for something they like to do and when they complain they are being harassed, told to get over it?

Plus, not to mention, the "bad rap" we get are actually from people from other servers. 90% of the erpers on Balmung are Wanderers or Travelers from other servers who want to just add to our "rap" and not their own server. It's like going to someone else's home and stinking up their bathroom and then telling everyone else that their home stinks...
I don’t think anyone is condoning what the trolls are doing, but your argument is a false equivalence.

Reporting or kicking a player from content for the reasons listed is a vastly different thing then coming to the forums demanding that an entire system most of the game’s community enjoys innocently enough be removed because of a few bad apples.

People arent screaming for extremes or savages to be removed or ultimates because some players arent living up to their standards.

So why is it okay to demand that this entire system get demolished because some people are abusing it?

Should we get rid of party finder? Fellowships? Hard content? Pvp? Shout chat?
