    I don't doubt that Mare users could have been annoying and harassing even, especially with their code spam and asking for codes coupled with their expectations of others to use mods and excluding them if they don't, but the alternative to them doesn't seem any less obnoxious and exclusionary if all the celebrating about Mare's shut down is anything to go by. Same kind of clique attitude, just SFW instead of NSFW.
    This sort of mimics my feelings on the matter - I have never seen someone excluded from RP due to not using mods. I don't see how "hey do you use this" as being some sort of offending comment. I do however see a lot of spite over folks using mods and it sounds more like folks chose to self exclude due to missing out. I feel sometimes folks need to accept that folks will not want to do things the way they do them and see a lot of "well I am superior because I don't need mods" attitude which seems to miss the point - much like someone being proud of playing baseball despite not owning a catchers mitt.

    I don't see this changing the world - but I suspect in the future your going to see more factioning as folks will make a replacement and gatekeep it to ensure that those that do not partake are not given info that could undermine it.

    You don't see it, you feel it. Players are less willing to engage with you.Because you're vanilla.

    I'm currently in the process of writing up a lot of things etiquette wise, and charter related. So while I may not participate (I produce music and landscape, so my time is random to say the least), I will at least pass them onto people that I know will use them correctly. Fixing things requires work, and currently i'm in the B category of BAMCIS (good acronym) atm. Will it go somewhere? Who knows, but I wouldn't be doing it if people didn't ask for it.

    Let's not feign ignorance here. From people calling other players "ugly vanilla" to outright refusing to RP with them at all because they're vanilla, it absolutely was a thing.

    RP never requires mods to RP. Its mostly just make believe like what kids do to have fun. The game systems in place just make it easier to visual and provide outlets for that RP when with a group of friends.

    Between recent events (and the discussion thereof) and prior discussions back and forth on existing gameplay issues or the debate of hard vs easy content... really seeing there's not much difference between this community and other gaming communities- just as antagonistic and factional as other communities. I don't really have a horse in this race since my interaction with either side of the community split is marginal and I largely play to do content and glam, nor am I completely innocent of the problem considering a few of my thoughts regarding the convo on hard vs easy content, but it really feels like the community is cannibalizing itself this expansion.

    "You don't have mare, so I don't RP with you"? What the fuck people?
    Just make your emotes more descriptive and make actual glams that mimick the glams you have?
    You probably never were good RPers to begin with.

    Also yes I will totally continue to RP.

    Dawntrail is what I imagine the entire MSQ as a healer-main.
