I find myself having trouble enjoying the game.

I think some elaboration is required, as clearly there is some confusion in all the acronyms of modern society.

RP = Role Play

role-play [rohl-pley] verb (used with object)
1. to assume the attitudes, actions, and discourse of (another), especially in a make-believe situation in an effort to understand a differing point of view or social interaction.
2. to experiment with or experience (a situation or viewpoint) by playing a role.

Also useable without an object (as is the current case)

MMORPG - Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game

mmorpg
— abbreviation for
massive(ly) multiplayer online role-playing game: an internet-based computer game set in a virtual world, which can be played by many people at the same time, each of whom can interact with the others.

So by definition, EVERY server is the designated RP server (aside from the lobby and DF servers, but they break anyway). If you are that against RPing, you might be in the wrong genre with an MMO. Heck, trash all your RPGs because that isn't any better. Time to go back to FPS, but don't do story mode. That is RPing too.

I think he better drops the gaming scene in a whole. Even in FPS's games you take a ROLE, no matter how little story there is. You still play the ROLE of a soldier, police officer, criminal, etc etc. This guy is doomed! OMG those darn RPers have taken over the whole industry and forcing him to play a ROLE where ever he goes!

You do realize Balmung was selected by the playerbase from the very start (when it was Besaid) as the RP server. You just gotta deal with it. I was from Excalibur and moved here knowing what I was getting myself into.

But you really can't tell people to stop role-playing. Whether on Balmung or any other server. They have every right to enjoy and experience the game as they please, as long as they aren't in violation of the game's terms of agreement.

Bravo.
That was the best troll roleplaying ive seen to date!!
That gross and disgusting line, just fantastic.
Keep up the great work you budding thespian!

I'm not a roleplayer, but if i see you, i'll try my best to roleplay with an NPC just for your reading and viewing pleasure lol!

I have never nor will I ever have a problem with RP'ers as long as they don't force their method of gameplay on me or anyone else. Their way of playing, RPing in public is like a couple kissing in public. It's fine and dandy til they make you the center of the sandwich, so to speak, and in that case speak up and say "whoa take it somewhere else" but if it's just RPing where there is no offensive talk, or over the line theme to it, i say let them play how they want. We all play this game differently, some take it serious, others more laid back, and yet still others take it in a different direction of RP. If one person has a problem with how a whole group (100+ or more people) are playing a MMORPG then that single indivudual needs to sit down and think about what kind of game he/she is playing and realize it is a RPG where people role-play. If you don't like it, choose another server or stop playing. Simple as that!
