With a name like 420buds, you're calling HIM a loser?

My your own indeed

comments sizing broke the /faceplam :(

(sry its a sorta double post)

Actually, it did. Read the other article he linked. Fool.

Actually, Blizzard DID ask him to help police. Their harassment policy (and yes, RP violations are harassment) is reactive, not proactive. That means that GMs do not police chat logs, looking for violations, but instead rely on players to report behavior that violates the policy.

Yes they did, it's the RP server policy.

That is not the right attitude. Rules are rules. If someone wants to join World of Warcraft to rollplay, and they read the terms of conduct and go "Oh, this is great! It looks like Blizzard really has strict rules about enforcing my play style," but then they join to find out that they are not enforced, that needs to change. Whether they change the rules or change the way they enforce them, something needs to be done differently if people are going to take the rules seriously.

Technically speaking, those who do NOT follow the rules and do their duty by reporting those who obviously break them are losers.

Oh and copy pasting

I saw these names breaking the name rules today:

into a gm ticket and then recalling the names you saw today takes about... 20 seconds.

I'm sorry if it's it's own dedicated activity for you though, some people might find that hard if they have an IQ of 40. GB2ur420buds k. LOSER.

@rolfpanda

I just read this article and the other one and I don't see anywhere where blizzard GMs asked him to be their little personal helper and police the game for them. And I know you're probably going to use the "it's everyone's responsibility to police the game" line, but this is a little ridiculous. This is a classic example of someone taking the game way too damn seriously. Does it really bother you that much that someone names their Tauren missmoo in your precious RP server? And on top of that do you honestly believe that it's right to be contacted the moment the person gets disciplinary action for such a stupid offense? Maybe you'd enjoy the game a lot more if you let others enjoy the game as well. Get over it.

Um...see that "GM Ticket" option? That's for, y'know, -helping to police the server. Just a thought.

....Actually, yes, they did; their naming enforcement is based entirely off of player reports.

Actually, yes, Blizzard has asked players to report naming violations.

Helping to police the server is one thing. Thinking you are the police and have the right to know the outcome of every exaggerated report you make is another.

@ offday

Wow boy, settle down. You clearly have no idea of the problems on RP servers, and to be honest, your ignorant attitude is what is wrong with them. I report a lot of people, I am very open about that. So open even, that I whisper them before I do, telling them nicely that I am reporting and the reason for which I am reporting. Many people don't even know what RP means, so I explain it to them, after which they will sometimes apologise for their error, and I don't report. If they abuse me, I do, and to then hear from other people that they have received a warning on their account, fills me with glee, because their reply was the standard; LOLRPNUB.

You make us all sound like unforgiving bastards who do nothing but report. What you forget is that a lot of RPers put time into educating people, but people do not want to be educated.

It baffles me that apparently people that raid can get into hysteria because OMG you downed him first but you did it with another guild so it doesn't count towards progress DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAA, and that is all just fine. But when we expect to have RP ON OUR RP SERVERS genius, then we have no life and take the game too serious.
If I create an RP event, spent a lot of time on the background story, I can not report because I am being a prick, but when you guys do your little silly raid thing, or PvP thing, god forbid that one thing go wrong, because we will be reading all about it in the guild drama section.

We all have different priorities in the game, I let the PvE people and the PvP people to their thing, while the other way around, people actually go out of their way to mess up RP events and spam in /s. You have no idea what it is like on an RP server, or you are one of the people on it that know damn well that they have no place there, but still say put so they can annoy RPers. I applaud you really, for sticking your head into the ground this easily so that all the points you bring up fit neatly into what you think defines an RPer, and never consider what an RPer might actually be.

Ignorance is bliss right?

420buds

Way to perpetuate the negative image of potheads, you're what holds back society.

For the future, please only post your comments on wowinsider4pricksnbullies.com. This here is no place for you, be it RP or not.

Learn to read and write/type.
Also, its not about minding your own. Question at hand is, why go on a RP server to ham it up smartass?

Join a PvP server although you hate fighting other players...

Makes no sense.
