Blizzard RP Community is TERRIBLE. L2 Manage

There is a combination problem here involving this community, so sit back and enjoy.
The first thing is the harassment on RP servers because RP'ers are acting like idiots, there is a reason servers like Moon Guard U.S. Goldshire inns have a bad rep.

How RP'ers want to display themselves is anything more than deviance and freaks when that nonsense is going on, AND I KNOW that these guys don't display the whole RP community but the RP community should be trying to tackle this in a major way because we've seen some disgraceful stuff of ridiculous RP and ERP nonsense that shouldn't be in the game at all, especially in a T rated title.

And here's where Blizzard comes in, and the fact that Blizzard doesn't police these realms properly is DISGRACEFUL. Why would you open these servers up and not have the same rules? Stop pretending RP can happen on WoW without the help of Blizz, BECAUSE IT CANNOT.

Everyone is at fault, the harassers, Blizzard mostly, RP'ers and the design of the game itself.

No, we do not actively police the game for possible chat and naming violations. Our policies have always been reactive in nature and they will continue to be, including the areas pertaining to RP.

Now, we have on occasion patrolled a realm, as we have done on Moon Guard. While there we warned against inappropriate behavior and have also taken direct action, including temporarily suspending players found in violation of our policies. This is not the norm though nor should it be expected.

If you see inappropriate behavior, chat or subject matter, report it. It doesn't matter if someone is touting the behavior as "role playing" if it violates our policies it can and will be actioned accordingly, if you report it.

You're playing this game just as I am, its like someone in a math club pointing at another member and yelling and pointing NERRDD at him, there's no point and is totally hypocritical.

What an interesting quote, I believe I'd heard that somewhere before...

Once more, if you see inappropriate behavior, report it. If you report possible violations our In-Game Support staff will investigate it, they will then take appropriate actions based on what was found in respect to our policies.

Keep in mind our goal is to educate our players and to create a fun and safe environment for all. A person may not be suspended or have their account closed immediately but if they do not learn to correct their in-game behavior that may be the final result.
