All mmos dont need to exists because its loving 2015 and slapping a chat client into a lovely RPG and letting you mindlessly grind aint poo poo today. MMOs exist today as cellphone games, because the potential scope is massive, they just took the camera control away, if you can't handle that then go back to your grandpa mmos. Every game that wants to can have a social experience very easily, we have been talking to each other over xbox live since I was in loving high school, there is no way anyone without nostalgia sees these games and thinks, wow, that enemy ran towards you, you hit it 4 times, then it dies, and now your doing it again. Even the largest group content, the literal most exciting stuff in these games, just looks like a cluttered mess of disco if you haven't been trained by old games to accept technical limitations. Seriously, every typical EQ MMO is literally a really loving bad RPG with a chat client.

Turtle Sandbox posted:Seriously, every typical EQ MMO is literally a really loving bad RPG with a chat client. This is true. I have friends who play WoW just for the roleplay; they don't raid or do anything other than just log in to pretend to be elf nobility and poo poo. They spend fifteen dollars a month to use a graphical chat client. Some days I wonder how they would have reacted to MUSHes and such.

Casual rping in MMOs can be a great way of getting to know people and find guilds if you're new on a server. Just stay away from the "((IF I EVER SEE YOU IN A RAID INSTANCE I'LL PUT YOU ON MY IGNORELIST))" quantumspergs.

RPZip posted:You have to give a little more context for that. Is that a thing? As with every hobby there's people who obsess far too much. Every rp community I've been part of had always had a few who'd only do anything if their character had a valid in-character reason to do so. They'd craft elaborate stories of what their chars where doing when they were offline, they'd spend literal hours coming up with justifications for silly gamemechanics, they'd backtalk anyone whom they didn't consider to be a true rper and they would churn out drama near constantly. The RP topic in the blizzard subforum should have plenty examples. The far majority of mmo rpers are mostly down to earth and chill but there's always those people.

I have been kicked from numerous guilds for raiding while trying to be in an RP guild at the same time. There are legit people out there who think that raiding, in any form, is an elitist activity and that even if you've been a perfectly well-behaved member of the guild for a month, by entering a raid instance you've proven yourself to be a douche and must be kicked. I've gotten kicked from six or seven RP guilds because I also raid in pugs, to the point that I gave up on guilds for the last half of MoP and WoD until a few months ago.

Yep. I generally tool around on RP servers for the hell of it. Most people are actually very chill and fun to play with, but you will occasionally find people that make your eye twitch. In Burning Crusade I helped run a Karazhan raid for the RP crew, and there were a pair of pure DPS classes doing as much or less damage than the tank. Sick of wiping to Curator, I asked them politely to research their classes and spec well for the encounters. I was told in no uncertain terms that their characters had to have the abilities they were specced into and they'd just go make their own raid instead. On another server there was also a stint of "RP stands for role play, not raid progression!" that would happen whenever anyone posted about their raid doing well or their raid guild recruiting.

I've had the extremely unfortunate event of being elected the "PvE Officer" of an RP guild multiple times (once against my will) and I've gotten both of these excuses. The other one I got frequently was "I shouldn't have to study to play a video game LOL!" because I asked them to spend three minutes reading their rotation on IcyVeins.

Asimo posted:Speaking as an old nerd, I have no idea how these kids manage to tolerate MMO RP. Probably just don't know any better. I'm in the same boat, though I did do WoW RP for a time. But most of the people I did it with were more into it than I was. Like another guy mentioned, they come up with stuff their characters are doing while they're offline, have full hobbies and poo poo for them, that kind of thing. I remember doing that kinda poo poo on MUDs but with WoW everything is so.. I dunno. I had a blast doing it in EverQuest but for the most part you could DO that kinda thing in EQ, cause if you said your dude was a baker, you could drop an oven on the ground and make a loving pie right there in front of someone. I just don't get MMO roleplaying anymore. Seeing it in SWTOR was kinda funny, though. Luckily I've never seen the 'YOU ARE ON MY IGNORE LIST FOR RAIDING' poo poo, though I did have roleplayers who would show up in PvP gear to do Karazhan back when I was the caster lead in a guild back during TBC; I'd left a progressing raid group because of some drama after the raid leader up and vanished. A mage was still upset paladins could DPS and was angry I kept beating him on the damage meters, and when a mace dropped in Serpentshrine and I was the only one who wanted it and could use it, the mage gave it to one of his buddies (who wanted me to have it.) Moved to a warlock, got into a fledgling raiding guild, and there were so many roleplayers who were like 'but this is what I wanna look like' that had to learn they needed a set to wear that wasn't absolute poo poo when they came to dungeons because I wasn't gonna carry their asses. That group went on to clear Hyjal with me. I was a proud motherfucker for that.

FFXIV goons back during A Realm Reborn were also guilty of this. One of the two goon guilds was infamously casual and passive-aggressive against people who did hardcore content or raiding in any capacity, instead of playing dress-up or roleplaying. A few of the people involved still aggressively shitpost in the FFXIV thread to this day, insulting hardcore players and acting like their opinions on content they'll never see matters (even less than forum posts typically matter to game design).

Cyster posted:Yep. It's thanks to fuckers like them that people would lose their goddamn minds when they would lose to me in PVP and see I was from Moon Guard. Had people roll alts just to whisper a lot of creative insults. Cause surely EVERYONE on an RP server must be like that, and I got lucky. But then I also had a few nice RP guilds fall apart because of the raiding bug absolutely destroying what used to be a no pressure "eh, we'll do this just for laughs" environment. It ended up being an absolute nightmare. I will say this though: WildStar's Dominion Roleplayers are loving terrifying and I'm staying well away from that mess whenever I do get bored with FFXIV.

Wildstar update from a goon who plays this bad game: Guild is working on getting people attuned/geared/skilled to get into the first 20 man raid, the good news is the first raid is semi favorable to pug, so those of us at that level have already stepped into GA a few times, but I'd still rather do it entirely with friends. Last night we found a guild that's got all content on farm that was doing "Alt runs" but short of regular people for the alt runs and they invited our attuned folks to come along. With that in mind, I can legitimately say that raiding in this game is stupid fun and had me way more engaged than any WoW raid to date, and the general "Difficulty" of the raiding is more a product of everything "Sounding" more overwhelming than it actually ends up being. I still legitimately believe there should be a easier mode though for both dungeons and raids for folks uninterested in doing mechanics to a "Near perfect" degree, not necessarily "Tourist" mode, but something the equivalent of WoW normals.
