Something I've Noticed About Rpers

Not even close. Go to Goldshire on any RP server in WoW.

I don't usually roleplay, but when I run into one of those "I am the great grandson of Exar Kuun and I am all spechul and stuff and can't be beaten by anyone" I usually just come up with an equally ridiculous story on the fly for my character and basically challenge them to a "make up stuff" battle :P
It's hilarious to just counter everything they throw at you with something made up, each more ridiculous than the last one until they ragequit.
I mean, this is a multiplayer game. Everyone else is not here to satisfy their ego boost.
The best I did was with my Bounty Hunter when I was on Nar Shaddaa a year or two ago back when the game was new.
Met some guy who was lvl 20+ and my character was around the same level.
He was a sith claiming to be somehow related to the skywalker bloodline (which is kinda silly since anakin was a "virgin birth" in the first place) and making up all kinds of reasons why everyone couldn't beat him.
Most were just playing along or ignoring him (presumably to placate him), but I decided to take up the fight when he "attacked" me for not bowing to him.
I started off using all kinds of gadgets and he always wrote some magical way to escape them even tho he couldn't possibly deflect all the rockets, flames and stun darts I was tossing his way.
Finally I jumped behind a pillar (I think) and wrote that I detonated the bomb I had placed in the area we were in two days earlier to which he replied that I was cheating.
I told him I was here to hunt a target that I knew was going to arrive soon, but springing my trap early to take him out was worth it.
He got really angry and told me he used a force bubble to protect himself and I asked him how he was going to protect himself if the explosion was powerful enough to blow away an entire block of the building.
He said something along the lines of "I'm invincible and you are just a maggot" and logged off.

Sometimes I just can't help myself. It's wrong and I know it, but he was ruining everyone elses RP'ing session.

(Oh and as for those asking for the old armour from KotOR, it's not because the want to be mission vao. It's because those armour sets look good. Most people mix and match... I rarely see anyone dressed in a full outfit, unless it's revan )

Don't. Just... don't. I went there. Scarred me for life. The things I've seen... *PTSD flashback*

I don't know how it is these days, but Goldshire on Earthen Ring when I left 3 years ago was abandoned. I did however, take a trip to Argent Dawn...

This. Except it was the things I -DIDN'T- see o.o
What I saw were numerous scantily clad night elves, dreanaei, humans, a number of gnomes and a dwarf, along with a smaller number of males all just... standing. No movements. Just placed around the inn, atop tables, atop the railing, infront of the fire... silence.
Yet, in the far of distance, somewhere in the back of my mind, I could hear the frantic typing, visualise the atrocities of nature happening in in /whisper among them all... *shudder*

this is all mostly addressed in the IA/BH storylines

they are both trained killers, and while there are undoubtedly sith/jedi more powerful than them, they can handle themselves and do with regularity in their storylines. same principle applies to inqs/warriros. they aren't the most powerful sith out there either.

the IA finale has many many possibilities and too many spoilers.

You completely ignored everything my post said.

WOW people jumping to conclusions here

I read the OP post and it reads to me as a NON RPer whining about RPers not grovelling to him
It DOES NOT read as a RPer complaining about the RP between him and other RPers.

When I read things about how everyone wants to be a god character that tells me straight up the person posting that has NEVER Role Played in their life in a MMORPG.
Because the statement simply is not true.
Not even remotely.
Most real RPers will give their characters faults and weaknesses to improve the Role Play
Its the NON RPers who act like they are GOD LIKE and then complain (like OP doing) that the RP crowd doesn't worship them.

You all might wanna get your "facts" straight on real RPing behavior before you toss out anymore completely false and uneducated opinions on the matter.

A RPer NOT grovelling to some kid doesn't mean they don't RP.
Just means they don't with that kid

Not to be a stickler, but anyone who RP's is an RP'er... just because you don't consider them "real" RP'ers doesn't make it so.
They might not be good RP'ers, but they still roleplay.

Just in his class story, my Bounty Hunter sassed plenty of Darths and Sith Lords along the way ... and he has the lightning burns to prove it. So there is hardly a fixed rule about the degree of deference a BH or Agent "must" give a Sith.

One problem is that there are about as many theories on "proper" RP as there are RPers. I've been RPing for more than 30 years and have RPed in plenty of MMOs. In my opinion, good RP is a collaboration. Few random RP encounters end well because they too often involve some player's "irresistible force" bumping into some other player's "immovable object." Few players want to be "lorded over" by some stranger they met at the cantina (I'm trying to avoid any ERP implications ). Absent some degree of give and take, random RP usually isn't worth the effort.

Anyone RPing a Sith who stumbles around Fleet expecting every BH and Agent to bow and scrape is, in my opinion, doing it wrong. And probably playing a pretty shallow character as well. Players who excel at random RP can adjust on the fly to help make the experience fun for everyone involved. Because, ya know, I'm not there just to play some NPC in your world.

since i rp with my guild my sith has never had this problem.
at first i was a low level sith even at lvl 40 i wore the acolyte title and RP as such but after many months i was promoted to Lord.

now my warriors backstory is yes hes eveil but he isnt a dick in fact he regularly feels that the non force sensitives in the empire are heroes and are treated as equals, unless they betray him or screw up really really bad (i mean loose a entire fleet due to incompetence) but he is still a evil sith he kills pubs and jedi at every chance.

That IMO is a true sith not some nutcase who kills imp simply for fun.
