Guild Wars 2

Informer.5213:

Ashamed? I don’t know about you, but I’m not ashamed because I’m a roleplayer.

This sounds like a personal problem, not something that needs changed.

I don’t know about you, but I have seen many people doing this:

[NAME]: (asterisk) Name does a barrel roll (asterisk)

(Who in Hell decided that the text command for bold is this * instead of something like [b]?))

instead of this:

“Name does a barrel roll” with /me

Especially during ERP, which can be rather embarrasing if anyone can read your spicy actions.

I have noticed that, when you write emotes “/me does something”, it can be read by people who are very far away from you. I believe that /me is used mainly for roleplaying, as I can’t think of any other situation where it could be used. Therefore I think it should be modified so the distance from which the chat displays other player’s /me text is the same as in /s text.

This way roleplayers won’t be ashamed of other people reading their actions from all across the zone, and it will reduce the “noise” both for normal players and roleplayers, as roleplayers from two different groups that aren’t in the same place won’t have to read the emotes of the other group
