/2

It never fails to amaze me the amount of rubbish that flows through "/2 trade:". I'd like to say that most of it is simply high spirits and exhuberance but unfortunately it isn't, most of it is just highly offensive gibberish. I makes me wonder what type of person needs to shout racist, sexist or just plain nasty comments in a public channel.

What's worse is it doesn't matter how many times you report them they never seem to get a ban, there are quite a few regular offenders on Moonglade. I mean is it really acceptable to make graphic references to rape, really is it? Maybe I am just over-sensitive but I don't want to log in and read that kind of thing. WoW is played by minors and I would love to recommend WoW to friends who have children but I just can't. It's a shame that the minority have to make "/2" a unpleasant channel to read. Sad that they need the powertrip, if I need a powertrip I'll go and PVP!

Occassionally, though, there is some really good RP in trade. I love to see people actually making an effort to bring RP into every aspect of the game. I'm not a big RP'er, my characters have little nuances but I've never written long back stories for them or been in a heavy RP guild. Still, there is nothing better than an impromtu conversation on the Zep or standing outside the bank.

So, can the "/2" trolls take note. If you have to be an offensive little oik, at least can you RP it. I know you have the intelligence and imagination of a small golden fish, usually kept in a bowl on a window cill, but please spare me your inane ramblings!
