Every single roleplayer on BNet is a retard.
I mean like, royally retarded.
There was this map named SotDRP (Secrets of the Depth of Roleplaying), where you practically created the world you wanted to roleplay in, and customized your character.
Now, to make the most of the RP experience when I hosted games, I introduced something that's called Emoted Battle upon the players.
Not a single one used it correctly, or well. There were a few who did. But the majority did not.
What it means is that instead of just using your character's incredibly pumped up stats and overpowered items, you used "emotes", or /me commands as we call them on our server, to simulate the battle.
The players paid no heed to their fellow players, always acting bigger and better than everyone else, always finding new ways to beat eachother, being the more overpowered.
Of course, no one likes to lose, but seriously. The things people came up with, I'm almost feeling sorry that their imagination was not used to being actually intelligent.
And what's more. They always seemed to roleplay through the player perspective, they had no sense of immersion whatsoever.
Their character's always knew everything.
Is this really what's supposed to happen when you make a tool that can give you the ultimate graphical roleplaying experience?
So ruined by idiots.

Agreed, I RPed in SotDRP quite a bit. The people i met O.O. frustrating. As you said about emote fighting that was alyways fun. We would make rules like your characters has 2-5 hp and we would roll whoever got the higher number got the first strike and typed some text describing the blow. We would continue and so on. Wc3 had some of the best roleplaying ive seen in a long time, but the roleplayers were something else.
