The main issue with bandits and roleplay of that type, is it’s not cooperative at all. For roleplay to function correctly you need to have both parties willing to participate. Typically the attacked party in bandit roleplay, is left annoyed, frustrated, without any meaningful gain from it. Especially because if you lose, you die, you forget everything and whatever you were attempting to do, you now just spent 20-30 minutes being harassed by someone else, without any meaningful interaction or character growth. It can be like a full time job creating roleplay and making settlements active on this server, it’s very disheartening to have that ruined because someone wants to do quick “bandit” roleplay under the guise of “making conflict for fun”. Most of the people who actually make cities active and do the leg work to give you settlements to harass, don’t enjoy the fact that bandits come in, attack their playerbases and typically act rotten in OOC. I do not see why people who put in countless hours to make a healthy roleplay community and environment for those on the server deserve to have it terrorized by people who feel like they have some god-given right to attack another community constantly. I understand you enjoy that type of roleplay, but do you ever stop to consider that the other party is enjoying it as well?
