Mmm.. I have nothing against you. But when I read what you wrote... you seem not to appreciate those 5 categories. But...what options would people have to approach you? Your 5 options have eliminated 99% (and more) of the possibilities to speak to someone that you don't know at first, in this game.
You don't like the common rules of politeness that are used in real life. You write a bio, but you don't like if people react to it. You don't like if people are direct. You don't like if they're indirect. You don't like direct RP or XP. What, for example, would be the kind of approach you would like? I'm like a scientist, wondering what would be the kind of sentences that could be accepted by you at first contact.
To be fair, I don't think hankypanky is necessarily dissing anyone of the categories he listed (with the exception of #2). He merely brought up some player archetypes he had met in-game.
@Purest_Elf: Holy shit, the level 1 "wanna rp?" mystery guy XD I've run into this strange creature on here more times than I can count. Beautifully summed up
Yup don't mind any of those 5 types. Like you mentioned yourself, it's 99% of what I see. I was just trying to answer the question as I saw it, maybe I misread the intent. I only don't like #2 because it's usually 5 minutes before you find out what they actually want/are into and by then you just committed 5 minutes to something you may have absolutely no interest in. I almost never block anyone because I'm always looking for new and exciting things. I feel like the blocking item should be used less often, because it makes some newer folks leave the game early before they come into their own.
