The RP Community Must Unite or Die

I've had some interesting related experiences, yeah.

People end up thinking that RPers are weak in PvP because, harsh as it is to say, a lot of people who are weak in PvP also go 'well I can roleplay at least' and try to join up or band together.

But 'PvP RP players' often have 'becoming strong in PvP' as an explicit part of, or even the goal of, their RP . The driving force of someone who wants to get better at fighting because their character story demands that they do so to protect what they/their character believe in, is hard to match.

The 'person who just wants to dunk on other people but keeps failing' might get frustrated or bored and leave. The 'person who wants to RP peacefully but keeps getting attacked' might get frustrated and leave.
Fear the one whose RP is that they will fight you if you threaten whatever they believe in or protect, because they are the ones that come back a hundred times.

For the Glory of Tatzelwyrm.

This is what I sometimes think Ashes is banking on. That those who PvP RP are at least somewhat likely to work with and defend others as you often 'suggest'.

They have a lot of niche systems that have the flexibility that only seems to be needed by this player type, but I'm not sure, since some of them seem to have degraded a bit.

Or more likely it's just my arrogance because that's how I'd do it and for me 'giving people the benefit of the doubt' is pretty equivalent to 'assuming they would do what I'd do'.
