The latter type of character is incredibly annoying, because now everybody is one of those and nothing ever happens.
I'm honestly not loving surprised one bit.
You roleplay as a bandit, you'll probably get slapped with RDM eventually.
Roleplay as a warlord, get slapped with RDM.
Roleplay as a thief, get constantly RDM'd by guards (perfectly legal)
People are afraid to attack now in fear of they might be "RDMing" so they roleplay as the "oh im just a traveller dont mind me" character.
