I am not levelling, and I didn't participate in an OP fight for quite some time now (only once since merge, I think). So I am probably not really qualified to comment here. I do know, though, that already shortly after the merge there was a call-out in the rows of the Kamists that it is forbidden to make gear for Karavaneer and to help them in any other way if they don't want to be blacklisted. I also heard a couple of months ago that Karavaneer experienced harassment from their own rows when leveling with Kamists.

It's not a recent phenomenon, sadly, but one which always turns up like a bad penny.

On a purely RP-based experience, if you're so much of a full-blood RP player with not a moment OOC, this makes sense, of course, if you take the part of an extremist (and I'm all for some extremists - not in the real world, but in a game like this). But if it gets so serious that it takes all the fun out of the game - the fun of others, and in the end the own fun as well - then something goes wrong. I always tried a more laid-back attitude to it all. I almost always was on good terms OOC with most of my worst IG enemies, and I do accept that there are times in the game one should accept that a small layer of RP must - and will - do; for fun and for a greater good, the preservation of "our" Atys.
