I love servers like CM, and that one WW2 server...yet they seem to be dragged down by the exact same issue;
This lack of roleplay.
The REQ line....the REQ like others have said, (I think) should be a place that fosters roleplay, you could complain about what MRE you got, tight armour, etc, it's not perfect, hell I've tried it and have just been blanked.
Also, I never understood this "Go play a HRP server", there isn't a HRP CM server, I don't want a HRP server, I like having silly shit and serious stuff at the same time. Oh, and in my view, there's a difference between "milrp" and "Alien" RP, the former is something I find dreadfully dull, the latter is an 80s mishmash of the army, with tech conglomerates and bizarre creatures made by big white guy- I mean made by an evil robot- I mean made by...no one knows.
It doesn't help the attitude towards MPs is one of out right hostility! I've heard and seen SGs attack doctors for little reason, rightfully get jailed and then their squaddies have the GAUL to complain about them getting arrested nearly murdering two people.
The only way, I as some random person, can see to solve this would be a̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶p̶l̶e̶t̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶u̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶e̶x̶t̶e̶r̶m̶i̶n̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶N̶R̶P̶ ̶s̶c̶u̶m̶ culling more problematic players and trying to encourage roleplay with events focused around intercharacter interactions as opposed to...shooting.
