[2020] Roleplay instance

Hi. I know there's a thread on official forums with QoL suggestions but I believe this subreddit is more active thus I'm posting here.

We've been getting some QoL changes lately including weapon hide toggle. Could we - RPers - also get a "Roleplay Mode" toggle? I imagine it would work just like mentor mode but without icon floating above our heads. After switching it on we'd be offered to move to "roleplay version of this map" just like we are offered to move to more populated instance (volunteer buff).

This could help bringing random RP back. Currently it's almost impossible because of MegaServer tihing.

EDIT: If you have nothing to say that would contribute to the topic of this thread, just don't do it.

IF the system somehow got abused by PvE players (I still don't see the issue) we could just get a debuff on after moving to the instance that prevents us from getting rewards, easy.

2/3 of the tech is already here (mentor, volunteer) so I think it is doable.

EDIT: Well, I still think it is doable. But maybe /u/Anet-Clayton or /u/Anet_Myranda could tell more (even if it's "no") or at least pass the suggestion(s) forward?

Everything is doable :) But the amount of resources and time would be an unknown. I think it's a cool idea but it sounds like a lift tbh. I don't believe maps are currently set up to have togglable conditions set. I.E. this map is only allowed to populate people with this flag set.

This would also require a UI design and QA so it wouldn't just be engineer and server work. I'll gladly pass the idea along! I think, however, it would be some work to figure out. That work would have to be prioritized and weighed against other high demand things.
