At least speaking from an RP server perspective, the portal event has been pretty troublesome for the flow of RP, yeah, especially for Security and Medical, as they oftentimes have to drop what they're doing to counteract the sudden influx of violence.
It sometimes very abruptly ends whatever RP players had going on at the time to start fighting back, which some people may say is good as a way to suddenly escalate the RP or something of the sort, but it just happens way too often to be an enjoyable sort of escalation - at least for me personally, and I'm sure for others as well. Silent Majority's statement that it encourages more on senseless violence than legitimate roleplay is something I agree with as well.
Like Silent Majority has stated, it would be really nice to either lower the amount of nasty fellas that come in to stir things up or outright take them out of RP servers.
That being said, I would like to disclaim that I am not in any way trying to negatively criticize or paint whoever implemented this feature in a negative light, nor am I attempting to assassinate any individual's character with my statements which may or may not be against the portal event. I'm just expressing my own concerns about the portal event.
I acknowledge the age-old concern of not wanting to make RP too different from Classic as to not deter some people in the playerbase, but this feels like a bit of a disruptive problem that should probably be scaled down a bit in my personal opinion.
