I'm not one of the people who is hysterical about the bag looting but as I said in response to Flaayin, you can't excuse anything by saying it's RP. Because you, the player, choose the RP. He could easily have chosen an RP angle that didn't involve saccing bags.

Is he obligated to choose a sportsmanship-based RP angle? Not at all. It's CF. You have every right to choose a full-saccing and maximum taunting character if you want (Flaaying wasn't one of those). But if you do choose a role that includes something uncommonly frustrating for other players then you should buck up and accept the criticism that goes with that. Blaming RP is just a lame excuse.
