It is poor roleplaying to remain polymorphed/wildshaped for one simple reason: You are exploiting the No PVP rule by placing others in a position where they cannot appropriately respond to an obviously threatening creature. That includes bears and elementals and so on. If the rule was not in place you would be attacked. I have a crafting wizard too. I know the advantages of using polymorph to carry ore and gems back to town. But please do others the courtesy of turning off your forms before going into town. It is not that far from the gates to the forge or crafting hall. You can make it a screen and a half walking through town, trust me.
