At the cost of a possibly extreme case of stating the obvious.
I do see Roleplayers as the sorts of "gameplay creators". People like Square Enix lay foundations, while building upon that story and creating a good environment and expounding upon that foundation is the job of the players. And it is because of that responsibility that not everything is handed to MMORPG players on a silver platter like it is on non-online games. Because the job of the creator is really nothing more than to give the player a really advanced version of a Pen and Paper Role Playing Guide in Computer/Video Game form.
And the Roleplayers, being a major type of gameplay cultivator, have the greater tendency to "Life Simulator" and general immersion improvement to the point of a greater likelihood in things like crafting and fishing. So I must admit, that "Psh, stupid RPer." joke make me chuckle. There really is a "cultivation" versus "non-cultivation" mentality within the MMORPG, the later of which, who only seem to enjoy grinding and what they are handed, I have never been able to understand. Enough so that making a sarcastic joke about immersion activity versus grinding is fairly amusing, at least to me.
[Never explain the joke rule, broken. Socially oblivious activity, engaged.]
