From one who RPed as a Temple Knight in FFXI, I feel your pain. While your character may be associated with an executive faction, many times other characters will simply choose not to respect that authority. There are often a lot of assumptions made in either direction as to how capable (or incapable) that sort of personnel is regarded. I cannot tell you how many prison break-outs we experienced... It got pretty silly.
The XIV crowd is much more mature though, and seems more cognizent of causality and the consequences that exist for particular actions. And, as others have stated, I've seen a certain amount of respect and reverence for those characters who align themselves with the various policing forces (Sultansworn, Yellowjackets, Wood Wailers, etc.) I find this to be encouraging, but I suppose all it takes is one to disregard your call to imaginary backup, etc. I wouldn't let it deter you though.
