The only reason to get to 50 in regards to RP is for more clothing options. Seriously, that's it. And MAYBE some extra abilities to be a little more flashy at the Grindstone (Circle of Scorn downward stab, kapow!).
I was in all sorts of RP experiences from a lowly level 15-ish all the way to 50. The only time I felt out of place due to my level was when I RPed a one-shot NPC villain who was supposed to be robbing a caravan. I was using NIN and I only had the first two Mudras, and we had a straight little level 18-ish Lancer.
Graphically, the defenders put on a better light show than we did.
There's nothing very visually threatening about a little Lala ninja-jumping into the middle of the group and doing the little rain of knives. Especially after emoting up how much of a showboat and badass you are.
Every other time, level has never been an issue.
