I'm perfectly fine with people joining in my RP, and my character will respond in kind as long as it feels natural. Like Magellan mentioned earlier in the thread, in "real life" you'll be hard pressed to find someone just.. walking up to two people out on the street having a conversation and saying, "HI. HI, MY NAME IS ROBERT AND I COULDN'T HELP BUT OVERHEAR YOU SAYING YOU LIKE X THING I LIKE." I mean, it could happen, but it would probably be seen as a bit weird in any sort of setting that's not intended to be a social gathering of some sort.
Walk-up RP can be tricky, and I think making it feel natural takes a certain level of social skills that some people generally lack. And that's okay. That's why it never hurts for there to be OOC communication.
Regarding the Quicksand, I admit I do avoid it, but it's less about some perceived notion that everyone there is looking for ERP and more about the fact that my character very rarely has reason to be in Ul'dah.
