I feel your pain Magellan.
Having said that, I do make a serious effort to seek out action RP irregardless of stylistic differences. I often find myself surprised.
If my RP were a three course meal, action scenes would be the glass of fine wine. While they are undoubtedly delicious and important, they are at their best savored in small quantities, with plenty of meaty storyline and delicate moments to go along with them.
Like ArmachiA mentioned, I have been in group situations where action came at the expense of everything else, and it grew stale for me very quickly. There was no time to recover between adventures, no time to form lasting deep fiendships, and no time to reflect morally on the adventure itself.
Since then, I have always tried to enjoy my action like a delicacy.
