I think that this tends to happen a lot in RP. I have some friends who are fantastic at being flowery but with a purpose. Their characters are haughty and educated and it fits with the way that they write.
But I also know people who try to emulate that style because they feel that writing too straightforward is frowned upon.
I'd like to say that I'm one of those people who appreciates a little bit of both, but I'd rather be engaged in what we're doing than wait for the other person to go and use a thesaurus to see how many different ways they can describe the color of their hair, skin, eyes, their lips, etc.
Being verbose can be a good thing, but if it's not something that comes easily, don't focus on it!
