I think it's important for a role-player to be able to show rather than tell when it comes to their character. All too often I see a situation where someone claims that their character is a seasoned soldier only for their level to be so low that they can't actually go out into the game world without dying in a couple of hits.
I also think it's important for a role-player to do as much of the game's content as possible to soak up the lore. Again, all too often I see people doing their own thing and remaining ignorant to what, exactly, is plausible within Eorzea and what isn't.
That's not to say that people should be expected to clear T12 before they role-play a skilled adventurer but I don't think it's unfair to expect role-players to take some aspects of the game's mechanics/content into consideration when developing a character.
