It boggles the mind, doesn't it?
There used to be a group on Star Wars Galaxies that was anti-roleplayer and would go to great lengths to disrupt RP and harass roleplayers. Â I remember one event where a group of their members showed up at an RP event and one of them asked something along the lines of "You do realize you don't really live in this world, don't you?", and I replied "You do realize that at some basic level, you ARE roleplaying, don't you? Â Because unless you are a Bounty Hunter or a Smuggler in real life, you are kinda playing the role.". Â It all devolved into the group shouting the sort of witty insults you might expect from a sleepy 2-year-old. Â
I also quite liked a friend's response to a similar situation: Â "Oh no! Â RP in an MMORPG! Â Next thing you know, people will chat in chatrooms! Â Total anarchy!".
