What might be a microscopic time-saver or simple laziness on the part of a writer does a disservice to those who would read what was written. If they can't bother at least appearing to be making an effort in the technical side of their writing, can the reader simply assume out of nowhere that for some reason the writer will put a greater effort into their actual storytelling and character development? I don't think so.
I would REALLY love to rant about this, but being that it is an opinion I will simply respond with another.
Correct or aesthetically pleasing sentence structure and habit does not a good Rper make. I know a LOT of Rpers, and have been exposed to a lot of different styles, and I can say that in my own personal experience whether or not a person has used quotations to identify whether or not they were speaking when nothing else was happening in a sentence did not take away from future Rp, nor did it make someone who did in comparison seem like a better or worse Rper.
Im still getting kinda ranty so I will leave it at that, but I just wanted to share my own opinion on your response.
