Sir, if you can only find QS RP, you are doing something terribly wrong.

But no seriously, I dislike the Quicksand style RP. I do it though because it's one of the few places you can always find something. Even if it can be rather.....interesting, at times.
May have to give this a closer look and see what I can do.
I only have like 6 alts on that side so I can come up with something I'm sure!
You know, it's fine and dandy if you happen to have a group of RP friends with which you have guaranteed RP outside of the game's major hub, but a lot of people don't have that luxury or know how to find it. Perhaps instead of doing something wrong, we are doing something incredibly average. The average everyday RPer can be found in and around the Quicksand at least once a week. Why? there are tons of people there all the time, the location is pleasant and easy to get to, and it's the biggest and most well-known branch of the Adventurer's Guild.
I think in this case, the ability to stay out of the Quicksand is an exception that does not make the rule. It's a great thing, but it's not at all easy to do.
Gilgamesh is able to do it because the entire community is on roughly the same page, while on Balmung, tavern RP is extremely common and hard to avoid.
So don't tell me it isn't possible, and conjure up some pathetic excuse of "People don't have the luxury to do it", put in some effort yourself, find RPC posts for people looking for roleplay, make your own thread, PM people in game, find a RP FC, go to events. Roleplay is not going to be fed to you, you need to go out to find interaction, just as much people need to do it irl.
Just don't come up with that nonsense of an excuse. It is really not that much effort to start finding people for roleplay outside of the Quicksand. Sure if you want to roleplay there, be my guest, but to go nagging "ermgerd can't find rp outside it"? Reality check; the sole blame is you, and not that of the community.
