My other toon that is solely for RP is a Dragoon ICly and OOCly. It depends on the class and what I want to RP but generally speaking my approach to MMOs is PvE first, RP second, and I always tank, so my RP toons tend to be big hulking meatheads with an axe or a Saber replica with a sword and board. I RP what I want to play OOCly, not the other way around.
I tend to be the same. I started MMOs as a minmaxer and eventually began to RP as a creative outlet and to help add longevity to games I enjoyed. However this translates into me playing classes where 'efficient' meets 'fun' and sometimes that class conflicts with the original idea for a character.
I was curious if I was weird for altering the RP around my character to suit what I enjoy in PvE rather than simply just sorta.. going with it. Perhaps it's more applicable in FF14 because of the glamouring system too and getting appropriate looking gear for my character that's sensible to me/his RP.
According to the responses in this thread, yes, we are the weird ones. But at least we can be weirdos together.
