"Debriefing" is not just an RP thing it is useful in any number of things where your attention is focused/blinkered. It is a way to reflect and review things.
I suppose the "special" aspect of MMO-RP is it is virtual, so there is no OOC feedback when you are immersed in character (body language, sighs, disinterest, etc..). You have absolutely no view on the other people's intent, feelings etc..
The important point being, don't assume you know and instead ask/chat/talk OOC if there is some element that you feel needs it. Just a simple, "How was the RP for you?" will switch it to OOC.
Not always necessary as I personally prefer just IC and see where it goes with the characters. Any problems or clarification though and I ask OOC.
This is not really about the right and wrong way to RP but more how to avoid issues, be resilient and respect those you are RPing with.
