Even if there was some kind of mass boycott or something, a few thousand (if even that many) wahoos playing pretend on the Internet is less than a drop in the bucket for Final Fantasy XIV. The likelihood that our suggestions have made a blip on the English CR's radars is miniscule.
I will continue beating the "RP-tagged server" drum for as long as it is necessary, but it pays to be realistic about things as well.
Just to bring this graph here...

SE wants the servers to look like the EU ones in this graph, and that's why they are getting new worlds. Clearly NA and JP servers are not that way, so we may see locks for a long while, and/or worse case scenario, a server split in which you don't get the option of where you are going. They've done it in the past.
While I'd love to see an official RP server, we should know by now it's highly unlikely, or that we'll see it many years from now. (See: RP tag) We need to move now as was mentioned before, because we only have this option to get new RP'ers into the game.
Also we, roleplayers, really are a small group when compared to the WHOLE of FFXIV. So SE will look at the entire business, and not just us. We can't expect them to fix what WE consider important if it will hurt the WHOLE.
