Immersion to me isn't about your character being you. This is a slippery slope.
Immersion is about immersing yourself in the story others and you are weaving together. The character just happens to be your medium, and since the story is supposed to create emotions and feelings, you will get attached to them of course. Like any writer.
Edit: well ok, I can see why some people prefer the former and would play as such. Not my cup of tea and I generally avoid such roleplayers like the plague. They are just incompatible with the latter and they rarely make interesting or fleshed out narrative characters, but that's just my opinion.
