Directed hostility towards RP'ers? I saw none, and I was part of two large, several hour RP events that took place in major cities and congested areas.
What I saw was people actually joining in on the fly. I was expecting directed hostility towards what we were doing, but in actuality, besides shout chat being a barrens-style mess(you can turn that off), and the odd hilariously inappropriate character name, I was flabberghasted by the lack of directed hostility. Either people were interested in joining in, or no one gave a shit who we were or what we were doing.
If the tone of Gilgamesh bothers you, you should definitely go to and stay on Balmung. There is somewhat less shout chat spam and absurd naming conventions, but I've got to be honest - there's definitely way more of these things, now, than their was in the old days, even on Balmung.
If the server population was any indicator, I don't think any of your average joes have decided to avoid Balmung because it was RP. (You should be mostly glad for this, as you'll get new recruits from some of them.)
My favorite silly name so far is probably Donut BallZ!
