I've thought about making an Elzen, since I've officially canceled my WoW sub and have nothing better to do. I actually defaulted to FF:XIV after a fatal error kept me from playing the game shortly after I filed a complaint about one of the stealth fixes Blizzard did during the 5.4 patch. All attempts to talk to customer serviser were put off, passed around, and usually ended with me being told "Your issue isn't important to us." I decided I'm not paying that jack off's salary anymore. If Blizz can't treat their customers decent then I'll go give my money to their competition, it's no skin off my nose.
...But I should really finish the main story with at least one character first before I go make a ton of alts. Either way, you're welcome to pester me whenever you wish. If I'm at home and awake I'm probably logged in to contact at your convenience.Â

They're not realistically optional on WoW, sadly. Because we have 'designated' RP servers, as it has been said on other threads, it makes us a target for non-RPing griefers. If you have the addon installed you can see anyone else who has it installed. It's generally the way the RP community finds each other amidst the flood of people on the server who aren't RPers or are dedicated RP trolls. If someone doesn't have it, you generally assume they are only on the server to give you a hard time.
So yes, having it as a requirement is a symptom of the community. It's the arbitrary line in the sand RPers have drawn around themselves as a barrier against the filthy 'non-RP scum'.
That being said, no RP guild I've been in has ever explicitly required them or you're not allowed in. The ones that do are usually closed, invitation only ones anyway that don't openly recruit. At least in my experience. Your mileage may vary.
