It's all about taste, that point's been beaten into the ground.
I personally abhor a crowd. More than five people and I become uncomfortable. I like goal oriented things, casual or storyline based is relative. Even resting by the riverside needs a reason and some context for me to get into it. It's not like planning out every single event and storyboarding a whole plotline, it's just giving some believability and logic to the scenario. It's why you don't find me idling in bars doing nothing. There's no 'ends' to general tavern RP. It's like cotton candy... a lot of fluff and no substance.
If I show up, I'm looking for someone, doing something, progressing towards some ends in some quantifiable way. Without that context I find it often devolves into boring discussion akin to discussing the weather IRL. In which case I'm quick to abscond!
And while I'm against the concept of Private RP, I don't like being in 'hubs' as it were. It's not a lack of desire to interact with people or isolate myself. It's just a sort of claustrophobia that comes with hanging around areas with quest givers. There's also so much pretty open world out there to inhabit. Sticking to cities and bars seems like a crime with the wealth of interesting locals we have to play with.
