Although! I was surprised to find myself mistaken. I spotted two characters walking towards me from the bar that resides between Ul'dah and Blackbrush. So I drew my lance and yelled at them to stop. They didn't respond immediately and only started showing interest after they passed me(as in, they turned around, no words were spoken). At that point I felt it was too late to continue and mostly I was just really nervous so I continued running towards Ul'dah.
Twin and I had a couple bandit characters we liked to RP on occasion in TERA. It was really hard to get people to go along with us trying to ambush them on a road or whatever to steal their shit (which is funny, because it's not like we were gonna god mode or whatever - the times we did actually get to banditize someone, our characters were defeated miserably). So, I understand your conflict completely.
That said, don't give up. I know it can be kinda nerve wracking trying to initiate a scene like that with random strangers, but be persistent! If your first shout doesn't stop someone, try again, and this time elaborate a bit (they might not have understood what you were trying to do, or even not realized your shout had been directed at them). If they don't react well, don't worry. Just roll with the punches, so to speak, and move on to find your next potential victim.
But to answer your question more directly: RP like that is never bad.
