Due to my job, I only get to play a couple of days out of the month and aside from my linkshell, yet I see RP at every city-state and scattered throughout the wilds in pubs and the sort. Peak hours for Balmung are noon EST - midnight, depending on the day of the week. It's harder to find RP out in, say, La Noscea not in a sanctuary as if you run by a few folks fighting mobs you might not know they're RPing unless they speak.
RP is everywhere and no one is obliged to include your character if you're just sitting there emoting to yourself or somesuch. Usually when I am eating IRL and just hanging out I go to a pub and have my character (usually JJ) chow down on some food which sometimes sparks people marveling at this ugly sod nomming. I don't ask for it, nor am I miffed when I am ignored.
I'm going to sound like an echo and say if you're having a bad experience across the board... maybe it's you. We've all been in on some poorly-constructed RP or downright OOC-RP (use of LOL and other shorthand and such) which could very well have branched to OOC bashing or whatnot. It comes with the territory. Not everyone RPs the same nor tolerates the same.
Just chill and take a step back.
JJ won't share his sammiches.
