The political intrigue that results from tensions between Blades/Sultansworn/Syndicate/etc. is a major feature of roleplay in Ul'dah... but you don't have to be a member to get involved. Hell, that's not even all of the RP that Ul'dah has to offer. And that's not even getting into Thanalan as a whole.
This isn't me being defensive. This is me calling out an erroneous conclusion. You don't have to be _____ to get involved in _____.
EDIT: And as for taverns... I only walk into the Quicksand or the Drowning Wench if I want someone to reach out and grab me for RP, guaranteed. The large majority of my roleplay in cities, Ul'dah or otherwise, comes from walking the streets, not from sitting/standing around in a tavern. Personal anecdote, I know, but that's been my experience.
EDIT #2: Let me throw Gus' name in there, as well. Ghost-hunting was hilarious.
