Your opinion is very interesting, Gus.
However, one must always remain aware that one's ideals may not fit into the bigger picture. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people taking RP to their FC houses, on that we can agree. However, whatever you may think of the 'quality' of said RP (I deign not to repeat your vivid and subjective adjectives), as long as all the individuals involved are having a good time, that's what matters. I could choose to trade in game emotes between myself and guests during an event, and if we're having fun doing that, that's fine.Â
I would submit that none of us have eyes everywhere, as well-informed as we may think we are. There are many groups having a grand old time in their little circles, and that's perfectly fine! A big, open community is not mandatory. There are different flavors in different places, and people gravitate to what they like. Nothing wrong with that at all.
As for random roleplay, I can't take a step anywhere in the cities of this game without finding some, to be honest. Limsa, Gridania, Ul'dah. I used to think that the Carline Canopy was barren, but every time I take the airship from there or to there I run past a scene. Everything seems great. People are having fun!
That's the bottom line, really. Your ah -- intentions -- seem noble, I suppose, but they're really subjected to a narrow ideal.
If anyone looked at the threads on this forum. The Bulletin Board. The events, the TONS of open roleplay threads that invite literally any and everyone. We're a community. We are thriving. And oddly enough, participation in it would be enough to indicate that without question.
