I think what we are seeing here is two main approaches (and several smaller ones) to rp.
On the one side, Â we have rp as a game. Likely influenced heavily by dnd influences. In this approach, level DOES matter, because it's part of the game and what makes it fun.
The other approach, likely influenced by forum rp and love of writing, treats rp as a story to be told. In this, level doesn't matter because quite frankly it does not fit in to 'storytelling'.
Neither side is right or wrong, just different.
