So much this. But it isn't even the mundane meta that's the problem. It's this idea that if someone does something you don't like, it's automatically bad and has to be 'fixed'. Because an individual has an idea of how Rp should work, how their standards are set up, that you are automatically bad. For people with so much creativity, so many are quick to discount their credibility as roleplayers because an idea doesn't fit with how they think a lore works. Some things are fuzzy and have grey borders. If you think an idea is bad, that doesn't mean it 'needs to be improved'. It means you think it needs to be improved, which is not the same thing.
At this point folks, it's turning into a lot of snark, condescension, and headbutting. And a lot of it's gotten seriously off topic from the original point entirely. So that being said, I think I'm going to remove myself from the discussion as it's gone out of discussion territory and into another fight about what kind of RP is bad and what isn't, which wasn't the point of OP's question. Cheers.
No, not this at all. No this at all. That's not even remotely close to what's happening in this thread.
OP asked for thoughts.
I mean that's it really. It's that simple. No witchhunts, no metagame, no grand mundane crusade.
You ask for thoughts. You get thoughts.
Talks the talk, and walks the walk.
Serious, lore-abiding, mature roleplayer.
