As I have yet to actually rp with someone I won't be able to answer for any community as a whole but I'll give you my thoughts around it.
I personally see no reason why you couldn't play your character as a more 'civilized' person, regardless if s/he is a tribe member or not. To me, lore is to help me device a background for the character I want to play and not a 'law' or set of rules I need to follow or I'd be doing it wrong.
I have two Miqo'te characters, both Seekers, one being a tribe member and one being not. One simply did not grow up in a tribe and has lived his whole life in Limsa, and the other left the tribe, and has already learned and adapted to various type of cultures. One carries a common-sounding name and the other has kept his tribe name.
I could go on for a good length about their back stories and ideas but I'll hold off a bit for a moment, as I'm not completely done with my ideas yet.
Just my two cents. Hope it helped, at least a little =)
