At the end of the day, the entire reason (in my opinion) that we see OOC FCs so much more often is because of the "You can only have one" restriction.
Wild Sky is one of those who had an IC LS and an OOC FC. The reason behind our FC being OOC (OH GOD ALL THE ACRONYMS) is to give RPers a chance to engage in that end-game content without having to worry about IC restrictions. For example! Let's say Roleplayer A and Roleplayer B are good friends who enjoy playing together but their characters are currently liable to kill one another on sight. By having the FC be OOC, they can do the content together without detracting from their RP.
Now, I understand that there's a lot of people who would prefer to RP out absolutely everything. And that's cool too! By having multiple options, lots of people get to find exactly the type of group that fits what they want to do which is awesome! Everyone gets to do what they want how they want and everyone is happy forever.
There is nothing saying that you can't RP and be incredibly efficient in the PvE content too. There's also nothing saying you HAVE to RP the PvE content. The ability to choose from the options is sort of the reason the RPC was founded in the first place, right? Bringing us all together so we can all hang out and be awesome, RPing with each other in the ways that we enjoy the most?
Someone going with an OOC FC isn't a slight against the RP community's gaming abilities. Someone going with an IC FC doesn't mean that they think they're a better Roleplayer than someone in an OOC FC. Just means they have different playing styles. All are viable options
