Your OP is still both incorrect and irrelevant. Not only are the things you mention not even issues in the way you suggest, it’s not even an issue unique to FF14, but Communities in general.
Seriously.

I see quite a bit of RP in FF 14 on Diabolos. Needless to say more than I see in Earthen Ring since in the past 3 months I haven’t seen a single other person from ER in game. It’s hard to RP when your game world is a barren wasteland.
Eh, I wouldn’t exactly call the opening of Kingdom Hearts 2 poor excuse to create content, it was just one of the best opening I have ever seen for a story-driven game and it was a simulated town…
I don’t play the game anymore but it seems to have worked out nicely for FF from what I’ve seen.
And yet you’re making an awful lot of assumptions about how roleplay is handled in FF, right down to saying players on Balmung are “elitist” and “arrogant.” Despite never having actually been on that server, or any other. lol
That particular raid series, yeah. Most of the fights are simulations because the main boss is “testing” you, as the Warrior of Light. Seriously, you’re making some ridiculous judgments about a game you know 0 about and have never set foot into.

I’m sure there is plenty of “roleplaying” going around in mmos but if you’re really into roleplaying then there are way better games suited for it than a mmo.
I have characters on both Balmung and Mateus, both have an abundance of RP. I personally RP -more- on Mateus because I’ve found some really good long term RP campaigns there.

I said QUALITY not Quantity. Likely at lot of the RP is full of, as an earlier poster put it
Buddy you can’t even make objective, factual arguments. I wouldn’t trust you to know a bloody thing about quality. It is also, again, an irrelevant argument. Everyone is looking for something different in their RP, no different than everyone has a different play style. It’s not a point, and an insult beyond. You ought to quit while you’re behind, you’re only digging your hole deeper.

Honestly GW2 has pretty good RP action, I see players gathered around crafting hubs in the black citadel all the time, going on for hours just talking in /Im chat.
So if you ever wanted something new I’d try there.
But honestly I think if your gonna talk about RP in the word MMORPG, WoW has one of the least immersive experiences I’ve played in a while. Although I know this is kinda not your point, I think it’s still worth bringing up.

If you would have quoted my complete post I go on to state that I’ve found great long term RP campaigns not…
…as you want to believe. Honestly I’ve never seen that, but who knows maybe it’s because I just don’t look for it.
Look I get it man, WoW was my RP focus for years. I love my characters, stories, and the people I’ve met along the way. I mean damn, I met my husband through WoW RP. Still, there comes a point when you have to let go. WoW just isn’t that great anymore. Guilds are falling off the map left and right because the state of the game. The RP community just isn’t sustainable in an enjoyable manner at this rate.

How can you bring up MMO RP without mentioning Champions Online? Basically everyone on that game is an RPer and the system let’s you make any character or class design you want.
This is a more appropriate section of the forum if you are going to talk about other games to this extent.
Star Trek Online has a pretty strong RP community. I never participated but i always saw them doing stuff back when I played.
WOW RP is pretty much garbage and the only well known one is Moonguard Goldshire, thats pretty telling if you asked me.
Hold it: You admit you’ve never played the game you’re on here maligning?
Seriously?

Cept they are doing everything they can to ruin rp immersion with sharting and removing world defense etc…
That’s what I thought. I was under the assumption that FF had way more professional RP’ers than WoW does.
They certainly have a lot more professional T-moggers.
