I have spoken on this issue before, but it appears a re-iteration is required.
Different people come to this community with different expectations. Some expect a hardcore and complete RP experience, which this server does not cater to. Most people come for quote 'casual' RP, which is the possibility to roleplay your character with considerably reduced chance of any sort of permanent failure state. Others are enamored by the PvP systems we have in place, and enjoy shooting other people and refining their skills, looking for challenges. Some people enjoy the POB system and all that entails, putting in the hard work to create something they can call their own. Some people enjoy writing stories and interactions on the forums. The hard rules of this community are centered primarily around preserving a very basic RP fabric and do not extend beyond that, to allow different styles of play to flourish and interact.
With these facts firmly on the table, let's continue. While you may consider it deplorable that the server seems to disregard your wishes for RP, keep in mind that nobody has an obligation to RP with you. You might have ran into people who just want to get a shipment to their POB sorted, or someone who's headed to a brawl. Some people prefer to talk within their closeted groups and will not freely interact with other people. These are equally valid playstyles adopted by people who have an equal right to play on the server in a manner they see fit as long as they meet the basic criteria necessary to continue playing on the server.
Be accepting of these choices. You may or may not be any good at PvP, you may find POB supplying boring as hell. Understand that other people disagree and tolerate these choices at the least, take part in other activities with other people, and they will take part in roleplay with you even if it may not necessarily be their primary interest. There have been, and continue to be, people on this server who wouldn't give a rat's ass about roleplaying beyond the casual, but are exceptionally good people in their own right and I've enjoyed interacting with them during my time here.
Keep playing the game, participate in the variety of activities this server has to offer, derive enjoyment from it. This is a multiplayer game, go forth and interact with people. People sitting in their little cliques of like-minded people snarking at everyone else will be the true fate of this community, rather than any extremist notions of a final nail or a decision that finally drives everyone away.
This gif is an acceptable summation of my thoughts.
