Ironically a player can avoid entire roleplay if he/she wants to, rack up billions in mindless trading, buy a ship and there we go. But at the end of the day it'll be that person's fault for intentionally avoiding roleplay and then buying biggest ship only to find self completely out of place.
Education can help a lot, that's a good constructive suggestion in my opinion. But nevermind that some people don't want to be educated, they want to do whatever they want and get away with that. Rude and unwanted guests that come into your house and claim it as their own by the size of their gun.
