Discovery "RP" 24/7

[Dhomie42]

"Good RP" is also very subjective. For some people it is about personal development of the character, for other's it is moving some story arc with a character, and for the others - simply appropriate to the situation behaviour. People seeking different RP quite often find the other players with different RP priorities as "boring". For example, I have tried idle talking near FP11 or similar stations when people talk about common things and call it character development, but have always find this kind of RP mundane and predictable, and thus boring. My preference in political RP has often raised one's eyebrows because in their opinion it is too snobbish or far-fetched, or both. Neither of the sides is right, imho, people just have different preferences in terms of RP. This is one of the reasons why people bond in cliques and factions - to find like-minded people with similar interests, including the place of RP or style of RP.

This honestly describes yet another issue I think exists.
Some people are only willing to RP with others they deem worthy of it, so to say. Anyone else is just a secondary priority when it comes to RPing.
Friends RPing with each other more and all that is very cool and good, don't get me wrong, but other players exist as well, and they should be given the basic respect to interact with, or at least try to interact with them, regardless whether you like said players or not.

As for others' RP preferences, that's a subjective matter, something that can't really be changed. If you prefer political, or military RP, that's fine, there are basically the lawful factions that can provide that to some extent. If you prefer casual RP and all that, unlawfuls, Freelancers, corporations, Zoners etc. can provide that as well, however I often see people having several preferences, and these end up mixing, which I personally find interesting, because they're not 1-sided that way.
Anyhow, yes, yet another fair point.
