Oh yes, and people have just flocked to the hugely successful EZpeazy server to escape the oh so terrible Roleplayers. I am glad we set up a new server as a refuge for these oppressed people. All six of them at the moment, ten at 'peak' times.
Roleplaying IS this game's strong point right now, and it is going to take a long time to change that. People who enjoy it want to make it easier on themselves. It is sort of like playing a game for, you know, that thing called fun, and trying to make it more fun.
You think you have to 'put up' with RPers, and RPers think they have to put up with you. The truth is, that is the truth. Get over it, and get used to people who like doing a certain kind of thing asking for more of that thing. You want to complain about it? You, yourself made a forum just for it. Make a thread and keep your 'disgust' out of decent threads. The people posting in this thread before you are not the only ones that should be taking a hard look in the mirror.

Back on topic, I have seen this from both sides. I have been annoyed by both people refusing to stop being idiots and trying to interrupt RP conversations, and by those people who take it upon themselves to police every word other people say to keep the game IC. I like to try to keep it in the middle. I have quietly asked both sides to consider the people around them as well.
Still, people have always looked for more conversation options, from both sides. There are those who want teamspeak type options added to the game, and have programs set up to the side for doing that. I have heard of folks who have actually built IRC clients right into their PS client to have more conversation options. Then there are those that would like a general chat tab right in the game for a speakeasy type feeling without having to go to IRC or flood the main chat with lines of whatever.
Who is to say which is the 'best' way? Who has the right to be 'disgusted' by how another person prefers to play and communicate in the game. Settle and chill. It was that very attitude that made me quit the team. There is more than one way to do things, and you are not always right. That includes Talad, Vengeance, and yes, myself.
