I find myself having trouble enjoying the game.

In MY role-playing game?!

Exactly. How can you get mad at someone for RPing
in a MMORPG?

I think some elaboration is required, as clearly there is some confusion in all the acronyms of modern society.

RP = Role Play

role-play [rohl-pley] verb (used with object)
1. to assume the attitudes, actions, and discourse of (another), especially in a make-believe situation in an effort to understand a differing point of view or social interaction.
2. to experiment with or experience (a situation or viewpoint) by playing a role.

Also useable without an object (as is the current case)

MMORPG - Massively Multi-player Online Role Playing Game

mmorpg
— abbreviation for
massive(ly) multiplayer online role-playing game: an internet-based computer game set in a virtual world, which can be played by many people at the same time, each of whom can interact with the others.

So by definition, EVERY server is the designated RP server (aside from the lobby and DF servers, but they break anyway). If you are that against RPing, you might be in the wrong genre with an MMO. Heck, trash all your RPGs because that isn't any better. Time to go back to FPS, but don't do story mode. That is RPing too.

I think he better drops the gaming scene in a whole. Even in FPS's games you take a ROLE, no matter how little story there is. You still play the ROLE of a soldier, police officer, criminal, etc etc. This guy is doomed! OMG those darn RPers have taken over the whole industry and forcing him to play a ROLE where ever he goes!
