I don't roleplay myself, but I have to admit that they have a lot of creative ideas of things to do involving the game's structure. I'm also not recommending that you roleplay or not to entertain yourself, however if you want to see some interesting ideas about the game, it wouldn't be the worst place to look.
You can't compare this game to a real sandbox game because you can role play. Role playing can be done in every single restrictive theme park MMO. Is WoW comparable to sandbox games because you can role play? Is Guild Wars 2 as well? You talk about players making their own content in games like GTA and Minecraft and say people should try it in this game, but you continue to list activities that you can do in any old game. I'm not even sure if you realize why games like this are popular. Minecraft wasn't picked at random by creative gamers to try and mold an interesting creative experience from it. It provides the tools necessary to be creative, and so it became popular as a result. Your insinuation is the complete opposite, in that "players did it with games like Minecraft, so we should do it with this game too!" except that this game provides nothing of the sort, and the suggestions you've made so far are either mundane (kill mobs for no reason...really -_-) or something that can be done in absolutely any interactive video game, web forum or pen and paper RPG, role playing.
