Does this apply to every role-player? No, it doesn't - not did I imply as much.

It's still a decent amount, though - and it's mitigated by having players who are primarily interested in PvP/PvE who will head out into the game world to gather, hunt and queue up for duties. It's also not fair to expect players already playing on Balmung to just up and leave or find it less desirable (your words, not mine) to remain there because it suddenly gets flagged for 'RP'.
