What is your view on RP or ERP and why is it so taboo within the community?

I was just adding more content to his post like saying about gender identity. Another thing I will add is that there are a lot of girls playing male characters. The only difference is that guys don't notice it cuz girls are not going out there and flirting with another person like guys tend to do when they are playing a female character. I talked to even guys and funny enough they said that they get annoyed and are tired on how many guys hit on them, but they still love playing their female character.

One thing that I noticed is that guys tend to make a good looking female character while girls tend to make a good looking male character. About the RP thing. I don't really care much till those people try to RP with me directly without taking the time to ask me if I RP (which I don't). I remember how unlucky one day I got that random two people approached me IC and started to have a ERP conversation. They just assumed I did RP and ERP because I was talking to a friend who was very active in the "RP community?". My friends don't RP with me even if they are RPers. They tell me their experience and what they work on, but I never participated so I would say people should invest a bit of time before just assuming (of course it is not all RPers doing that but the first impression impacts very strongly and stay with one the longest.)

Another bad experience with RPers. I queued for DF to do my dailies. They were all happy and greet so did I, but they were all friends and from the same server (which I didn't know till way later). They started to have a lot of text and emotes with every skills they did and even talked how they were feeling as we were going in. we didn't even get to the first boss and they killed us 5 times because the healer was very scared and was telling to their group to get out of the dungeon (roleplaying of course) and one of the DPS was "always ready" to go forward and be the brave one aka meaning going ahead of me - the tank- and pulling everything (this was my first time in the dungeon....) and the other DPS was "new" to this new job so he was "still learning his new skills" again RPing all this. I got super annoyed, and I am sorry to say that I got to type in caps and tell them how frustrating I was. My first experience in the dungeon was irritating thanks to their damn idea of making a party of three people and queue together. I told them that I would leave at least they stopped the roleplaying. I didn't sign for their amusement. After that they went quiet and stopped their little game and we finished the dungeon really fast.

As I said, I don't care much, but when they make the others game experience annoying is when they need to stop what they are doing and think on what they are doing wrong and avoid doing it because as much as they paid to play this game, I paid this game to enjoy it in a different aspect as they do.
