Roleplay is about much more than attending 'venues' and it's telling that there's been all sorts of major server wide campaigns in WoW over the years but very little of the equivalent here in FFXIV.

In XIV, at least to my experience, there's a lot of campaign based RP and stuff beyond the 'venue attending' but that's more in the FC (or standalone organized groups, more uncommonly) territory. It's only a bit time consuming to actually find the group that suits your roleplaying needs, but they're there.

Ironically, the best way to find those groups is actually going to venues and discovering people there. I tend to find more 'engaged RPers' casually enjoying those areas, and was precisely how I found all of my previous RPing FCs, all with their own unique campaigns that kept us busy for months.
