Why do the results not surprise me. This is part of the problem with MMORPG's and their communities anymore. I mean, you don't HAVE to be a super nerd and RP everything....but treating them like a race and a console game is ruining what seperated them from other genres too.... IMO of course.

I'm definately number 2 but I still think I appreciate and enjoy the environments, lore and details in these games. I'm big on my fantasy... read a lot of it, play a lot of it and watch a lot of it. But, a game is a game.. no one plays football (or any sport) and admires and appreciates the stadium in the middle of a game. When they arn't busy doing something they pay attention to those kind of things, not during. Regarding number 1 though, there is no kidding yourself. No matter how deep into roleplaying you are there is no escaping that you only have to kill 4 more wolves and then you can/will move on. I doubt many will keep killing those wolves purely for roleplaying purposes... and if they do, they shouldn't be playing a themepark anyway. |

Mix of both. While i do look at the loot a quest gives me i do go into a minro RP mode IF a quest is cool enough. Like in SWTOR i was in RP mode all the time same with TSW. While in WoW i just get the quest and finish it as quickly as possible. MMOS need to put more story into their quests, SWTOR and TSW were a step in the right direction.
