My only problem with role play sometimes is when it comes down to public phases and role plays people usually end up rotating around one generic spot when the mass tend to be. Be it around a campfire in the middle of nowhere, or a tavern housing Demon hunters and otherworldly beings, a good 50% of the time people lack initiation or usually silently judge profiles for their quality (guilty of the latter myself), sometimes the quality of the public role play is so poor that I find myself favouring private Role play with a group of friends, which in my own personal opinion is usually a lot better as I have gotten to know such people and understand how they RP.
On a less important note, public role play is usually consistent of (X)Elf here. The majority being Quel'dorei, which in my understanding aren't so widely spread even then the majority seem to be N E U T R A L when the last remaining High elves would of most likely threw themselves in with the Alliance when Theramore got destroyed.... But hey the versatility of roleplaying a neutral character right? But I digress, I would love to see more variety in phases once Epsilon has finally kicked off fully (A distant dream I am aware).
The point of my rant is - Roleplay is very situational.
