I can't help but find it funny every time someone who plays an mmorpg says rp is fail. 
As for me, since I'm currently on a normal realm, I don't rp that much, but sometimes you find a group that feels like 'playing along' I have standard macros on some of my skills to spice up things during a battle, like when I summon a Ghoul Kharan always says "Rise, my minion! Rise and serve your master!"
It feels great, and sometimes I even get whispers about it. Some are the standard 'nerd!' or 'lol! relol RP n00b!' but I also get whispers of people saying it's fun to be in a party with me because things happen outside of what usually does in an instance. |
I've actually seen quite a few people do things like that (macro phrases into spells), even though I'm on a normal server. It's actually more annoying than anything else, since it spams the chat log with useless stuff. Maybe its cute once, but after the 50th time I just wanna strangle them.
Once, for revenge, I macroed something into my lightning bolt spell (something like: Taste Thunder! Pew pew!"). Note that I hit the lightning bolt button about 50 billion times in a given battle. Yeah... people told me to turn that off pretty quickly, although we had a good laugh about it afterwards.
More on topic, I'm not an RPer, but I don't have any problems with people who do (other than the spam problem as mentioned). I kinda like doing things like saluting Thrall, cowering from Arthas, commenting on Brann's discoveries in HoS, etc. Other people sometimes play along, or say things like "shut up and give me the treasure box," which I guess is a kind of playing along.
