Cole hit a particular note on the head. People can get the RP they want if they go out and find it or shed certain preconceptions about people in the community. It's fine to have your character's IC settle on 'I won't go here'. And it's healthy to not want to orbit people you don't like because this is a hobby and you should enjoy yourself.

But you can't sit there and call out the state of the game when it's clear that your enjoyment of the game isn't down to the state of the game, but rather the people you interact with, or lack thereof. To which we're all part of the problem.

OOC is fine, people want to just casually hang out and chatroom and test builds? Cool let them enjoy themselves, they aren't the problem. Housing isn't a problem either, there are so few interesting spaces in the game world proper that houses are one of our major outlets of expression on a stagnant game world. People just need to take a break and get their mojo to RP back, or experiment with the spaces they want to RP in.
