Me and my bud spent several hours in seeking for roleplay, inside House Space, outside of it, even in Omicrons - because of the status of the faction I recently proposed and someone joined on his own will. What did we get after arrival to the Omicrons? The Core - completely ignoring us, all other people - nothing. Only The Order tried to roleplay (kudos to you guy in Major), but it went nowhere as well. There was in-group RP short roleplay, and kudos to that guy in there as well.
It's needless to say both of us got tired and left the system we visited last, then F1-ed in the safe place, because we were so pissed off that no one on the roleplay server actually cares about the roleplay. All what actually matters, for my taste (or I would say, our taste) is getting blues, like it was the most top thing in the world. You want more blues? Stick to Conn, where PVP is without any "roleplay limiting the pure PvP experience". I understand this is an action game, but "roleplay" should stand for something more than just seeking opportunities to kill peps around!
And this is not the experience from this exact day, I has been for a year (or two) to make my opinion about on how things work.
I would not point it out, if it was action server. But God damn it this is a roleplay server, majority of people I have encountered so far either ignore will of roleplaying or use partial RP to excuse getting their blues. It has been a good few months since I got good roleplay with anyone that hasn't been a 343 member. Last time I got some decent non-343 roleplay was my Fukushima and TheUnforgiven's Argo. The other awesome RP I had was with Ageira with business talks and Rosenkov/Renzu journey into Omicrons for Iridium.
I held myself many times before it. Many people convinced me to ignore this problem, but today is a day in which everything crossed the line. I will say a sad truth about Discovery, because I simply lost all my faith into Discovery:
There is very little from the real roleplay on the server - the vast majority is just bunch of excuses to get blues.
All I'm going to say, Fluffy, is that you've never met me ingame, and you havn't met the right segments of the community yet.
So, if you are a roleplayer, don't do the Single Greatest Thing that Harms the Server and QUIT, because your subjective empirical experience leads you to believe the majority of the community is in it for the blues.
"Lost all my faith" - Just play the game, seriously, play the game. If you don't want to play the game, leave.
If you want, we can take this to PMs. We've got to find you some good roleplayers to play with.

I am part of the Canaan project, and since we are zoners, our main goal is to RP. Tho sometimes I have to wait near the 11 half a day so someone can finally show up.

The way I see it, taking people from populated places and spreading them throughout means there's less interaction all around. Liberty does not turn all the people into pvpwhores automatically.
Some people are just too opinionated. They also believe more what they hear rather than what they experience themselves. In fact, some are afraid of experiences, and have to constantly feel secure to be able to do anything.
You do not want to deal with an occasional lolwut that comes at your way. You do not want to be shot at. You do not want to die. You always want things to happen the way you want. Because your way is awesome, the rest are scrubs.
You expect a pure experience of what you deem worthy. You are too choosy. You are so choosy, I doubt you can ever be happy. I doubt you can meet that amazing RP guy in Liberty that's somewhere around within those lolwuts.
I doubt you can eventually turn those lolwuts into RP-respecting players, even if not RP-lovers.
As long as you want to live in a world like in care bears, you'll NEVER have what you want. Not in disco for sure. Get dirty a bit, die a few times. Stop complaining. Do not feel bad because you're so bad at pvp and people tend to roll over you easily. It means nothing. Stop being a sissy.
This Disco is what we have left. We make it better through a positive approach and stop complaining, or we just leave.

Listen to the man/woman/boy/girl/insert, he's preaching the Lord's Work here. ^
I remember times, back in 2012 and 2011, when there were some stinking, horrible RP experiences here - the mod changed its trajectory and improved. It won't be fun if everybody gives up the ghost because of the conduct of other people - a situation that we can't directly impact or change.

I am pretty shocked that what should be standard of the roleplaying is called elitist. It's pointless to discuss it further then.
You are being elitist, yes.
Guess what, there is no standard.
Also, do you realize that in this community are people who are doing RP in several type of games for ten or even twenty years, but also very new people who has no experience? Sometimes I meet people who doesn´t execute Hamlet quality of roleplay, but they obviously just don´t have much experience. But they try. And that´s what matters for me, what I appreciate and I would never dare to call their RP "poor".
Or should we establish some "Roleplaying Evaluation Commission" which will judge what is good RP and what is poor RP? How? By what criterias? And would we do with those who would fail?

You'll find a lot more things to do in a day.I have had similar thoughts and think this is a brilliant idea. Haters are going to hate, but believe it or not this is the magic pill that would completely revive this game.
I believe this is very good receipt for Disco´s final nail™.

No one said to do this.

Call me elitist if you want, but without standards there is only chaos.

My opinion is still the same. If you dislike something - change it (This is how I started modelling). Once you start - people will see your effort and co-operate.
If you feel like not willing to put effort right now, then you might need a break to re-fresh your thoughts.

Hello drama, we meet again
Okay, so sure, sometimes you don't get what you want, but for Christs sake don't whine how you dont get roleplay, do something to get roleplay, start conversation etc etc all that good stuff.
