So, jsbro, a few additions to our subject.
What is troubling with the Only-RP ones (even if the false are quite contradictory, because, as you said, some have high levels) is that the good ones (I've met some) are very rare on the game, first, and second, they frequently disappear very fast from the game. Or they give up the RP in the middle of it.
I've even met an excellent exclusive RP-girl (she was a pure one, 1st level) but, after a great session that extended on a few days, she eliminated her avatar. Was she ashamed of her RP (maybe she thought she had gone too far), was she tired of RPs? Or her RPs were only reserved for a specific avatar of herself and she had "rooms" or other activities with another avatar? I'll never know.
So, not only the good RP specialists are rare, but they frequently give up their activities. It is so bad. I love good RP sessions but... Or I haven't still met the rare bird that could be a regular RP-companion.
For the false ones, I would say that the reasons are:
Young
Lack of culture
or... let's try to be a bit diplomatic... a bit IQ-frustrated
Hey, now, we're starting to have a good range of Categories!! I have a few others in mind. Just the time for me to formulate them.
I'll have a few other comments on your post, jsbro, just a little time for me to put it in words.
I would add that there are various subtypes of the True Experienced RPer:
The Pure One: he/she stays 1st level and is only interested in RP
The Open-minded One: accepts and is interested in various styles of RP
The Restricted One: loves only his/her own style of RP
The Close-minded One: rejects aggressively or with sarcasms other styles
Pure One can criss-cross with the 3 last categories.
I would say that the "Pure One True Experienced RPer" is a category in itself (compared to the Categories already proposed in this thread)
The other varieties (True or False) can intermix with other categories.
