Talking in character as Master Chief, etc. Do non-fantasy mmo's have this issue of people pretending to be their imaginary avatar in game? I haven't noticed it that I recall.
because that's not what RP is. Id recommend doing more actual reading on the subject than just throwing out blanket, simplistic generalizations that only serve to denigrate the act of RPing.

hint: its not about speaking "in character" for a character that already has a personality and/or story.
