  12. HomeTrlx liked a post in a topic by Buckwalter in Why does Asylum not really like RP?   
    Put simply, one of the core elements of Asylum's success has always been accessibility. That's why they were so reluctant to use mods, that's why the rules are kept simple (relatively simple anyway), that's why content is kept straightforward, and that's why it isn't a whitelisted community.
    However this pursuit of accessibility comes with some downsides: lower expectations. You can't expect someone who just bought arma because it was on sale 20 minutes ago to have a nuanced understanding of life server rules and RP conventions. So Asylum has chosen to keep things simple, eschew the massive rule books and stringent role play guidelines of other, more RP centric communities and instead focus on providing a simple, straightforward experience. 
    With the more permissive rules, you get players who wouldn't normally play life servers. People who enjoy the high quality, small arms infantry combat and the asymmetrical game play but aren't all that interested in RP; With many people who dislike it altogether, as it is usually more of an impediment to their playstyle than an enjoyable gameplay facet. As time has gone on, this way of playing has become more popular and at this point I'd say it has become the most prevalent way to play Asylum. As a result, content, rules, and the overall zeitgeist of the community have shifted more in that direction. 
    As someone who rather enjoys RP, that fact used to bother me. But as time has gone on, I can see why people feel that way. The vast majority of RP, even (and perhaps especially) on servers that focus on it highly, is boring and regularly irritating. It runs the gamut from the obnoxiously legalistic (nuh-uh, nuh-uh, you don't know my name, I never told you my name. REPORTED) to the poorly constructed, obligatory make-believe stories told to cops. So to distill it down, in so many cases RP isn't functioning as intended. It isn't informing the combat or creating unique and memorable player interactions, instead it's the box that must be checked before violence can occur or the compulsory rehashing of tired excuses for crimes. It's become extraneous to the gameplay. You aren't acting as a consistent character enacting your own story, you're playing an open world game with occasional bursts of incoherent fiction.
    So when you combine the sorry state of RP in general with a playerbase that wasn't particularly inclined towards roleplay to begin with, you understand why Asylum is generally lighter on the RP. And that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sure it would be great if people were more interested in creating their own characters and making memorable experiences for themselves and others, but even if they don't, it doesn't fundamentally detract from the quality of the Asylum experience. Those are my two cents anyway.
     
    TL;DR: People don't necessarily hate RP, they just aren't really that interested. Most prefer combat and since Asylum does that really well, they tolerate the RP requirements. With the poor quality of RP in Arma 3 in general, people's indifference towards RP becomes aversion.
