The State of Affairs in RPing

From ysqure3: Most RPers are either pretentious hacks who recognize that they can't write worth dick or pretentious hacks who think that their purple, Tolkien-ripoff prose is the shit. They're all people who come to the table from railroaded JRPGs with magic and bullshit mawkish dialog, and are incapable of writing an original character, so they crib off existing tropes.

I'm wondering what the readership (if I really even have one) thinks about this quote. Thoughts, and do you agree or disagree, and why?

I don't really RP anymore, but I'd chalk my old RPing self up as guilty of some of those things. :shrug:
