Have you considered that you are making an artificial distinction between
IC and OOC, and on the basis of that expecting that others will make the
same seperation? Many players, especially GoP'ers make no such
distinction. For them, their in-game goals are merely a set of
entertainment based goals they pursue as part of the real lives, much as
they might run to get a better place in the queue to get a ticket for a
popular new film, or to get that parking space closer to the store, or to
get that promotion.
