I think ShadowCat makes a good point here, but I've a different perspective (on the side a RPers).

I think it was in the official FAQ that I read (something like) "we will defintiely create an environment conducive to role-playing, but it won't be mandatory".

The reason they would bother to make the environment conducive to RPing is because it's more fun. In general, playing the game and RPing is more fun than simply playing the game. I'm not sure that everyone (read: gamers) would agree here, but it would seem the guys making SWG would agree since they're bothering to make the environment "conducive to roleplaying".

Keaggan: "Why is role playing essential?"
Aki: "Because role playing is more fun."

To be simplistic.

Now taking that into consideration, you might begin to understand why folks who RP get angry when other players don't. They would percieve the non-RP players as taking some of the fun out of the game by not RPing.

I find it unfortunate that you feel it's a certainty that role players will be the minority. Think of all the fun the majority will be missing out on.
