At the rate original RPs die, they probably have no reason to reach out, or leave their comfort zone. 

I don't leave mine venture into sci-fi. I'm not comfortable with it, so I see no reason to do it.

Casual probably has the most offenders because it's a larger part of the site, more people go there, and primarily stay there.

Another issue is when people, who start off weak, want to strike out alone despite it being completely bad for them to do so. 

Like I was doing a Bleach RP, where ALL the player shinigami were new graduates, just now getting into their squads, and doing their first.missions. 

Guy joins, no stronger than the rest, which is to say, anything with any real power comes and they are toast. 

First mission he wants? Go to the Earth World. Like what? No. And he wanted it to be a solo mission.
