How important is roleplaying to you?

Since this is a role playing game, I figure it is a topic of relevance. How important is it to you? How much should the gameplay reflect it?

Personally, I think role playing plays or at least should have an important role in RPGs. One thing that I think developers have fallen short of is designing characters that you can truly role play with. Many have simply stopped at just having you "play" the "role" of a predesigned character. But in MMOs, it's a whole other ball game. Characters designed from scratch that don't necessarily fill any particular niche. How can characters be made to fill a niche? How will they pursue that role and how should it affect the game?
