I'm more or less of the opinion that Warren expressed earlier. People may RP what they wish, that's the nature of open-world MMO RP. The only thing that individual players can really do is chose with whom they interact, and how they treat their own "headcanon" to use a popular phrase.Â
I don't think much of the MSQ, and never have. I do not find it a compelling story (although it has interesting moments), and outside of what it reveals about the lore of the world itself, I do not consider it canon. Whether or not Ascians exists, or Hydaelen interferes in the realm of mortals, my character hasn't the slightest clue (and would shrug off as a nut anyone who insisted they -knew- otherwise).
Primals are summoned, and primals are killed. If someone really worked it well and deeply into their story, or wrote an adventure arch around it that dealt reasonably and faithfully with the power of primals I might find it rather interesting! If I encounter a couple of guys on a street-corner boasting about how they fight primals with a hand-tied-behind-their-back my character will treat that in the same fashion as any other puffed up blade trying to talk big.
That said, if you've got a group that enjoys RPing the MSQ as if its a "thing" that "really happened" by all means! More power to you, enjoy the RP and don't worry about the detractors. This is a game, and its meant to be fun, and everyone's idea of fun is different. Just don't try to tell anyone else that they have to go along with it.
