Personally, I think the biggest problem we're running into is that those who aren't new to RPGs look at 4E, and just switch up mechanics while still doing all the RolePlaying they had been doing for years.

Without really realizing the 4E in and of itself doesn't do a whole lot to encourage this kind of gaming - and that a new person coming to the table won't have years of Roleplaying Experience behind them to know when/where to insert non-mechanic goodness into their games.

Yes you CAN Roleplay with 4E very easily, because it does nothing to stop you. But it does nothing to encourage you either, doubly so when it attempts to breakdown the "adventure structure" into a series of encounters instead of a storyboard.
