It's a somewhat spicy personal preference that many--possibly most--would disagree with. Not necessarily that they'd be hard against it, although many would, but that they simply wouldn't see the value in worldbuilding that way, wouldn't occur to them to do that, and wouldn't understand why you'd want to if you pointed it out to them.  The players' responsibility to world build is usually the worldbuilding that pertains specifically to their character, not all kinds of details about his race, the place that the player completely made up that he's from, etc. In any group I've ever seen in real life, as opposed to hearing about anecdotally online, suggesting anything else would be considered a very spicy hot take.Personally, I'd be pretty hard against it. As a GM, worldbuilding is one of the tasks that I enjoy most. Suggesting that the players have just as much responsibility for it is like suggesting that someone else has just as much responsibility to eat my dessert as I do. No, stay away from my raspberry cheesecake!</blockquote>
