Just going to throw this out there, but I think it wouldn't be a bad idea if every now and then Upper Class parties were thrown. I especially expect to see something of the sort in Ul'dah, and maybe Ishgard when it will be open to us.
I think it would be very easy to do. Though it may require a linkshell, or some OOC organization of sort, because if nobles are to attend, we should at the very least know them beforehand. Big names are expected to be known among the people, especially among members of Upper Classes, who tend to be somewhat cliquey.
For example, I have never roleplayed with Otto Vann as my noble lady Chiara Foschiani, but ICly I think it would be a must for her to already know him, if only just by fame. At the same time, I'd expect her name to be known, as she is the wife of a very prestigious goldsmith in Ul'dah (and a goldsmith herself, though of a different popularity as her husband's, as she excels in clockwork and minions-type of goldsmithing rather than jewels or bonecrafting).
So yes, I think events to have rich people gather and meet would be great and... it would also offer some fun for wanna-be RP criminals (a bunch of riches all clustered together, what better chance to make the robbery of the century?) and, obviously, bodyguards and law enforcement.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
