I think it depends on who you are, and the day. There have been times when I've gone to the Quicksand and emoted for hours to get nothing--especially if I'm on my alt. Val tends to get noticed or interacted with because people know him and he's a catboy.
My Midlanders? I even emoted one bumping into someone else, or spilling his drink on someone, or asking someone else questions--all different days--all ignored.
I don't necessarily think the Quicksand is a problem, as I know a bunch of people that go there and do get interaction. But I do think that it can be disheartening and incredibly annoying to try multiple days of the week and get nothing in return.
I will say I dislike how people seem to gravitate toward the Quicksand. It's so hard to find RP outside of it, and I wish there were. I'm hoping the Gold Saucer changes that, but it's also going to be a ridiculously huge lagfest with a ton of non-RPers unless they manage to instance it off like housing.
