Because those types of things happen in all areas. It's not limited to the Quicksand, Ul'dah, or what have you other places.
We live in an imperfect world where mistakes happen and sometimes messages get missed. There's no way to fix it so that 100% of the people are always there and responsive 100% of the time, without fail, but patience and PMing people seems to be a good first bet.
I personally filter my tabs to put my FC/linkshells into a separate window so I can monitor multiple things at once and easily parse through the junk when chatscroll becomes a problem. I also try not to AFK in known public RP places or move myself if I plan to alt+tab and not monitor my screen. I also benefit from a dual monitor setup to where if I alt+tab to check something, I can keep an eye on things on the other screen, so that's pretty helpful. If I come back and see someone is sitting at the same table/looking at me/etc., I immediately apologize OOC out loud to announce I'm back and then try to find if anything's been said. Easy stuff, really.
