- Post Count/Rep/Join Date don't seem to be causing problems or at least nothing that can be easily quantified.

Thank you for tl;dr, it helps a lot (no sarcasm, I'm being sincere; tone is difficult on the internet). If I might be a bit forward, I'd like to ask: who doesn't care about who?
I can tell you that (relatively) new folks who are vocal are heard (EDIT: even if not acted upon, "heard" is different than "addressed"). You and Graeham, for example, are two folks who immediately spring to mind, folks that don't feel like they're being fairly treated. I can only speak for myself, but what I can say is this:
I've seen Graeham all of once in-game, and it was while I was bunnyhopping around Revenant's Toll looking at my gear trying to decide what I wanted to upgrade. He was at the Mail Moogle or something. I don't think I've ever seen you, Kellach, in-game. If you've ever been in my vicinity, I must've missed you due to some distraction. As someone who seems to be on when you folks aren't, or else is busy when you folks are on, is there something more I should be doing? Should I have sent Graeham a /tell going, "would you like to RP sometime?" Should I have sent you a PM here asking the same? I've mentioned before that I don't really have the time to spare, but if it's really on me, I'd like to know.
And if it isn't on me, who is it on? Is it on Warren, who I only ever usually see roleplaying during the Grindstone, and during those times he's really busy officiating and managing a few dozen different conversations at once? Is it on FreelanceWizard (who, by the by, I have never roleplayed with despite wishing to, with the exception of a single passing during a Gus Pumpkinweed event), who perhaps might be on when you two are also on but when I'm not? Is it on Sounsyy, whose schedule and availability I'm not even remotely familiar with? Is it on Random Free Company Member #473?
The claim that many a roleplayer has or may have adopted the "screw you I got mine" attitude might have some basis to it, but I'm really curious to know who is expected to address this concern when the folks who claim to care don't have the time and the folks who claim to have the time don't care.
EDIT:
And then there are folks like Black Hat. :<
