Like, do you people realize how outrageously dumb this stuff sounds? Then proceed to have the gull to tell them "You just gotta get out there."? Are you kidding me?
I could be wrong since I can't read, but I don't think anyone's actually said 'don't' go to public events to make contacts. Most people have simply been advising against it. Which is pretty reasonable. It's not easy to do for a bunch of reasons - people attending large events with their friends and wanting to focus on that, immense chat scroll, wallflower vs. wallflower (like two ships in the night...), etc. If you're hedging your bets on making strong lasting contacts at a massive RP event, chances are you're going to end up getting frustrated and let down. It's not impossible, but it's a poor place to start.
