Gonna have to second this. I've rolled up in the Quicksand on several alts and had no problem finding RP. Most weren't super secret alts or anything, but it wasn't common knowledge or visibly obvious that they were my characters, and I still got walk-ups and /tells--usually from people who don't even know me as Faye, regardless.
On probably my least known alt (the only one I've played who you can't find in my signature below because I've been too lazy to add her), I've had no problem finding RP. I will note that because I'm an awkward wallflower, I have not initiated any interactions; it was all other role-players being kind and social. That being said, yeah, of course sometimes I stand there for hours on end with no interaction, but that's what happens when you don't approach others or emote directly at them, not any sort of "toxicity." This character is only level 25, for whatever that's worth, and I RPed her sporadically as I was leveling her.
I was approved to the first FC I took an interest in with her and they were super nice and welcoming. It didn't turn out to be exactly what I was looking for and we recently split amicably, but it was not a negative experience in any way. I took her to events hosted by other FC's where patrons and staff made small talk with her. I took her to the Quicksand numerous times where I've received dozens of walkups--everything from your typical folks just perusing for ERP to someone hiring her to make weapons for him in some shady business for prolonged interaction.
You absolutely do not need connections or a reputation to find RP (but it helps) and you have to start building these things somewhere regardless--we all started from square one in the beginning, believe it or not.
