It gets pretty depressing, only having these sorts of experiences. The people that haven't come on to my character, are usually the ones that haven't even acknowledged posts. I had the same problem in all of my MMO's. People tend to ignore those who aren't part of their FC/guild/niche. But i was hoping for better. I don't like drama, and i dislike having almost a full black list, and a nearly empty friends list. The only rp i've had, is AT the Grindstone. When i try to approach people I've fought, or were in the audience; on any other day. It goes neglected. So at this point, saturday are my only rp days. The other 6 days of the week, i either level out of boredom, which is a last resort. Stand around trying to recruit, or sit in the Drowning Wench. After a few days, i just don't even bother logging in. I've started taking breaks, to play other games. Since Rp is the only thing tying my interest to FFXIV, i have no reason to play avidly; without it.
I think you're problem is just that you are in the wrong place, I really think the quicksand is an excellent way to meet other RPers IC. 2 months ago, I'd never RPed in my life, but after awkwardly a week or so of awkwardly approaching people in the quicksand, a whole new world opened up for me. I highly suggest you visit, even if it's just to hand out a while and soak in the atmosphere. It's pretty fun to see so many stories happening all around you. Like I said I'd be happy to introduce you to people. Natalie knows a stupid number of people in that place.
