Sure, you can argue that people can push and push until they find someone to interact with them but if someone endures multiple bad experiences they're liable to just give up which in turn lessens the amount of fresh blood trickling into the community.
Put your foot in the door, do your best to try to talk people! Try not to get discouraged. It is always hard to make friends. This is true everywhere. But there are plenty out there just waiting to be found, and once you make a couple, you'll make many more much more quickly!
I think you're misunderstanding and unintentionally just stating things that are rather obvious to many. I'm not a particularly shy guy. I have been putting my foot in the door yet so far outside of my FC it has been immensely difficult to get any consistent role-play with both strangers and people on this site who are explicitly claiming to be extending their arms in welcome and then shoving people away when they are approached in-game.
I've also had no issue getting role-play in other MMO's though similar problems have arisen there. The difference is a lot of people don't pretend as if it isn't happening.
I mean, the evidence is there - the Miqo'te above is far from the first person to come to this site and state that he has an issue getting involved with stuff. At some point that ceases to be a case of 'try, try, again' and more to do with a need to address the rot that exists within the community.
