I'm kinda not into the whole "why aren't people playing everymans" because the very definition of everymans requires the player to ignore 90% of what's happening and just say "Sigh life is hard" without the power to do anything about it.
Now imagine if ALL your RP was essentially going to the Quicksand and lament that life is hard because taxes etc. what-have-you.
You'd get bored of it but more importantly many others would get bored of it and just not accost you anymore. And since you're an everyman you can't exactly pop up elsewhere! It's not like an everyman would travel to Limsa on a whim, or Gridania.
Anything that happens to that person immediately makes them a not-exactly-everyman, doubly so if they decide to do something about it.
