Going to a public event of scale is like going to a nightclub. It's loud (chatspam) and awkward to do  alone.  You might get lucky and find your friends, or make new friends, but people generally go there with people they already know to enjoy the atmosphere.  The place to make new friends is by finding characters with similar interests/traits as yours and doing that.  On a WAYY smaller scale.  If you are making 20+ characters and none of them are clicking, then the error is NOT on them, it is on you.
My character is a monk that has taken up hiding in Ul'dah by blacksmithing. Â For the last 3 years I've had fun with him doing that, but wanting to expand my RP crowd, I opened up a shop and threw up advertisements to let them come to me! Â
And ready to RP monk stuff now that monk lore is likely to be expanded on in the new expansion, I went to where all the monks are and asked around and found a small group of people RPing and BAM! Â There I was, with new friends to RP with.
Change your approach.
Also anyone that thinks a lalafell can't be taken seriously is bad at FFXIV. Â Lalafell are the easiest to make joke characters and parodies with, sure. Â But REAL lala RPers are awesome.
