Personally, I pay no mind to someone's MMO play history, since I feel that compelling RP can "capture" a player into an otherwise lackluster MMO (not saying XIV 2.x is lackluster, mind you 
). I've played lots of MMOs serially, since I've been playing the genre basically since it was created. I would certainly hope no one would say, "That FreelanceWizard, he's played so many games that he has no hope of being a reliable RPer." No, I'd rather people shun me -- if they feel the need to do so -- because we have incompatible perspectives on RP. As an FC leader, what I care about is whether your character fits the concept and whether your style of RP fits with our charter. Where and how you've RPed in the past is somewhere close to the bottom of my list, in the "boy, that's interesting, maybe we crossed paths before" pile.
I'll pass on speculating about why the "big names" aren't around, other than to say I don't think it's as simple as evading "MMO hoppers." I will, however, say that there's lots of great RP groups around, lots of great RPers around, and you absolutely don't need to get a "big name" into your RP for it to be fun.
