The reason you see no shouts is because you aren't shouting for stuff you want, just shout for 2 more people to join you and tell them you're just going to solo. It's pretty easy, you don't have to run an event they can just do what you plan to do.
You're finding people, therefore its not a "single player game."

If anything FFXI is more single player now because you can do almost everything with trusts and not need to deal with other people at all, much less people you'll rarely meet a second time.
