It's sad because i will never do a raid or kill ifrit.
The main problem is theres no chatting area unlike many mmo rpg's.. people dont talk dont get to know one another and theresfor ignore everyone.. this game isnt a social game at all

I quit a while for that reason.. because things seem to be ipossible.. i see now i am back thing havent changed at all yet.
Pretty much had a similar experience to you, played since the alpha/beta. Ended up having to solo everything due to lack of people to play with. From what I noticed most people in active linkshells aren't really looking to recruit anyone new. Never seen a recruitment shout in Ul'Dah.

It's easy for someone in a linkshell to say "go join a good linkshell", but then think to yourself would you invite someone to your group that has done no end game raids, but really wants to join to do new content and do some fun stuff, and you would have to run through older stuff to get them up to speed? It's not easy as you think to get in a linkshell as some people seem to think it is.

One of the reasons why I don't like attunements. Gives even more incentive for linkshells not to take someone new.
