How quiet should FC chat be before you quit?

[Galgarion]

Is there anything eerier than twenty people being online at once, with no one saying anything? Is there anything more annoying than getting recruited into an FC with the promise of socialization and help, only to be immediately shunted into a dead chat where no one ever says anything to you again beyond your initial welcome? What's the point of being in a social group where no one speaks? How long should you stay in a quiet FC?

Edit* Just for a little clarity, I like the Free Company my main is in, and I'm not complaining about them and wondering if I should quit. This topic is just water cooler conversation about other FC's where playing with them is no different than playing solo because it's so quiet.
