I really can't put myself in the same catagory, I believe if you find the game to be isolating/frustrating/boring, you need a new LS, new job, new race, maybe a new character altogether. There is so much endgame content in FFXI that to be bored is beyond my grasp. Isolated and frustrated comes with a lack of an active endgame shell, or maybe you just need a new social shell.
I'm not saying that in time, people can't begin to grow apart from FFXI, I know several people who dumped their characters after 6 years of gameplay... but these are also the people who had full sets of AF+1, Homam, salvage pieces, relics, etc. The game has a tremendous amount of endgame, but its still able to be completed. The fights do get boring, killing Fafnir over and over, zerging Kirin, or whatever, the novelty wears off.
As for me, as of right now, I can't voice the rest of the people who wouldn't mind participating in your NM database.
