I bought it. Its fun but takes FOREVER! Not to mention its impossible to find people to play it with. So, I never even bought a month. I don't even think I finished my trial

Maybe you just have issues finding people due to the lack of demand for someone with your job. That, and the fact that it's completely illogical to party before level 10. On top of that, you may have been on an underpopulated server, although I doubt that is the case. All of the servers are handsomely populated. However, if you were a thief, you wouldn't really get a demand for your skill, or lack of it, until level 15.
On top of that, you possibly didn't put the seek party setting on. Not too many people get parties without it, although in my case it's ridiculous, because everyone wants a PLD.
