Honestly Dirtnap (and Davardo), from reading your posts in this thread I feel like your bar for kindness is considerably higher than mine. If your idea of a great server is one where everybody drops what they're doing to buff you, give you valuable items, and port you more or less on command you are playing a different game than the one I played on Live and the one I expect to play here.
It's absolutely true that people won't always do what you want them to do, but I don't want my game to be a charity server. I get some things I ask for and a lot of things I don't, but my attitude has always been that if I want to port I should be a porter, if I want sow I should be a sower, etc. Make friends, bother them, if you really need buffs all the time. But I don't expect it and I don't think most people do either. This is a game, everyone ultimately does what they want to with their time here. If they don't feel like buffing and porting they shouldn't feel obligated, and I don't feel like the server is somehow a lesser place for it.
I've never been excluded from groups for being an SK either. People are usually happy to see me, in fact. (Hi Sicca!) Seems like there is a tank shortage out there.
I hate to keep echoing what everyone else is saying Davardo, but it might be you, and you might want to consider the possibility that, at the very least, your expectations for "nice" exceed most others.
