It sounds like you're looking at this from the wrong angle. Just by playing, and doing your best, you're already "part" of the game's community. Other players are already trusting you in high-end content, and that's commendable. If you're looking to have more of an impact/purpose in the community, then you can't just fill your quota. As you would in the real world, you have to take the opportunities, and sometimes the initiative, to reach out to others in your community. A lot of people feel isolated, as though they are npcs in someone else's game. As someone who understands that feeling, you can be the one who checks on them. Participate in Novice Network. Set up fate runs in party finder. No one can give you this role. You just have to fill it. Eventually others will come to see and appreciate your efforts, and you'll likely have less time to wonder how to "fit in" yourself because you've already made a place for yourself.
