Also agreed with post above. It's bad in some ways but the thinner population has also promoted greater camaraderie amongst the community. I've actually had an easier time getting help more recently than a year ago, oddly enough.
14 went from being a game closer to XI than it is currently to a game that has become basicly a WoW clone, to me it's like Sfchakan said ARR is a whole bunch of anonymous players all standing around playing the game solo queing in for dungeons. I'm not into that, I'm more into group play and working as a team like XI had, XI used to be better...

Anyways, the world sure could use another merge IMO because right now there just isn't enough going on.
