Along with the player base not wanting to risk failure on certain fights so they try not to pug them. Or they only ask for jobs people half asleep can't even screw up on. It sucks a lot. Specially if you get on at non peak hours for your area or don't get to get on often.
    I think you need to read that site a little more.

    That simple shows XIV linkshell players, most of whom do not play anymore.

    It's not a list of active players at all. I know the state of many of the servers on XIV because I played it for a long while, both games need server mergers but they won't do it because it's seen as a negative at a time when they are trying to push the positive.

    Site creators post on her redit.

    There's no way to determine who's an active player or not - sadly Lodestone returns ALL players - so I get about 3 million level 1 RMT and bots. A tiny fraction of them are 'active players' who aren't in an FC, and the rest are FC players who may be alts, or on some sort of long leave.

    At least with FC players you know there's a chance a human being you can play with is behind the character.
    The numbers are worthless, as worthless as working out population numbers based on FFXIAH.

    What she should of done is what a JP player did long ago, scrape the database and then do it again 30 days later. Compare the 2 results and ones that have changed are active, those that are the same are inactive. She instead chose a method that was pointless, other than to give false positive information.
