I like not having to compete for Ambuscade entry KI mobs. #2 in Reisenjima is always open. I've only seen #9 completely occupied once, briefly. I'm sure you or Jin will tell me I'm selfish, but I like Valefor and accept it as it is.
There's nothing selfish about wanting to keep to yourself, I actually do a whole lot of that myself. Like Jin mentioned, I believe too many people on the quieter servers have this false image of Asura in their heads based on comments I've seen on the various message boards. I can solo night and day, all week long without having to worry about the wait times or overcrowding situations despite what you may have heard. You can also multibox wherever you please if that's more your thing. I can capture videos of notorious multiboxers on Asura doing all the things players on other servers are afraid they wouldn't be able to do here if it needs to come to that.

I just spent the night getting a few support jobs to 50 on an alt account, knocked out about 20 Escha Zi'Tah NMs for vorseals/gear and killed Quetzalcoatl 15 times for silt, acc+ vorseals, stones and some beads solo/dual boxed. I couldn't have done all that by staying on my ghost town of a server nor would I have the benefit of the active economy or the option of jumping into PUGs should the desire arise.

I didn't think that it was a controversial statement.
It is for everyone, though. You're capable of doing everything you can do on your smaller server with all the benefits that come from being on the largest. The only real hurdle is convincing your friends/LS mates to make the move along with you and swallowing the transfer fee.
