Asura population decline

[Gwydion]

What if we saw a 25% increase in returning players? Would the Asuran player base take them in with open arms and show them ropes in events like Sortie? Would they help them through the odyssey climb? Would Asurans settle for 8-9k segment farms for a few weeks until they get up to speed? How about charged amps? ...or will Asurans just sell them RP one fight at a time? (hey, it's better for business right?)

Folks can complain about the current state, but you also have to ask yourself, what did I do to cause it? ....Asura has been a really messed up place to play ever since people migrated to Asura for Delve clears when Item Level was introduced. (Back then, everyone had a pocket WHM and an Oatixur Monk). How is today any different from the exclusions?

i only posted asura because it's the server i play on and the population decline was very noticeable. can't speak for any other server but i imagine they are probably bleeding subs too.

I'm in a couple of GMT linkshells - they are very active and help all new players.

The most messed up thing is mercs. People use them, but don't really understand how self-destructive they are.

People buy everything from mercs, don't bother to engage in content and learn techniques, get in the habit of 'that's the norm' and end up bored standing in town and then quitting.
