Different worlds community, how to know?

[CGMidlander]

Jenova is very hard to classify, we have very little raiders, elitist here and there, farm groups almost all times of the day, some rp, nice chuck of solo players, very little crafters and gatherers. It's not a very helpful server in my book, everyone wants Gil for helping one another, we've had a few people that were very helpful and wanted the community to grow but they couldn't put a dent into the world. I guess it's more a make it what you want kinda server, if I didn't own a house with two friends, I'd of paid to leave this server as my alts on other servers have turned out to be much better experiences.

There aren't very many raiders, but there is decent gatherer activity. As for crafters, the ones that do exist are generally quite accommodating if you talk to them. (And you probably should, since their MB listing prices are pretty bad.)

I'm not sure what you mean by "everyone wants gil for helping one another" when there hasn't been any run sales in months (Speaking as a run seller here, the demand has been pretty dry; the last sale run I've been in was for A1S back in January. Demand is dry because PF parties are more popular, albeit with varying success rates.) and there are people offering free melds in the PF every day. Nobody's charging for help in the Novice Network either. Can you clarify your statement?
