Lodestone census march 2017

I know these are the highest numbers we've had so far. But generally speaking, raiding is not popular in NA/EU compared to JP.
Many players don't even wan't to attempt it. It makes me wonder why?

I dragged a friend of mine who have never done Savage or Extreme before into Sephirot EX learning party. Surprisingly he was top DPs and he learned the fight very fast compared to the rest with him.

I told him that he has skills to go for Savage. He playes on PS4 so didn't have a way of knowing how good he was. He always thought that he was underperforming.
Now he is jumping into every Extreme learning party (Has cleared them) and is going for Savage (Cleared some of it).

I think it is because raiding scene has a bad image in NA/EU.

As someone from the top raiding server for JP, i can confirm we can pug in raid finder and still clear

I think it is because JP have very different mentality than NA/EU where people here rarely/if ever admit to their mistakes and just point fingers at each other.
Also, the average skill level on JP is way higher compared to NA/EU

'Cause EU/NA has WoW, JP doesn't.
