That said, I am a more social/casual player and that is the type of player my (smaller) fc is mainly comprised of. Without fresh players, it becomes more difficult to maintain activity as people grow weary of and need a break from FFXIV. I'm not going to force people to stay, but nor do I have to leave either. I have my own methods of weathering the increasing stagnation, however that doesn't mean that I have to keep quiet and blindly accept that this growing "blah" hasn't gone on for long enough.
You know, this sounds like exactly like what happened to other servers while Balmung and Gilgamesh were open for the past years. Let the other servers build bigger communities. From Faerie, this has been nothing but beneficial. You're just upset because you're on the other end of that effect now for a change. Funny part is, I'm sure Balmung and Gilgamesh are probably still 1st and 2nd in population for our DC even with the locks in place.
