Is YOUR server this way?

[Tsuga]

For the few times I've been in Ul'dah, I do notice less people by the repair npc. What I do see are more people over by the Roegadyn npc in Ul'dah (or Maisenta in Gridania) crafting through leves.

I've noticed that when I'm over there I cannot hear shouts from people that are on the lower level (near the MW or repair npc).

I've also noticed that the majority of crafters are either botting (I craft a lot, and I love crafting next to someone experimentally starting conversations to see if they're botting. Usually if they don't respond for a good 3-5 synths I assume that they're botting), or not paying any attention to their screens, and so they may not see you shouting for help.

THIS and Skyward Sword AND Minecraft Official Release... ever consider the possibility that people are just simply playing other games????????

Truth, since skyrim came out my LSs have dropped to less than half of normal attendance.

Hell, even I'm taking a break for Skyward Sword! The power of this Fall's release schedule is just too compelling...
