Everybody seems to be missing the point. Fact is, the EU split has killed our PF, which was already super lacking beforehand. Our original population, for all intents and purposes, has been halved.

Pre expansion burnout/downtime or not, the split has done more damage than any lack of content. I highly doubt it will, but unless Shadowbringers doubles our population we won't even be close to what PF/DF/whatever activity we used to have.
