Obviously OP means he wants a data center with a higher population of raiders. I don't think he has anything against RPers, just that in a lot of cases RPers either don't raid, raid casually, or aren't all that great at it. It's perfectly fine if OP and other people want to play with other like minded players.

You guys don't have to take it so personal nor do you have to attack raiders.
Not really though? Most RPers I know at least go up to midcore content and I know a healthy number that try for Savage as well. If you look at the numbers someone gleaned before the split, while Crystal did have less Ultimate clears it wasn't /that/ bad of a number. Particularly since in the merger we'd be getting the bulk of the preferred servers in NA with the split. Balmung also had a healthy raid community before all the doom saying drove a lot of raid guilds to leave, many of which also had RPers that are now on Gilgamesh and /still/ RPing over there if my friends ont hat server are to be believed.

I personally sympathize with the OP because I know what it's like to be separated from your friends in situations like this. It sucks. No one likes it and no one should have to go through with it. But you're not really close to being right about RPers and I also don't blame a lot of people on Crystal for feeling vindication after the past 5+ years of being talked down to by raiders for these very issues. It's hard /not/ to feel some schadenfreude when issues we've been complaining about for a long time now affect the very people who told us to take a hike and stop whining.
