Huh? You might want to reread my comments about EU datacenter. I didn't oppose EU being merged. I literally criticized people who were opposed and mentioned that they mostly had bad reasons to be against merging together. I said "More people = faster queues". Did you confuse me with someone else in that thread? I quoted my only comment below and it is the OPPOSITE of opposed:

It's the same thing for the U.S. data centers. People keep parroting the "Aether=Raid, Primal=Casual, Crystal=Gross ERP" idea. In reality, all these people are the same. In fact, I just recently moved from Gilgamesh (the so-called raid central of Aether) over to Excalibur (Primal), and Primal's PF is twice the size of Aether's every night (including Static parties) and the zones are far more lively.

It's so stupid, these reputations are almost never founded in truth. People are so eager to form teams and begin their "us versus them" rhetoric. Fact: More people = Larger pool to play with.

P.S. I have seen the report showing Aether has more clears of hard content than Primal but to be honest, it's not THAT much more.
