The three starting city states are always pretty busy and packed during peak hours and I am sure that will stay pretty much the norm so new players will see that the city states are still pretty active. That is where I talk to new players the most and hand out crafted gear etc. Not so much the over world. I just don't really see how this is such a bad thing that it will turn people away from the game.
I see plenty of people in all areas of the game now. Maybe that is due to the free week they had. But we'll have to see what happens. To me, they didn't need to change much in ARR as that is just the "teaching" part of the game. Flying will make the original areas completely dead now. I love my flight but it is fine how they had it. Will just have to wait and see, but since having great success with this expansion, they seem like they are starting to make some bad decisions. I'm for streamlining the quests in ARR but how much before it's gutted, making crafting far too easy now, adding flight, and if you go by some, the lack of content right now.

I am starting to get WoW vibes here decision wise and that is not good.
