Well the issue is that there really is no incentive for people to go against the tide and stay on their data center. It's a problem a the positive feedback loop. The more people concentrate on Aether the more encouraged others are to do the same. Yes it is a problem created by player behavior but it's impossible to put the genie back in the bottle now and tell everyone to not travel.

Not to mention something I tried to express in my original post, which is that niche content suffers as a result as well. If I make a PF for, let's say an old EX at minimum item level, having that listing visible to everyone on all of NA is going to make my group fill much faster than if it's just tucked away on Primal. Even if I travel to Aether to make the group, wouldn't it be better if people could browse all of the parties seamlessly?
