The death of savage raiding and SE's lack of action

[Havenchild]

And yet the shortage has gotten so bad that multiple places are talking about it.

This isn't just a forum echo chamber thing. People who laughed about the healerstrike are also acknowledging a shortage, and it's still early in the tier, it can only get worse from here.

You keep saying that numbers support you, yet you don't have these numbers, no one here does, only SE themselves have the numbers.

So there's a neat little thing called FFL (figure it out), which you can parse out how many people cleared (and uploaded) clears by the end of week 1.

Some of the data is as follows and has been confirmed on twitter/reddit by multiple users.

Week 1 Tier Clears

Arcadion: 950
Anabaseios: 288
Abyssos: 252
Asphodelos: 539
Eden Promise: 172
Eden's Gate: 313

(Eden Verse doesn't exist because FFL was down for Week 1)

Now keep in mind, this only includes loggers, and perhaps repeat clearers (on alts) so those uploads could be potentially included as well. But I assure you, that is rarer for Week 1 than not as most people hit a sort of burn out after the heavy prog and rarely jump back into PF that week (but not impossible on an alt). If we even remove 100 uploads from each column in each tier to account for this, there is still a decisive increase in the amount of clears of Arcadion compared to others. I imagine the LuckyBancho numbers (which read achievements on lodestone and due to be released within the next month or two) will confirm a big jump in overall clears.
