It is a patch lull. Obviously the congested status changes during patches or for strategic reasons (such as to push people over to Dynamis and balance it out).

As far as Lucky Bancho's numbers go, those are based over multiple months (so could capture activity from an earlier month) but are also typically taken during patch lulls or before patches to capture the lowest numbers, to give a better sense of the baseline rather than the patch spikes.
We shouldn't be in a patch lull 4 months after a major expansion release. The trickle feed is barely life support. There isn't enough variety of things to do. Gear system is mediocre and they likely won't ever change it. So they could at least put things like character personalization behind content. At least then there would be things to do, but they don't, so there's not..

Tattoos.. Face paint, skin, Hair, eye colors and styles... different ear styles (pointy tips for those half elf humes) different ear types for viera. . emotes...

Put them behind content that forces you to play the game. But they don't... there is so much they could do, but they won't. Theyre content just drip feeding us a days worth of content every 4.5 months, same BS as always. Stretching it out as long as they can so they can invest as few hours as possible into the game while milking it's player base..

But cool. We get a donut earring.
