Maybe we can be the next PC. We just lack the "!" in our FC's title. LoL j/k.
In all honesty that is not very many players that have left. They probably left in search of larger populations where the pool for raiding candidates are much more numerous. However, all servers have this similar problem at the current time. The reason we didn't receive any new content beyond the current ilvl gear is because most of the community thru all servers is unable to finish the current progression content, killing twintania. Surfing the progression forums will confirm this. Many FC's are at it but cannot progress beyond it even after the nerf. This stand still battle at twintania has exhausted the current raiders and the selection to choose from or reinforcements to fill those exhausted players also has been pretty much depleted too at this point.
The server still has a ton of veteran players from all sorts of MMOs here though. With the 2.1 patch releasing dungeons that produce ilvl60 gear this will help to increase the selection pool for more raiding candidates and especially help to promote the veteran raiders here, like myself, who have remained casual to be able to jump in to help push progression forward.
I feel the idea of the ilvl60 dungeons and the ilvl 80 raid were specifically targeted at casuals because we have been slacking with farming DL gear and essential gear in order to do progression content but this is mainly due to the fact that preparing to raid requires some amount of time investment which most of the casual population would consider a little too much. At the rate I am going, I would be ready to raid by 2.2 which would be far too late. With 2.1, you can expect the veteran casuals to be able to bolster the forces of current raiding community on famfrit and thru all servers.
With 2.1 we can expect things to change greatly, especially on smaller communities like ours. Do not be caught up in the gossip that ilvl60 and ilvl80 gear was useless because its main purpose is to increase the reinforcements for progression. This will draw out many veteran high end players to the raiding community to help push thru progression content so that by 2.2 we truly deserve new content for having a majority of the community completing the current content.
Hope this information helps the current raiding community here. Keep your heads high cause at 2.1 there will be plenty of fresh recruits and high end veterans jumping in to punch twintania in the face. Good luck from the slugs/casuals of the community![]()
