Loosing players after update?

[Tiggy]

I honestly don't know how people can sit here and deny the fact, XIV is losing players and quite quickly. It's fairly obvious, just by taking a look at all the populated places that are almost ghost towns now and the lack of anything on PF / hunts, compared to a few months ago.

I don't understand how people can keep thinking "the state of my server" is equal to "the state of the whole game."

Also, you're server has only 14k less people (According to FFXIV Soul) than Balmung the server I'm on. Being a legacy server isn't a big deal anymore. It's not the bargaining chip it used to be in this kinds of discussions.

Thirdly, we are in the last month of a 3 month patch cycle. Things ALWAYS slow down in the last month only to boom like crazy when the next .1 patch comes out. This follows the same pattern we've seen three times already.

Lastly, It might help to remember that Destiny just came out, and that school started. In my own FC I can ramble off a list of people that haven't been playing much in the last two weeks for those two specific reasons, and as far as Destiny is concerned they are beginning to trickle back in. (Myself included) Just because people aren't around doesn't mean it's because the game sucks. It's not that black and white.
