Going back to JP servers...

[SarcasmMisser]

That's really interesting.
Do they often update this kind of information? Would love a link.

It has english, select a world and underlined text under achievements or ranking to see comparisons of worlds.

We still do because they are bad lol.

EM primals being farmable in DF, too hard over on NA servers.

The top NA raiding servers don't even break the top 20 as a % of players. Tonberry leaves every other NA world in the dust just below them.

If anyone needs numbers for the first picture:

First table:

Nightmare
JP: 17991
NA: 3700
EU: 1170

Ifrit
JP: 1366
NA: 460
EU: 168

Garuda
JP: 2418
NA: 1108
EU: 496

Titan
JP: 5507
NA: 559
EU: 174

Leviathan
JP: 6654
NA: 1631
EU: 537

Ramuh
JP: 2206
NA: 768
EU: 277

Shiva
JP: 2073
NA: 605
EU: 201

Second table indicates people who has x number of mounts. So for example, that makes 10 people across JP datacenters who have all 7 mounts, 0 in NA, and 3 in EU.

Maybe if NA players stopped buying gil and learned to play... I mean I get almost 5 gil seller messages an hour on Behemoth server. They must be making a killing on NA servers to be THIS active. Plus bots that never get banned no matter how much they are reported.

People selling runs in NA is extremely profitable apparently... they also say that their clients are mostly gil buyers. So NA servers are flooded with people who paid to get to end-game and can't even play their characters properly. I'm just basing my information on what I see and have heard. I also can't verify how it is in JA or EU servers. I just know that my main complaint right now is people who suck at the game REALLY bad. I mean even when I try to explain to them and help them and tell them what they need to do it's to no avail... they'll continue being stupid and I'm literally getting tired of it.

2-Not many people speaks other languages than english(I speak 4 languages).

I don't get it. How is this a problem?

I seriously doubt that information is accurate. They're no more "flooded" with gil-buyers than the JP or EU servers. But if you don't like NA for some reason, it might be a good idea to transfer elsewhere.

First one is ponies per datacenter, second one is amount of players with wind-up louisox which is an achievement item for clearing final coil. Granted you have to claim it from the NPC, but this is true for every world so every world gets that variable.

whoa... no wonder I can't turn around without bumping into a Final Witness or folks with butt wings. O_O I had thought all servers had gotten through FCoB as much as I see on Atomos.

How's that not ellitist? -_[~.~]_-

Because a Elitist is more like this.

Full party joins dungeon, One person dies and lets say it was the Elitist fault, he'll deny it and say everyone else sucks and leave instantly or say nothing and quit the dungeon doesn't matter if you almost won either or near the end.
Also pay for rushes and claim they busted their butts for that gear but was carried, I call those poser elites.

another example.

He'll keep harping on how great they are that they never die and if they died it was because someone else, my gear is better than yours, you died you suck and laugh, talks about how dps is better and kick people, kicking people because 1 piece of gear isn't up to their standards doesn't matter how well you play.
On lower jobs will say they have other characters higher level with better gear and they know how the job works so you should listen to them.

I can keep going, though I seen a lot of them in FFXI who claim the only reason people got the stuff they worked for is because of them.
I was in a shell like that in FFXI and I said no because everyone came together as a team not because of you, he tried to kick me out of shell and I left before that could happen, reason is i was tired of seeing him talk crap about other players when they werent on and acting buddy buddy when they were on.

SOA got like that, people say you need a high end sword to join the run but how are you supposed to get the sword if you cant join the run, which made zero sense and one of the reasons I stopped playing FFXI its like SE said SOA was made for elite players it was very hard to get into partys near the end, I figured out how to gain high weapons by joining a 3 hour boss fights dino, shark but when it came to the 18 people alliance that weapon wasnt good enough.

You're making a LOT of assumptions about the nature of the playerbase in your post. Yes, I can see numbers, but those numbers don't really indicate anything because I have no idea of the nature of the playerbase. For all I know, a larger portion of the NA/EU playerbase prefers to roleplay over farming EX mounts. That doesn't necessarily mean they don't have the ability to farm mounts, it just means they choose not to. Same thing with people who prefer to play MMOs to strictly socialize, or focus 99% of their energies on crafting. Maybe more people choose to farm plants over farming coil. I don't know, so I can't draw any conclusions out of those numbers other than "well those are nice numbers."

My point being is that a number such as a % of the playerbase doesn't really MEAN anything by itself unless we know what that number is being compared against and how each member of the playerbase chooses to spend their time.

Goodbye, TC. Hope you enjoy all those things you stated but in Japanese.

Yawn. The numbers being compared against are in the data. Here look

This person put about 1000 times more effort compiling this data and making it useful than you did defending incompetence. If you put in the slightest amount of effort critiquing the data you would find a very big flaw that makes % comparisons problematic (there is one) but instead went for the tired "people can do it they just don't want to". Which is a variable you didn't explain why it doesn't apply to JP players and you probably don't want to try unless you want to accidentally do the thing you accused me of doing.
