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.
