This is data regarding active, successful raiders across the existing NA data centers, taken from FFLogs, tracking individual characters per server and grouped by data center. It shows the numbers that have cleared the O8S through O12S Final fights as best as we're able to see that data. It also shows what percentage of those players are attached to a static.

The net result of your proposed reordering is a massive reduction in the raiding playerbase for servers that will be located in Crystal. There are literally 50-80% more active raiders on each of the other two data centers, depending on which fight you're looking at. This will be massively detrimental to the raiding scene for Crystal. Party Finder is already pretty rough the farther into the current tier you get, this will make it substantially worse.

Every data center is taking a hit in the number of active raiders, obviously, but this is an imbalance that needs to be addressed beforehand - otherwise the problem will end up being even worse than it already appears to be once Crystal raiders start transferring in droves over to Aether or Primal.
