FFXIV Population this small really? wtf?

I know that, but it doesn't change the fact that the number is horribly skewed due to them including RMT bots in the figure.

Or at least I'm assuming that's the case because I seriously doubt the player base has actually increased by four million since Stormblood dropped (The ads just prior to its release were claiming 10 million players).
