I am sure there are other reasons, but that is the biggest ones I've heard.
This. To new players that don't RP, they hear too many meme's about balmung or rather now crystal as a whole as the RP server and with that, people automatically assume people don't raid.
So with that misinformation, new players or people that believe everything they read head to aether.
While true aether is more raid focused, crystal isn't all RP and only rp. Its just balmung, honestly anywhere else you won't see any RP.
