Lots of sprouts.. Where are all the new folks coming from?

Did leveling roulette on my DRK yesterday, got matched with 3 sprouts. Checked their stats. Highest level was 40. So, there are definitely people who only started playing recently.

My guess is that they come from Gil farmers and RMT dealers.

I recently lost my “sprout” status too.
I lost my sprout after reaching Crystarium in Shadowbringers.
I had my sprout status for a long time since I was doing other things like leveling my crafters instead playing through the story.

If I level Botanist enough, I can keep sprout forever.

You see, when a mommy sprout and a daddy sprout love each other very much.....

I'm still a sprout in the game. Is there a way to keep my sprout so people won't judge me?

you will lose your sprout status after a certain amount of hours have been reached in your total playtime.....if i remembered correctly

Might be a lot players is bored and created new alts to play till 5.1 comes out. Not sure how you loose your sprout have alt that's finished sb from arr and still has a sprout after having it for 3 years. Can remove it if you belong to a fc and go into profile then pick a different status like rp or busy.

You need to reach Shadowbringers as well.

It's the only MMO on PS4 that is worth playing and my friend refuses to assimilate to the PC Master Race. I really suck at the dungeons and trials though. I think I have a mental block to them and, after a month or so of playing, it still doesn't compute that they don't give you much in the way of clues as to what you're supposed to do so I should probably watch a video so I'm not as bad. But I just keep hitting the DF up like I know what I'm doing and staring in horror thinking "wtf is happening on my screen" most of the run. Fun times. Friend just laughs at me. So, sorry to whoever gets grouped with me. I go in blind and being bad on top of that is a recipe for disaster. You people have been very patient and tolerant of my awfulness so thanks for that.

Anyway, yeah, I'm here until the 7 remake and Cyberpunk.
