    Balmung used to be a very heavy raiding center. At least, back in the 2.0 days.

    Heavensward broke everything though.

    It's because people think that roleplay is the boogeyman. Plain and simple.

    The people you hear these things from are the people that can't separate legitimate roleplayer's from the one's that actually break the rules.

    I have an alt on Crystal (and a few friends who transfered over there during the Great Divide) and while I notice that the instanced content can be...an adventure over there moreso than it is on Aether (where my main is), the attitude on Crystal is way more chill.

    So yes, you can wipe a few times but on Aether where it would devolve to salt and rage-quitting and vote kicks/disbands, on Crystal you just knock the dust off and try again. It's a trade-off but the relaxed attitude makes up for any gaps in aptitude IMO. Haven't tried Primal but a friend of mine moved there so I might make another alt. (Honestly it sounds like a more RP friendly Aether though).

    It goes both ways. For every shortsighted opinion that pops up about Crystal, I too wonder how you can suffer such an environment in your datacenter's as well. You are all one collective unhappy group and it shows in these replies.

    I don't think my experience of PF in EX would have been too different on another DC.

    No, he doesn't. He shows there are players clearing Savage on Crystal just as there are players clearing it on other data centers.

    Don't confuse the percentage of players with a clear as being the same as the percentage of players attempting to clear.

    It wouldn't have been. All joking aside, people think of Crystal as non-raiders when the more accurate way of thinking about it is that people who are MOSTLY interested in raiding congregated around Gilgamesh to find each other. Crystal raids, we just RP as well and thus congregated around Balmung to find each other.

    I used to be on Gilgamesh and now I'm on Balmung.

    The difference is people being slightly less hardcore and sometimes in character when hanging around the overworld.

    I wouldn't call people from other Data centers an unhappy lot. Just one's more focused on content. Just like I wouldn't call everyone on Crystal RPers or worse ERPers. Each datacenter has their pros and cons which general happiness may or may not factor into.
