sprouts, sprouts everywhere

[Naoki34]

last weekend there was only a few sprouts here and there in the starting cities but tonight theres hundreds of sprouts in all 3 starting cities and the starting zones i havent seen this many new players running around in ages when did ff14 become so popular all a sudden

It's like this every time before the release of an expansion where they do a large advertising campaign on Twitch and other means, to recruit new players, and the fact that FFXIV is F2P until the end of Heavensward, it works well.

By the way... The skill level in dungeons and raids has really dropped since a week or two. In Nier raids, I see even more people who don't know the combat mechanics and die over and over.

Already before the level in raid alliance, is not terrible while it is relatively easy content, now the general level is terrible... And yes, the newbies of the first recruitment campaign arrived at level 80 and it shows everywhere...
