I've posted this before and I'll say it again. The market changes. Consumers' expectations change. This goes for ANY business and ANY industry. If companies don't adapt, they'll suffer the consequences. We're no longer in a market with few games to choose from. With massive amount of competition, releasing a game just like the last.. and the one before that.. and the one before that... leads to the same results. I don't even know if any company or investor would put forth the money required to have an MMO be fully tested and polished prior to launch, but this is the current state of the MMO market. No game will stand out and explode like WoW did until they release something exceptional, not expected.

Obviously the game isn't "dying" like a lot of these nuts think, but there are definitely population issues on some of the smaller servers in NA and EU. There is no denying it. Thayd at primetime on several servers has less than 50 people.

But even with that, we don't have any clue how Carbine sees the population from the absolute data they have, and how their tools really show it to players. We already know /who is under-functional etc.

Regardless of the real population, if players are finding themselves without people to play with, that should be the focus. It may not have anything to do with lack of actual players.

Oh, I am aware. The pvp forums have been funny:

Not an exaggeration: people complain about something, devs ignore or say it isn't an issue, players get frustrated and join in complaining in unison, no response from devs, players become furious at game and begin being nice to each other unified by shared hatred, still no response from devs, players unite, riot, rage, and threaten mass exodus, 1 dev posts saying he has some ideas for changes, lists many fixes that people have complained about for 6 months.

Well at least the op's post had content that consisted of more than "don't post in my forum".

Well actually that is what you said. Insulting me doesn't really help your argument much.
