Two. One, advertise the game. I have never, ever seen a single ad for this game anywhere. I still might not know about it if I hadn't seen someone mention it when talking about player housing on the WoW forums a year ago. Two, https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/145253-how-about-a-referral-program/

I've told Carbine many times to 'shut up and take my money' if they'd put in account-bound versions of all currently in-game mounts that already have single-character versions. The response was account-bound cosmetic-only pets and ONE account-bound mount that I don't care much about. By ignoring player cash shop needs they are figuratively 'burning Benjamins while smoking cocaine off of hookers' while laughing at us. The lack of a centralized and visible location for developer feedback is one of the reasons why things get so messed up. One of the devs said himself that they only use the front page for 'marketing and promotion' instead of including vital things like patch notes, developer feedback, and so on. This may be an NcSoft issue as well, not sure. The forums are RC4-only and many people don't bother because of this. It warns/breaks on Chrome (depending on version), it heavily warns of 'broken encryption' on Firefox. And Internet Explorer already disabled RC4 a year ago (though they may have allowed people to change it on a per-website basis). And RC4-only websites are less than 0.0019% of the web according to CloudFlare CDN. Then there was that laughably-bad survey that caused browser security warnings and was from a different domain than the main website. I had to send in a support ticket and wait DAYS just to get a response that the survey is indeed legit. No VISIBLE public announcement to this day. The devs need to decide whether maintaining all these seperate 'social media' communities is worth the time to them. Does it really help? Is it worth the time that devs take away from doing their job just to sift through tens of thousands of forum posts, reddit posts, and facebook posts? TLDR: The problem isn't a lack of spending, it is a lack of awesome cosmetic account-bound things that people WANT to spend money on. Players are your content and having free players means that the servers are more populated and more useful for anyone else who DOES spend money. Please stop trying to spew this hateful elitist bile against purely-free players in any MMO community. They are welcome and NEED to feel welcome all the time (long as they aren't toxic) ;) EDIT:  Bolded the most important points.

How do you know if I'm exaggerating or not if you didn't read the stuff people said to me in game? Also, you can look for my thread if you want and see the responses I got. Some were decent, most were "it works fine for me", and a lot of others were downright rude, as if the game lagging for me somehow offended them. I never played WoW so no idea about that, and the person I cited was an example of treating ftp players like second class citizens to show my point, I never said everyone was like that. I judge the community on how I was treated. About the gw2 stuff. It's simple: I was having fun here in WS before it started to become unplayable, and if that didn't happen, I wouldn't even have given gw2 a fair shot. I would still be playing WS, not knowing that I would find GW2 way cooler and more fun.

It's just anecdotal evidence. You can say this about any game. Oh I played x game and ran into players that were mean and stole my lunch money that must mean the other million or so players are also like this.

I agree with you, tho i see that the low lvl areas are pretty crowded. Maybe we can help eachother in zone chat if people need help? Or help guildies so people feel at home at the game. dunno will think more about.

Honestly the only thing keeping myself and many others from trying this game again are people like you, Lemurian, and many of the other people who have been exceptionally rude in this thread, who make this community seem so toxic and rude. Not only that, but you encouraging people to be silent so that potential players wont know what's going on. Again, this thread isn't going to stop me from playing the game, your comments are making me hesitant, however.

Despite being a decent game, Rift was doomed to be niche because its just another tab-target mmo when WoW and FF14 are the best in that class. ESO is doing well, not just because it is an elder scrolls but because it has improved by leaps and bounds since it released. MMORPG.com just featured ESO as their best mmo of 2015 and have an article on it. I've played it a bit recently and while I don't really like the combat that much, I can see that it's getting much, much better. The justice system was a fine addition. The dungeons are actually more accessible (tho not as enjoyable) than WildStar's since the group finder quickly puts a group together from players of all levels. ESO has a healthy twitch population as well and a ton of achievable things to do for players of almost every playstyle, which is more to say than WildStar does.

I get what you're saying about rude people, but you are offbase about Lemur encouraging people to be silent. He's not telling the OP to stop making threads, he's telling him to stop making threads with titles like this. There's a big difference there. You may take the time to click the thread and read through it, but others won't, they'll just keep seeing these thread titles basically saying the game is dying, losing players, and they won't go any further than that. And really, what do you expect the responses to be to something like this? I'd say they've been fairly tame, all things considered, and the OP's supporters are being just as rude. So why only pick on the supporters of the game for being the toxicity here? And one of the worse thing about all of this is, if we do try to combat these types of thread titles by making threads that bring the issue up in a less provocative/doomy way, they get locked, deleted, or combined with WTF we're trying to combat because "There's already a thread about this, so we're going to lock this up/combine it with the other one."
