On launch day, yes. That's likely to drop by a fair bit as the new car smell wears off, and anyway the numbers are half to a third of the peak numbers for like 12 hours of the day. If we expect 2-300 players, which is a little optimistic, divide that by whatever number of teams and you have the effective playerbase for group/raid availability. For PvP, you have the playerbase minus your own team. With FFA, there's no such limitation and you've minimized the risk of population-related problems as much as you can without actually attracting more players; and since a significant majority seem in favor of FFA, it's safe to say that FFA will actually attract more players in the first place.
