I don't recall saying that more players won't benefit the server.
I'm saying that there's no reason to believe that a week long experience bonus will translate into a sustained larger player base. The experience bonus will have to end eventually, at which point experience levels return to normal. If a player is unsatisfied with the experience rate on P1999, a paltry week of an increased rate will mean very little.
If you can present a logical counter-argument to this, I'm all ears. But I don't really do appeals to emotion.

My gut feeling that an xp bonus will lure in some players beyond those who would join without an xp bonus, which will then result in at least some of those extra players staying, is as legitimate a thought as your gut feeling that all of the players who sign up just because of the bonus xp will be unable to handle the normal xp rate, and therefore will quit when the bonus dries up.
It's cool to ignore the fact that your thoughts on the issue are just as empirically and quantitatively baseless as mine are, though, and then to call me out to present a "logical counter-argument," as if a logical argument had been made for me to counter.
