I think the population would actually increase overall. There's dozens of people in BDA that just faded away because they hit that glass raid ceiling. They weren't willing to ditch the guild and they weren't willing to play like TMO/IB so they just quit entirely. There's plenty of casual guilds with members exactly like that who want to experience raid content.
I quit for this reason. And burned out on KC. Nothing will solve that though.

Honestly just curious but you hit the 'glass raid ceiling' with a level 52 monk? Assuming that your sig is accurate. Being burned out on KC is understandable by everyone I think, but there is a solution to that....go somewhere else. [You must be logged in to view images.

And AG does plenty of raiding so are you sick of waiting to get to VP or something because I know they are seeing other end-game content.

Not necessarily the same 'glass raid ceiling' as he refers to. However, consider what I have to look forward to as a 52 monk with scheduled play time... raiding just doesn't fit because:
  1. Variance is a good idea that doesn't work and ends up penalizing everyone.
  2. Too many people fighting over the same mobs makes it feel like the overcrowded swimming pool on deck 13 of the weekend cruise 'getaway'.
  3. MQ's are classic, but stupid because it provides incentive for people with lots of free time to farm irrelevant content which affects how I (and many others) play the game every time I log on.
  4. Economy is completely ruined because of large amounts of platinum and high end loot floating around (which all seems to be controlled by the same people).
All of these items have impacted what the server is today. To be clear I didn't log off one day and say I'm quitting because this sucks. I logged off and didn't feel the need to log back on because it just sucked trying to compete with everyone on everything right down to NO DROP quest loot and I got sick of it. So many bad experiences with randoms.

It's been a few months since I've logged in. AG was just getting into the mix with their first Trak kill and a few run ins with Gore and Talendor. Me quitting had nothing to do with what AG was or wasn't doing. AG is awesome. It is more a reflection of the state of the server.

And yet, here I am on the forums following this discussion.. why? I'm not quite sure at the moment.

These type of posts only segregate the blue community from the red community. I know you're trying to be sharper than a knife edge there, but it really just hurts your case. Nobody is rerolling off of posts like that.

The enormous sum of red recruiting posts just shows how desperate they are for more people because the population on their server is that devastating to the game play. If red really was a good server, they would be content not having any more people join, but it's obviously not a good server, otherwise we wouldn't hear people crying about it all day long.

derp

Let me follow this argument. Red could be better and because people try to make Red better than it already is it is obviously bad because if it was good people wouldn't want to make it better.

This is coming from a guy that is not happy with blue and wants to make it better by creating a brand new blue server. If blue was good though he wouldn't want to do that so blue is obviously a bad.

Correct. Why would any individual want to switch to a server that's already proven to be crap?

Who said blue was "good"? It's significantly better than red. However, let's suppose I considered blue to be just as bad as red, why would I switch from a bad server to another bad server? That doesn't make any sense. What I want is to go from a bad server to a good server.

Joining red is not the answer. Proven fact.

So what about server parts? I might have some I can donate from a bunch of "dead" servers (aka one of the parts is out of warranty and then ends up trashed) that are all pretty decent.

Though then I would want all of the top pop to go over to the new blue server that takes over beta. All top raid spawns for the top guilds but half maybe even a quarter spawn time. Lets them raid, can transfer a 45+ over to that server but no coming back. Content has to end at some point right
