Server population is dropping...

Looks like you're making an Argument from fallacy to me...

the guy makes a valid point: 4chan is not really a bastion of reliable sources, so "some guy on 4chan claims X" isn't really all that useful as supporting evidence.

You're not actually showing that it's standard practice.

Insider trading* is so well known that it's got it's own term. That doesn't mean that it's "standard practice" ...

*and you can insert probably hundreds of different terms here.

i really dont see server population a issue. I know i saw 5 people on tython yesterday but no big deal for i normally dont group but when i do its with my wife when she is on. im not part of a guild to group and my wife is not either so we dont see this as a issue.

LOL so true.

I play game like a single player game and will spend hours going up and down Alderaan and Balmorra roads for ach and salvage nodes.

With only 5 people (counting myself) on those planets during prime time hours, I rarely have to contend with someone else for said nodes!

Is a upside to everything

I really think that the reason these servers are like you all say they are is because people are moving to a more populated server. I my self are trying to move away from crouded servers because i hardly ever group and dont join guilds.

I am for the server merge if it will help you all with groups and guilds.

I know this is basically a singleplayer co-op game, but you should keep your fifteen bucks and just play Skyrim.

Interesting, the population on my server seems to be increasing.

I went to my server pricesly because I wantd an empty server, didn't last long.

I loled hard.

Nice one, mate!

As many pointed out earlier. The way you play it doesn't matter. The game is really nothing more than a single player game the way you elect to play it. You don't group. You saw 5 people on. You "normally" don't group and play with your wife. Not part of a guild. So you don't see it as a issue.

3 people in the fleet wouldn't phase you one bit. It wouldn't phase me either if that is how I play. However, I don't play like that 50% of the time while leveling and 90% of the time post 50 or whatever the end game is. Leveling up I group for heroic side quests and some flashpoints - thus the 50%. Oh, maybe a few warzones to keep Valor and Avatar level the same.

Post 50 though is another story. I can't tell you how many lvl 40+ instances I was unable to finish because the lack of people (which lead to tank or healer shortage). Warzones lost due to games starting before filling up, then aborting or cycling through the join, aborting, leave, bug which extends the game until the other side wins. The time it takes to build a group, set a time, or just queue up for something.

Hell - I've wanted to build the +10 datacron - guess what, can't. Not enough people on or enough people on that are interested or willing to help. This isn't a shard / instance thing either because there just isn't anyone on.

Your fine - great. Here is a beverage of your choice to you and your wife. However, the rest who play differently it is a deal breaker. Some will move, some won't. And hope all you or I want but 1.2 isn't going to address it.

Hate to say it while shards and instances did well for leveling and deploying the game it utterly failed it once people found their groove. People will leave faster than new people joining or older players resubbing. Just isn't going to happen.

This thread is still alive? Its just a constant troll vs troll. lol.

I wish people just face the fact that the servers are fine and so is the game.

Stop trollin then...
There's several dead servers.
