open camps

Open camps to do what, bot MLs while asleep?

It doesn't really feel that crowded on Asura anymore. But will be right back to congestion when new HTBF pops.

shithole full of players with a stocked AH,

Tbh, as someone who's on one of the bottom 3 servers, I'd pick this option in a heartbeat.

Between most ls being social (barely even that... lol) with barely any endgame being done to the AH being barren for most things, it's gotten incredibly difficult to do things or even make gil outside sparks.
For example, take Alabaster parts. Look at them on Sylph, not a single one of any part has sold since May 24th. Now change it to other servers and look at how every single other server, even the two below Sylph (as of right now on XIAH), have had sales up until this week, on most parts with an occasional single part that hasn't sold in a few weeks. It's not even a "no one is buying limbus stuff anymore" because it's strictly Sylph where they're just not selling while every other server still is...
That's not even the only items that aren't selling anymore. It's bad. I've basically been just using the AH as extra storage lately because things just go up there to rot.

Sure, it's nice being able to freely grind, but it might as well be a single player game here. Last night around prime time, there was roughly 380-400 people on (jumps to 450-480 on weekends) but if I'm being brutally honest, it's very likely to not even be 80 real people once you remove the bots and alts.
I play one character so I don't have an army to plow through everything and I've tried to get people for ody, sortie, limbus etc and it's usually met with silence or the one static in my ls who already did it. I can't even work on campaign ops for Mastery Rank because the nations only have their cities and nothing else, which is something I haven't seen since 2009...

A friend was talking to a JP group here the other day and was told "Sylph wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for us". Usually I'd assume that's just JP being JP, but seeing the things I've seen here, I can honestly 100% believe it.

The state of the small servers, or maybe just this one since the others seem better off even though they're all around the same population, makes me want to take a break again. Except each time I have, I come back and ***is worse :|

Sounds like it's mostly just sylph? Small server here: parts are massively stocked, to the point where i don't even think about supply, because I can easily snag anything I want off AH at any time.

Campaign is probably fine, though I rarely check. I've heard that a single, dedicated, player can take over zones these days though, so that might be an option. Rumor has it some guy on our server is single-handedly maintaining windy's dominance in the past.

For grouping up for events, we've got at least 4? Maybe a bit more, groups that are running endgame events in my linkshell, and lots of random people showing up and putting together stuff like UNMs, GF, etc throughout the day. It's quite active, especially lately.

As opposed to paying RMT to bot MLs for you while asleep?

Kraken Club value has fallen off worse than Jaylen Brown's trade value. I haven't used mine in maybe 6 months. Got it for less than half of what Asura sells it for, but can't be bothered to list and sell it because it will mean I never change to Beastmaster ever again (that's actually not a bad thing). I don't even know which jobs still get great use out of it anymore. DRG = Prime, my Bard sometimes uses it for self SC, but I'm not sure it's still holding onto the inflated value it ballooned up to in recent years.
FCK THOSE STUPID R*TARDS
I'M SICK WHAT A JOKE ?

Make friends.

If you can't make friends, you will be forced to either make alts, or leave for a server that lets you buy content.

It is what it is.

/shrug

You're right, on the tiny tiny servers XI feels like a single player game. Some people prefer that.

Less drama, more peace. Logon to relax and do whatever the *** you want instead of feeling beholden to an LS's schedule.
