Maybe once more people hit 80 then well see some more dueling outside the main cities, I just enjoyed it more in that environment rather than the sewers :)
Let's take this in two parts.
People AFK at the login screen: yes, it did happen in the past. People did abuse that to "save" spots because of the long queue we were having. They were still taking a player spot, even if they weren't activelly playing, though. They were real people with real accounts logged in to the server. Besides that, with summer, content on hold, the core upgrade on our two other WotLK servers and their eventual merge, the queues on Lordaeron have vanished. People can now pretty much at any time log in without having queues, so the need to "save" spots for when they will play doesn't exists anymore. This goes hand-in-hand with what you say about players "AFKing in cities." Those players are still real players with real accounts just as much as the ones that would be in the login screen. The fact they aren't activelly playing doesn't makes them "fake" in any way. The fact they won't interact with you doesn't makes them "fake."
"Bots": which bots? Even better, which "tons of bots"?
So yes, try again to convince me, because all of this just got you a delay. You calling it an "opinion" isn't going to save you.
I don't know maybe those that are being banned daily by tenths? Have you ever been logged on Lordaeron and saw big red global messages?
Lordaeron 6659 players, so right now theres 6659 ingame and i can interact with each one of them? Is that right?
So you're accusing us of "fake" population based on some people using bots? Are you that dense? You even say they are being "banned daily," so how would that give any weight to you saying we "fake" numbers? Why exactly would someone "faking population" ban this supposed "fake population"?
I don't know, can you? Did you? Does them being AFK (or without any interest to interact with you) make them "fake"?
Simply put, you are going around with all sorts of finger-pointing, while still not answering: how exactly are our numbers fake? You went from players in the login screen to save spots and avoid queues to people being AFK in game to "bots," none of which give you any grounds to claim we are faking our population in the least. You've had enough chances by now. We don't take being called liars lightly.
