It may be difficult to imagine properly what 2% feels like for players that don't experience the game. To illustrate what that feels like, here is an example of my own from Monday night:
945pm GMT-7 Log in, in Medi P1. Several (2-4) AFK LE players and myself.
I decide I'm going to look for trouble.
Run to PP - no one to be seen there or back
GR to MB and hop on a Quad - no one seen
Scour J1 and surrounding zones, the head east to Battle Dome for a quick search, then I dismiss my quad and GR to DRT - Still no player sightings.
<No conversation movement in any global chat mode during this time>
Wait for SI @ DRT, scour DRT and surrounding zones including Cycrow and the area entrance around Gaia - still no player sightings
Put my veh up in DRT & GR to TH
Spawn veh, head west towards Regants, in to Legacy, all the way down in to the boss room - no player sightings
1130pm GMT-7 Head back to TH, despawn my quad, genrep to NC surrounded by the same group of AFK's that I logged in with and log out for the night... Not having seen a single active player the whole damn time.
If you think that a single active player doesn't mean anything, you don't know what we go through night after night after night after night. Exploiter or not... it is someone who is playing. That alone is almost reason enough for me to kiss them right on their shitty mouth.
