On miller i noticed the VS population drastically increased in the past week(s).
Might just be my odd times playing, but if i want the underdog feeling i actually have to switch over to TR now lol (or NC, but...naaah).

Maybe 20 to 30 people max. I really wouldn't call this a "drastic increase" in the past few weeks. Also the fourth faction might play into this. And TR pretty much never is the underdog. Unless your are playing around 2 to 4 am. Granted, their numbers took a hit, but I suppose thats the 4th factioners.

If anything I see a rather depressing overall downwards trend. But that applies for all factions.

Regarding the title of this thread...

It was glaringly obvious that something was wrong with how WDS played out early on.
Instead of fixing the reasons behind the skewed result when everyone was measured by the same yard stick, they just changed how things are measured.

Having the north gate STILL dominates Indar (and corresponding gates on other continents), having the largest population is STILL dominating the server. You're just rewarded differently in a system detached from what's really playing out on the map.

So, in my oppinion, WDS is still ridiculous, they're just doing a better job hiding it.

This is called "perception engineering". Changing the way people look at the problem instead of fixing the problem. Oh, not problem, i mean issue. (See what I did there?)
