I am still rather torn on the whole situation. It is obvious to me that there is an imbalance in the realms. It is also obvious to me that Ignis as a whole has no desire to actually try and defend their fort during the day/afternoon (EST for me) when they are usually being farmed.
For the longest time it was Alsius at Menirah every day, with Syrtis at Samal occasionally thrown. I would go out there, and after giving up my RP quota, I would ragequit and go back to grinding. When I get to Meleketi beach (lvl 44+ grinders) there are no less than 6 people there on any given afternoon. It is usually so populated that grinding is pointless.
On multiple occasions I have asked why they haven't stopped for 5 min to come help at the fort that has been held for A COUPLE HOURS now. Their response, "Why? They'll just take it again."
If Ignis as a whole actually cared and showed up in numbers to defend our forts, maybe we would stop being picked on so much. As much as we talk crap about the other realms, I'm sure people over there actually understand common sense, and will eventually say, "Wait, we just got overtaken 3 times... lets go pick on Alsius."
With that said, if NGD can provide some evidence that we are underpopulated, I'd be more than willing to accept some sort of fix
