Yeah im concerned we have hobbled the midgame on both servers in the name of there not being enough fire beetles for people who were likely going to quit before hitting level 20 anyway (a problem that solves itself naturally as player levels stratify).
Bearing in mind numbers of players on both servers will only decline over the coming months. In addition to that, you kno its gonna be a total shit show when/if they attempt a server merge, but thats another day.

It's true that it is a compromise, but a seemingly necessary one. Not much different than on live when they continuously opened new servers as the overall population grew. The game needs to be playable for those just starting, else they will leave and go play something else. At least if Sony wanted those subscription payments.
It's a better situation, at least temporarily, to have everyone with more than enough to keep them busy, rather than have many shuffling around at a snail's pace. A player can't really do anything to fix a lack of mobs, but on the flip side, a player CAN adjust to smaller group play and still keep plenty busy. And I think it mirrors the classic experience.
