Now Vanguard is shooting for 500k, and as we said before 450k morons. Assuming Vanguard goes with half the servers WoW US does (which is unlikely, it will probably be a bit lower), we have:

450k/45 = 10k retards per server.

Imagine that, either way you end up facing the same amount of morons on your server. Of course the higher population game is going to have a higher number overall. However, you will never interact with most of that population. Proportionally per server you're not looking at a difference.

/yawn When did we go from talking about whole games to servers? Anything to try and make yourself seem right. Good for you.

Well, you said:

The reason they are upbeat about it is hopefully Vanguard won't have the amount of retards, crybabies, and morons WoW does. If by being smaller they can cut out a huge % of those type of people listed above it will be a GREAT GAME indeed.

I was trying to point out that being smaller does not mean that you will have to deal with less retards on a daily basis. They are not cutting out a huge % of morons *proportionally*. You're still dealing with the same amount per server.

Because you primaraily interact with the people you share the server with, rather than the entire playerbase?

I give up. W/E you say chief.
