One problem... The player count decreased towards the end of the week for PvE (I won't include PvP because that's not where new content came out so I can see why player counts were lower) The issue with claiming that the drop in numbers are proof that the game is 'dying' is reaching pretty far. You do need to take into consideration that since this isn't a huge content release, it's going to share the trait as any other week. Players get on, by Wednesday or Thursday they've gotten all milestones and forges etc done. So they play something else and come back Tuesday.
