What people don't seem to get (maybe they do and they're just being thick for the hell of it) is that just because the server YOU play on may have 200 or folks in fleet at a given moment, it doesn't mean that's the same for every server.
I play mainly imperial side on The Constant. During prime time this weekend I saw at most around 70 people in fleet. I switched up and made a Rep side Jedi on Lord Adraas and fleet had well over 170 people and even Corusant had well over 150. Now that may not seem like a big difference but when you are try to put a group together or even just looking for "atmosphere" that extra 100 - 120 people make all the difference.
A lot of the people posting this stuff aren't trying to detract from the game, we like it. We just want more opportunity to play with other people so we can get the most out of the game. It is, after all, an MMO. So please do everyone a favor and don't let your specific personal observation on your servers status be the be all and end all, because it isn't.
