I have a server, its cap is 1,000.
low pop: 1-250
standard: 251-500
high: 501-750
very high: 751-1,000
My thresholds are currently set at 25% per level.
Over the next two months I increase my server cap to 1,500. The most logical choice would be to split that number again at 25% per level. However, what you are saying is that instead they did this.
low pop: 1-250
standard: 251-500
high: 501-750
very high: 751-1,500
My pop thresholds are now 16%/16%/16%/50% <--- see how ridiculous that looks?
Obviously this is just an example and no indicative of BW's actual servers, but it at least points out how ridiculous this thinking is. And no I don't work at BW, but neither do you. And at least my argument is logical, where as yours is just a fist full of straws.
