Galeas himself has literally posted %ratio of Ely to asmo few days after release it was 51 to 49 and server was locked right after. People were posting numbers on discord as well and the elyos had more people in all the counts (although the difference was only around 200 people) so quit complaining cause once elyos organize during the siege they will get divine.
Open world is zergy for both sides.
How about an updated count limited to the lvl 50s.
That wouldn't work now since the population is too big. Most if not all classes exceed the 110 characters limit at 50. It was possible to do first few days after lock cause people were levelling and you could sort by level ranges.
