I'm not saying normal PC servers would necessarily die out as a result, but it could prevent them from flourishing, inwhich there'd still be the same global lack of developmental incentive, opportunity and motivation, which is bad for Graal.

I honestly can't believe you still view it at that incredibly unrealistic angle. If you increase the amount of people logging on through computers you're increasing the total playerpool and will inevitably increase the playercount of other servers, even by a minimal amount.

There aren't complaints about it outside of sparring and strafing is such a minimal effect in those fields that it isn't important.
