You have to get the amount of visitors via migration from mobile servers, and factor in the playercount PC servers would lose up-front, as well as the effect of being the 3rd/4th/5th/6th choice tried server as a result of playercount based list order.
Nobody can really be sure one way or the other, it is wrong to make such a definitive assumption.

A prosperous PC Graal however would not have negative consequences to the playercount of the iPhone servers, while a more inciting development platform without the current bottlenecking could have positive consequences for the iPhone servers.

When I first mentioned strafing I didn't mean it as the single one and only technical advantage PC users have, I'm surprised such a big argument is being made regarding that alone. Blink is also an important aspect of sparring, plus frame rate would be important in crowded locations such as guild forts.
