Even if the restrictive subscriptions on PC Graal were to be resolved there'd still be a fairly big gulf between the external circumstances.

That's quite possibly the worst logic I've ever heard. The more playerbase you get on Graal, period, the more players you're going to have on any given server. Back when Classic dominated the playerlist there were still 5-6 other servers with a playerbase of atleast 50, which is good.
Now if you mean Classic will be overshadowed by iClassic, yeah probably. Who knows though, really.

I'm quite sure that the top tier iClassic sparrers have access to FB accounts. Not only that but important tournies like the GST is split between the FB server and iClassic server so no such thing is a problem. To eradicate sparring complaints there could be rooms dedicated to PC only and rooms dedicated to iSparrers only. You'd then have a room where everyone can join etc.
If scoreboard is the issue (which it isn't, if you look at the iClassic top 10 it's pretty much who you'd expect) then you'd have different scoreboards for PC sparrers and iSparrers. i.e you have two different sparring rates.

Complete nonsense. Side strafing is, imo, a technical advantage but it's not required to win even in high tier spars. Whether you like it or not the iServers are the only future PC Graal has. The only reason we've had a small influx of players in the past few years is because of the popularity Graal gained on the iDevice.
