Think of people who play outside peak. First, it means that NPC interrupt like every second (sometimes even more) lane you take. And also, when there is 20-30 people on the server, it is almost impossible to obtain escort, even if you would want it.

We had period of strong NPCs, especially in Gallia after it was introduced. What was result? People were not willing to play there, because NPCs were constantly ruining interactions between players and especially unlawfuls were almost unable to stay alive near lanes, gates and stations. Having any fight there was impossible as unlawful because sooner or later, some gunboat or even battleship spawned on your back and killed you. And that´s really not fun.

On a ragebreak. Or ragequit. Time will tell.
