That being said, I'm not entirely opposed to free stuff and more importantly I guess this would be a cool reward if you've been subscribed for 2 years. I'm just not happy that it's yet another FF7 related thing.
I think a lot of people would, but it's pretty much the 'go to' area for a large portion of the community simply because that's where a consistent number of role-players can be found. Not everyone is fond of randomly turning up to arranged events, after all, especially since many may not fit their character's concept.
Granted, role-play can be found elsewhere too but it can be very difficult to get involved with it. A lot of people within this community like to present themselves as open and welcoming on this site to paint themselves and their buddies in a certain light but when approached in-game they can be very nasty and averse to outsiders.
The Quicksand isn't terrible though. It's just rather hit and miss - though there's some hidden gems to be found. The same can be said of pretty much every major hub in other MMO's too, be it Divinity's Reach in GW2 or Stormwind/Silvermoon in WoW.
