Are public servers becoming unplayable?

I'm in a clan (not one that koses etc aka a fairly friendly one) and we have people who are kind enough to let us use their private servers and my god. It is SO much nicer playing in a private server. We're never over 10 ppl so there's always the carcasses to eat and I love it sm. I don't yet chased, targeted, killed as a baby NOTHING. It's so refreshing and nice. No hackers, no kosers, no exploiters. I wish all servers were like this honestly. I managed to grow so many creatures and it's more fun to play and fly around when I don't have to worry about an Eigion snatching and killing me.
