Dumb but genuine question for the entire Raid community.

Has anyone actually met someone IRL that plays this game, like you just happen to come across? Is everyone in hiding, or am I just unlucky and have never spotted them?

I know this game doesn't have the best reputation for obvious reasons, but Plarium has boasted about having a high player count before, but I've yet to actually meet someone who plays this game. I tend to be pretty open when talking about playing Raid, but most people say they have either never heard of it or have just skipped the ads for it on YouTube.

What are your experiences with other Raid players if you've bumped into them?
