Our numbers at high levels are still much lower than other classes for this very reason: the bandwagoners, who likely moved to Archers from Bishops or DKs or Hermits, figured that leveling a hunter would be every bit as easy as those jobs. They then found out the hard truths of being an archer and quit early on. This leaves our item prices inflated (because funded bandwagoners always buy their equips 80 levels in advance) and the population small. Isn't it funny how everyone wants us to have great sharp eyes, and won't party anyone who doesn't, yet they want to charge us out the ass for it? >_>
I also don't feel bad for DKs since most of them were bandwagoners as well. I do feel bad for people who sincerely picked that class because they felt it was the right one for them.
Though its true that archers still have the smallest numbers in terms of 4th job classes, I think we're gaining on other classes every day (least that's what I see)/there are more becoming 4th job than before 4th job was around.
I dont know other servers, but if you're truly funded, you dont start training till 14x: Exchange quests to 20ish, bone fish glitch up to a decent level, PQ to 7x, Ultimate leeching at hafs/wolf spiders till 10x, ultimate Newtie leeching till 13-14x/whenever you want to train.
A LOT of people leech for ages off their own characters/buy leech off others that they dont start training till they're well into their 13x-14x levels. For them, how long it takes to train during the lower jobs dont really matter, sadly =X
