Oh, goodie, it’s the variation on “Oh, you love X? Name every Y” 
I actually can define active players by simply excluding serial refreshers, but what you want to do with that is “prove” that it’s impossible to implement something that doesn’t require even the tiniest change in the way any of those players play the game.
Which brings me to:
Yeah, so, here’s the thing: I don’t really have to convince you that the official servers have a problem that’s serious enough to warrant inconveniencing you slightly. Not that I know that it will inconvenience you; you might be end up being perfectly fine, but that’s totally beside the point.
The point is that those of us who see this problem are trying to convince Funcom. One of the ways of doing so is to present the problem well enough to garner the support of those who don’t meet every solution with a knee-jerk reaction, but are instead willing to consider the problem and contemplate and discuss possible solutions 
Still, since you asked, I’m fairly convinced that the suggestion I’ve already linked before would not, in fact, inconvenience any active player.
