People would pick the side they thought would win

In a class of 30 children, only one would actually punch the ginger kid with glasses, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have 5-6 lackeys around him because he's powerful.
In my opinion a creator we've never seen offers a less impressive prospect than a very present Dark One who in 100 years has turned a utopia into a world at war.
Also given the progress the Shadow made during the first three years of the war, that would have attracted more.
The DO would have been seen as unbeatable to a large ammount of people. A floored victory is better than a righteous defeat to many, if it means life.
Only Ishy knows what the DO wants really, I imagine if the others knew then you'd have nobody joining the shadow at all, however, as the common DF sees it, the risk of the light losing is obviously too great to make the "right" decision.

Come to the dark side, We have candy!

I'd think the lifespan and power a channeler has are both big factors

The BA must be better at recruiting than normal Aes Sedai

I see no reason to believe Kari was a Darkfriend. Ishamael is a liar, and that's that.

The same could be said for the great majority of characters in the series. *NM*

In the Age of Legends, 50% of channelers turned to the Shadow, if memory serves. *NM*

agreed. accepting that power comes at a price isn't evil. it's what drives people NOT to fail...

So by your argument, very few people murder, steal or cheat?
