And I take it you know everyone to make these kind of dumb statements?
Everyone? Of coarse not.
But for the first few years I spent a lot of time Liaising for my unit with a great many other units. I got to know a lot of people. Heck there was 800 people in my unit at 1 point long before we even had 12v12 in the game. There were at least 2 other units in OC with similar numbers and a bunch of smaller ones as well. We ran comps and fun nights and all manner of things to keep people occupied until CW came out. Where are they all now? 99% are gone, units gutted. The real tragedy though is the people who could really get things done, events organised, leagues run. Most all of them are gone. Sure new ones have popped up but overall the community organised stuff has dropped by orders of magnitude.
Why have they gone. I of coarse can't speak for everyone but most of the people I knew were dissatisfied with PGI for various reasons.
Read the forums long enough and you see a trend. White Knights who would defend every decision by PGI almost literally to death. Gone. Some are even BitterVets now. Wheres Heffay, or Imperious the guy who famously sent PGI a cake as a thank you only to regret it some time later. Even Dane seems to have gone quiet after much effort to get things changed.
I can make blanket statements like that because I have seen how people's feelings for this game have change first hand over time and because it is simple human nature that people will do something they like and the won't play if they don't like it. To think other wise is just plain stupid.
