I believe people who are leaving are like kids of CoD era (not to insult anyone, I mean the new CoDs), who were interested with ARMA, but dropped that because "OMGURTOOHARDKKTHXBB".
Fewer players? Good. Sorry for those words, but it is better for us. I mean, not everyone were those lolwuts, but seriously, this is better for new players who WANT TO RP. Said enough, at least for me. I mean, face it. This is like every other MMO (in fact Disco is MO), where there will be players that WILL ruin experience of everyone else. But I am grateful for one thing:
There's nothing like "GOLD PLZ". In fact, we have several things like that (lolpirates, 12 million or die), but that's so rare so our experience is not that bad.
And it is kinda pity, on the other hand, that players leave. I mean, this is one of the very few places that I can play with players, not forced to master the game PvP, to level up for few days to even try to cooperate/go against them. I love RP here and it would be a pity if it just went offline. Most of the games I would love to play are time consuming, require grinding, money-wasting or just simply won't run on this junk of mine.
