Server population is dropping...

Just trolling?

Likewise incapable of having a constructive discussion as some of the other trolls I named?

Enjoy the moderator protection; you guys do more to make these forums unattractive than the foreign trolls ever could. +1.

Launch a LFG tool (server only) close some servers or free migrations and get full servers with lots of groups going on. Everyone is happy... Hopefully?

HELL NO. How dare you try to trivialize what we've accomplished and the punishment we have endured. All those hours looking for 2 people to fill our group! All later generations playing this game must suffer what we went through too!

I'm "protected" because I'm not doing anything wrong.

I haven't insulted you. I haven't said anything particularly mean. All I've done (if you actually bother to go back through my posts) is point out that everyone freaking out about this computer game is far too invested in this computer game. People take themselves, their characters, the developers, the platform, the pay structure, the populations sometimes more seriously than their jobs, their families, or even national politics.

It's a vanilla mmo. If you're unhappy with the state of it, shelve it until it changes or you forget about it completely because something better came along. This is not rabid fanboism... it's just common sense.

So, you go onto a forum that is specifically for discussing a computer game and see people discussing a computer game and assume that's all they do?

You don't know how people spend the rest of their time. Maybe they have given much of their time during the day to different endeavors; family, friends, politics, religion. All you see here is the slice of their day where they discuss a particular topic. Since that's the only slice you see, you evidently assume that's all there is.

One could just as easily say to you "You spend all of your time worrying about what other people think of a computer game! Get a life!" But anyone employing even marginal critical thinking skills will recognize that that probably isn't true.

The issue isn't one of people worrying too much about a computer game, it's more to do with your perspective, or lack of it, than anything else.
