Your fatalism is not justified. Plus: It'd be good, instead of trolling, if you just go ahead pointing out what you've actually lost.

Every MMO raiding scene has feeding guilds. They teach people and then other guilds poach them. If you are a feeding guild then the only way to stop the poaching is to progress. Some players are happy to be in a guild for the social aspect where as others want to progress. Those who want progress don't really care what guild they are in so they are happy to play leap frog on the lower tier guilds. As the power creep has become insane a lot of guilds have moved up from being a feeding guild and are pretty close to downing Avatus. So this has lead to a massive drop is recruiting for both ends of the spectrum. Also most new players that i have played with and have been brought into our raids have come and gone. I think we have 1 person from the f2p launch left in the raiding side of the guild and maybe 2 people who dont raid. The rest got the carry and left, Because why would they stay? The content is a long way off and most of us who are still here are just farming for a pink and the new players are at the end of the line when it comes to pink drops.

The problem is people not sticking around. I've seen it enough now since F2P has hit. We've had applicants that simply dissapeared 2 days after making an application. We've had applicants that dissapeared 1 wek after being accepted We've had applicants that refused to raid because they couldn't get the mechanics right, even after having trained in dungeons We've had applicants that raided once and then dissapeared because numerous reasons. The problem is not guilds refusing to invest time. Heck we run dungeons daily to get people attuned; geared or some practise on mechanics. We raid twice a week in Genetic Archives; but every raid it becomes harder to just scrape people together. Nothing is binding people to this game anymore. With the subscription people at least had the illusion they had to hop online because of their sub running. Now? They jump from one F2P game to another; leaving as fast as they joined. I hope people at some point realize that this is killing off every single game, one at a time. And int he end; there's going to be nothing left.
