There's also this arrogant assumption by some that they make up such a huge swath of the playerbase that they're the only thing keeping the game alive. You sound like someone who refuses to buy a DVD player, then complains that you can't get home movies any more because people stopped making VHS tapes over a decade ago.

take a look at my post again. i already "bought the DVD player". choose your words with a bit more wisdom next time. and as for that assumption, as soon as that announcement hit the public, numbers started dropping significantly from the playerbase. server populations back that up. hopefully the numbers will pick back up with the new content, once the kneejerk reaction is passed. im not blaming SE, although undoubtedly there are ppl doing just that. i think its sad. even you, captain assumption, would agree that consoles do represent a significant portion of the playerbase. i dont think that console users would be out of line to suggest offline play. while it is true that PCs are the solution to continued online play, not everybody wants to get a pc just for that purpose. im so used to my xbox that when i play on pc i have to remember what key does what. that is simply the way things are with a lot of ppl.
