I know you're not defending them so don't take this as an attack on you.

I think what they fail to consider is that some of us either aren't going to do the event as is, or are going to try it and get fed up with it quickly. Good luck getting people like that to stick around for years, SE, especially when there's really not much else to do at the moment and not much promising stuff on the horizon.
