In all honesty the arguments are kinda pointless, a community rep said they have no plans to do this and if they ever did it won't be for years anyway.

It's not gonna happen.

The people that care will probably of quit due to an unfriendly experience by then, the ones arguing against it will of probably also quit by then due ceasing of updates because player numbers reaching unprofitable numbers. The games player numbers are already spiraling down, it's only a matter of time before the numbers reach a point where development is cut due to not being profitable anymore.

They won't shut the game down but development is a whole other animal and that is linked to player numbers, since very few care about new players or returnees this honestly will be a well deserved fate for this games populace.
