My friends do not play anywhere near as much as I do, I have almost 600 days of playtime. Most of them are not hardcore players, I enjoy their company. One of those people I play with is my IRL boyfriend.
If they were gone, I would probably stop playing and most likely would keep my sub active since I don't care about $10 per month. I spend 10x that on cable tv that I barely watch.
Lastly, not every one playing this game is a "grown man".
