I'd like to think that despite the number of "I quit" threads, the game may still be thriving. People tend to notice when friends and associates of FC and LS leave, you don't pay attention to the number of new players coming in. People are going by the number of their circle leaving. It sad to see buddies leave, but in the long run, no one wants to pay to play something they aren't having fun with anymore. Thems the brakes.
