Your looking at it the wrong way.

If the game was getting better then we probably would not be losing so many people every day...
you say it is a battle of opinions...but my opinion has a dwindling player base backing it up...and the other opinion has...uhh...what does it have exactly?

I would like to see these statistics claiming how player base is dwindling. From what I understand, populations have been up from normal on many servers. Even on my own server, I've noticed an increase in player activity. However, as this is just an eyeball account, I will not present it as an absolute statistic.

Your statistics are coming from...where again?

It wouldn't surprise me if you're the same kind of person that claims so adamantly that "50%" of the player base is going to leave when subscription fees hit.
