those players leaving again go back to whatever game they are playing and tells potential customers the new stuff is horrid and not to bother playing yet. so no by doing that they are not just hurting the few players left, but the ones waiting on it to get better and future potentials as well.
Very well said as usual, darkstarpoet. This is precisely why they had to adjust the targeting system 3 times, and in the last case, a patch that took all day to download just to tweak the targeting system. With a test server, the targeting system would have been worked out well in advance of an official release.
