The irony of that wasn't lost on me, but this would be the part where someone chimes in and notes how housing is a "bigger" problem and such.

It is, but it isn't. And to see that there'd still been no response from even a rep after all this time is all the answer I need. I made it clear that a more proactive approach to communicating with the community and making note of their input on matters before making sweeping or surprise changes is the better approach. Yet we've come to this point.

They want to continue attempting to appeal to a new, fairweather PvP community, and not the ones who stuck with it all along, for all the good and bad of it, and at the expense of completely alienating and losing that dedicated community. Fine. Let's see how that goes.
