Like it or not, the game does need to take steps to appeal to/retain new players too.
IDo you shaft your existing playerbase to make things better for new players or shaft new players while keeping your existing one happy? One can lead to people mass leaving in droves while the other can lead to no new people joining (which I personally feel is less likely). Who do you hurt in this situation?
